The Gods
Shall not
Put their hammers down
Mending souls, against the anvils,
Without a sound
Hidden realm of the Gods...

hammers are swinging
saws are buzzing
the carpenter ants
shall gather
the nails while
volunteering their time
in rebuilding Noah's Ark...

Hammers of right and wrong in eternal lack of bond;
A Name to all ears beautiful and fond!...

With hammers and get rich schemes

He ravished the mountains and polluted the streams

And never recorded at what cost

He paid for paradise lost...

      To fix with a hug or a kiss 
         means nothing much was amiss

         ~ the problem is truly dire

Pour with will your molten soul
On lyric molds that is your art
Every beat of hammers bold
To shape, imbue, impart
Rhymes ring true in that honest forge
Your heart...

Hammers of your words
strike again and again.
My soul spirals downward 
uncontrolled. My malleable 
heart forever twisted by 
wicked words. My Love 
stranded behind an 
unbreakable wall of Pain....

It's a gun metal morning
nail-head rain hammers
a quitting earth.
The sky
is a technical knockout.
Making a third cup
of black coffee,
I elbow a dullness aside,
try a few butterfly steps
get ready
for the daily fight....

butterflies flutter in your presence 
bluebells ring the sound of your voice 
bold moon gives bright sun a turn 
fireflies light when you smile 
streams riffle your name 
my heart hammers 
in my mind
is this
love

I walk quickly in circles without hurry
Thinking in panic without thought or worry
As rain hammers down from clear blue skies
Soaking me to the skin; leaving me bone dry
I cross a road without progressing
Whilst rushing slowly to keep from digressing...

Hey, Cruel Memories
that I don't want to remember!
Do not beat all the pains and agonies
on my face
just like tens of hammers
pounding on one anvil
as if to shape a horseshoe,
It’s an absolute disgrace
cause you will then be implicated
in a scandal...

The tulips and the marigolds were in a gun battle today.
Queen of Tulips was mad for her latest slave Charlie had run away.
She started the battle with hatchets, battle axes, and hammers too.
Queen of Marigolds ended it with assault rifles, painted periwinkle blue....

But carry on he did young Michael
Upon his steed his trusted cycle
Set sail for another land
A boat he sailed with a hammers flag

Soon his tyres touched 
And although he thought as much
That this place smelled like marzipan
He'd landed in Afghanistan

Skyfall

Big massive piling machine hammers thumps huge steel 
iron girders into evil rancid ground. Tree spiralling behemoth rams 
dead tree stumps into bare earth to hold up falling cracked sky. 
Without them we’d be crushed dead. Empty heavy sky forces on me, us....

I think of poetry
sometimes as sacred, 

at an altar

summoned by words
of God -- 

every expression a driven
reverberation,

myself a mere fork tuning
struck by hammers unfathomable

truth~ feeling more transcriber

such spiritual rings transcending Bard's --

The repetitive saw of metal against metal,

The bashing of steel for designs,

The whir of the copper polished

And the hiss of the patina finished.

The file and sandpaper rasping on the brass

The noise all around

The hammers they pound,

As we create our own sound....

Machete jabs
cycle through a staccato lied.
 
The music is Jurassic,
a tune rattled in the throat
of a feathered lizard.
 
It pecks out the genetic code
of jackhammers.
Stabs eardrums deep,
a primal stirring
of blood and sap.
 
The forest echoes
as time hammers on....

Turgid tempest traipses slowly,
heavy thunder, hammers holy,
livid lightning lights the lowly.

Storm surges, striking sand-bar,
winds wailing, whipping wife’s car,
rain races to rills and rock scars.

Power pulses, promising pain,
branches break-off, block the brave,
dumb to drive on dreadful days....
