Short Gesticulate Poems

Borborgymus, Borborgymi,
Eructate so delightfully!
I ruminate, throat tickles late,
And choking, I gesticulate.
I just ate but I don’t gestate.
Who throws the voice? Seems I’m the dummy.
Ventriloquist and talking tummy.
Borborgymi, Borborgymus
A lovely word, why all the fuss?

H/T to Milt’s Mysterious Rumbling Noises...

How do I compare to thee
Your intransience knows no bounds
Id gesticulate more often than not
Your red pattern dress
Your Yes is a No
You're darndest to know
You're like a Newfoundland 
leeching unreson
Your everyones bosom except mine
You turn me into wilderness
I do not know my heart ?
I am left speechless
On the morning of your coming
you leave me dumb confounded...

How do I compare to thee?

Your intransience knows no bounds

Id gesticulate more often than not

Your red Mantra dress knows no warmth

Your like a mermaid uncaught

You're darndest to know

You're like a Newfoundland

Leeching perilous unreason

Your everyone’s confidante except mine

You turn me into wilderness

I do not know my heart? 

I am left speechless

On the morning of your coming

you leave me dumb confounded

Our hands so often shine for us
  though they may undermine us
They might even confine us, yet 
  our hands our what truly define us --

Our hands gesture, gesticulate, threaten and warn
  expressing our feelings from the moment we're born
We wave excited greetings to the world as day dawns 
  bury our faces in them, as a loved one's passing we mourn

Words come out of our mouths, but we speak with our hands
  A time-honored tradition, through time's shifting sands...

Dumb charade was a riot,
they laughed as he could not get,
what she pointed with fret,
he made errors,
as she shouted in clamour,
time was running out fast,
they were trying hard,
and could get object at last,
I was watching all of them,
and was also laughing ahem,
a thought struck me there and then,
look at the hundreds of deaf and dumb,
who play this game with so much elan,
without any mirth and plan,
evrybody lets them gesticulate and flap,
but nobody come forward to clap....
