Short Gurgled Poems

Spoken by the tides,
Gurgled legends of past shores:
Mythical currents....

soda stream pops
gargles are gurgled
mischievous meanders over moss
jutting chins of fresh shaven
intrusive rocks
sunlit tendrils stroking at the seams...

River of summer, how long it gurgled on
To last in your beauty, crystal and veiled---
How innocent of us , we never dreamed.

Pritzker gleaned his mansion of crappers 
for the purpose of not paying taxes
but when his belly gurgled 
alleyways filled with his turds
a homeless gal just sat back and laughed...

Her body fell sideways -
Stayed there
She gurgled as if she were
Reciting a love poem
Through a storm drain

She never complained
Nor did she forgive

She plowed her mind
Ahead of her wheelchair
Gray hair electrified
With aftershocks

Burning rubber all the way...

the drums were silent
first time in many moons
little bear woke with a start
harvest moon winked
brother stars giggled
laughing brook gurgled
a movement in the bushes
little bear listened hard
but the drums were silent
was grandpa okay?
daylight would bring answers...

Dearest ,darling,beloved child,
so innocent,so meek and mild,
I in wonder,remain beguiled.

Precious,perfect in miniature,
voiced gurgled thoughts so pure,
in these arms slumbered so sure.

A gift from heaven,l do suppose,
a unique human exists  in such quiet repose,
with potential that education alone grows...

Little baby,so snugly sleep
sweet dream,dear child,no longer weep,
in these arms slumber deep;
Dearest ,darling,beloved child,
so innocent,so meek and mild,
we in wonder,beguiled;
Precious,perfect in miniature,
voicing gurgled thoughts so pure,
in these arms slumber sure;
A gift from heaven,all suppose,
blessed in this quiet repose,
safe,secure,as you doze....

I rowed for what seemed like an hour;
the water gurgled oh so pleasantly.
I had the morning to myself:
no other boats as far as I could see.
Warmed up, I soon increased my stroke,
And pulled as I had never pulled before,
the legs on fire, heart thumping fast,
sweat ran in rivulets from every pore.
The timer dinged, so I got up,
flipped off the lights, and shut the basement door....

Forget those words, cold, distant calls
Penned to lead you o’er the falls
Toward blank white emptiness below

Hush now, your gurgled snarl
vile drool of fettered rage
Your words have not yet come of age

Yet they burn in flameless fire
Purging all but one desire
One word, that word, that perfect tone

Leave it there, a diamond lost,
Upon the edgeless yellow page
An ember’s light amid the frost...

CRADLE SONG
Little baby,so snugly sleep
sweet dream,dear child,no longer weep,
in these arms slumber deep;
Dearest ,darling,beloved child,
so innocent,so meek and mild,
we in wonder,beguiled;
Precious,perfect in miniature,
voicing gurgled thoughts so pure,
in these arms slumber sure;
A gift from heaven,all suppose,
blessed in this quiet repose,
safe,secure,as you doze.

Tapping on my window pane
I heard the sighing of the rain

It poured down ever so fast
I didn't think that it would last

It came in sheets of vapor mist
Pounding the walls with its fist

As it gurgled down the gutter
It played havoc with the shutter

I smelt the scent of natures fury
It made me feel mighty leery

The rain lasted all night long
As it sang its endless song

Without adieu, it faded away
As I rose to start the day...
