About a Stutter

If someone stutters that you meet
Just think of it like it's a treat
You might extol 
It's a drum roll
Keeping you on the edge of your seat!

Premium Member Drum Roll, Please---

a woodpecker drums
     from his perch on the high pole---

       cracks in the silence
          of a sunny afternoon
              echoes through a neighborhood

Heart beat, drum roll, breath flow, bliss throb, repeats Echoes resound Amplified Within Mind ~ Soul Yearning To connect Self with spirit Cajoles ego to shift into silence 16-June-2021
Form: Tetractys

Silent say so

The drum roll
beats out control
in a game
of warped reframe.
On a coiling balustrade
plays meister masquerade
to craft the will
at bellowed drill.
Docile rule
disarms to fool.
With artful ruse
the vapid lose.

The Last Drum Roll

What is the baseline 
  of your life?

How deep is the chord structure 
  of your meaning?

What is that riff that no raff 
  can destroy?

How long is your drum roll 
 —at the end?

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)


Premium Member Dance the Day Away

~ Dance the Day Away ~

  Wake up to a waltz
    Boogie out of bed

  Calypso-on your clothes
    Drum-roll downstairs

  Carumba 'round the kitchen
    Bunny-hop to breakfast

  Limbo into lunch
    Cha-cha as you chew

  ~ Mamba as you munch

Premium Member OH APRIL

Oh April
I hear you tapping
Tapping on sweet Spring’s back door
Running through the streets after dark
Undisciplined, unchaperoned
Chattering in a fledgling nest
Peeking from behind softened soil
Basking in a sunrise drum roll
I hear nature whisper
OH! APRIL

Premium Member Ancient River Passing Song

Ancient river, passing song
always here forever gone
rippled by flirtatious winds
disappearing round its bends.

Crooked fingers drawing lines
tributaries, twisted tines
counting coup on drum roll stones
ancient rivers heading home.

Releasing the Mental Health Ghosts

Hence, forth I walk.
Too Summer I talk
When I leap, Jump I find.
I am the intellectual suffering voices.
When the voices rise.
I find the drastic Dragon.
Drum-roll.
I excavate terminologies.
Hence I colour the colour-book.
So forth
To remove the shadows
Of the voices, which I brask.

Rain

she walks in quietly
smiling like a child
drum roll on the
tin roof
i love her
i am welcoming
she is kind
the dry earth dancing
her touch of love
tears of joy
i am free now like
a butterfly float
i open my mouth
to her generosity
she covers me with
wet kisses hiding 
my tears in her lap
i walk in the street
of bliss 
orchestra of the 
wind

Mute Song

Raining metallic drops
Pounding on my head,
A drum roll...

Raining metallic drops
Slide along my hair,
A violin serenade..

Raining metallic drops
Bouncing from my eyelashes,
A piano symphony..

Raining metallic drops
Makes mascara disappear,
The audience applauses..

Raining metallic drops,
I'll be thinking of you
Next time black clouds spit.

Premium Member Fresh Beginnings

radiating colors
paradise echoing 
softly touched
innermost desire
deep within
beating on
the walls
of the heart

coursing through
blood red
feelings for
one rose
handing you
an emotion
all that i am
speaking volumes
within blossoms

your fingers
upon the pulse
beating heart plays
one tune
only you
in a drum roll
the door opens
as you enter
deep chambers
sparking new beginnings
a beautiful start

Premium Member Night Serenade

The wind rustled through the trees
forming a whispering melody 
the higher pitches made a whistling sound
while the lower pitches were soft moans
as the wind intensified and released
in harmony a song was created that
only nature understood
it continued with a definite rhythm
now accompanied by a drum roll 
as hands of  thunder joined in
they both took a deep breath
started their harmony 
enjoying a night serenade.

Premium Member Rods of Steel Will Bend

I heard the steady cadence
The drum roll in the street
A thousand tramping soldiers 
Tasting of defeat.
The sound of occupation
I thought it could not be,
A flag so full of justice
Would always flutter free.
I had dreamed a thousand dreams
And cast them to the wind
But often had forgotten
Even rods of steel will bend.
Raucous laughter melted
In the wake of dust and steam
Then suddenly awakened
I found it all a dream.

Premium Member A BLACKPOOL TRAM

A distant mumble, a muffled drum roll. 
Seconds on, come the serious decibels. 
Heavy rumbling with sharp percussions. 
Squeal of the steel; wheel scraping on the rail. 
Metal clatter loudens then dies to silence.
Spent fares alight and new fares climb aboard. 

Ting ting. The cream and green is off again, 
Above it, brief flashes of lightning blue 
As straying volts are lost to salty air. 
Soon far off the rumbling fading away.

Open Mic

It was open mic nite
or maybe ladies night
no matter, wasn’t my scene
so I ordered a beer and took
my seat

The show was amatuer night
for sure
everyone laughed
drum roll
curtains

left my glass with the waitress
and my tip
caught a guy out in the front lot
hocking CD’s at ten bucks a pop

says hes a musician, I should hear his stuff
its gangster rap
ten spot later
blazed down the road

not my scene
but I take
my seat

Drum Roll For the Dumb Role....

You don't have to be blonde to play this game
shamefully displayed in acting so vain
Barbie and Ken sitting high on their pedastal
adventurous comments on lifes megaphone
meglomaniac's fallen star status
their image of worth has somehow entrapped us
sad sorry game of walking advertisement
their ruse is the same,only fodder amusement

Drum roll for the dumb role,as they slide down that pole
you don't have to be blonde,to carry on as a fool......

Premium Member With Love

The night gives a drum roll...
I know it's coming...
My heart skips a beat...
The girl keeps on drumming

She teases my soul....
Like she's having fun
She do me with love...
The way I love being done

When there's rain in my eyes...
She showers it with kisses...
She aims to please...
My girl never misses...

It's funny how fast,
She puts my blues on the run...
She do me with love!
The way I love being done!!
