Short Hearers Poems

Elect 
Is the north star 
Serene and motionless 
All stars revolving around them
Dancing...

and hearers become true thinkers
and thinkers can't help but be feelers

Than true listeners, are true doers....

composer's music
                                            various sounds' timely beats
                                                 singer's song release

                                                    in harmony with
                                          up and downs of sweet voices
                                                   hearers enjoy well...

Misquote me now,
I meant this,
you understood that,
and told them,
a mix of this and that,
two who heard you,
understood as they could,
they spread various variants,
of this and that,
by the time is was layer three,
hearers had added theirs,hers and his,
to originally floating this and that,
soon it gained space,
and ended up quite distorted,
on the front page....

Thick clouds of unanswered questions 
eclipse the clear light thought to be seen.
Bewildered by election commentary again,
our ears quit as media opine.
Hearers' lack of response yields understanding,
'twas a vacant struggle just to be heard.
Hardened clay won't remold without action.
Such a war of words ends with mere tolerance.

It's such a thrill to hear the trill
Of birds up in the trees.
The notes just spill from every bill
In melodies to please.

With every frill the backyards fill,
A concert most delightful.
Their innate skill means hearers will
Perk up at every biteful.

We know the drill - they'll sing until
They stop; it isn't for us.
Then all is still and we would kill
To hear just one more chorus....

Dusting off myself like a book
Drawn from a case of others.

Who will I be today?
Shall my cover be an athlete
- as I run to win the prize ?

Or shall my cover be a musician
- as I quit my other profession to 
  engulf my hearers with sound from
  my heart plucked.

Even better, my cover be myself
- as I attempt to beacon me
Though it is but a trifle to some
It seems to beat all the other covers combined....

Whenever programs are cultural,
Zatu's thin voice richly cultural,
All his speech pauses the junctural:
Not what hearers might term The Natural...

But should it not be unnatural:
Sessions with The Supernatural?
Zatu's clear words soon esoteric,
Strange attacks by The Enteric
Bla - Bla - Bla: a final Uric
Prayer for oil-wells with derrick...

After culture Thin Voice is back:
The Guttural he starts to lack!...

A sunken face on all sides pale,
As the owner’s head keep supporting a pail,
Then, to the also saddled younger,
He flung a suffocating order:
That he his own suppressive load take over,
And if he so wished bear it forever,
But must not any bitter tale,
Dare to their daddy tell,
About a sudden disgraceful inability,
Or a shifted responsibility,
As all hearers would judge it disguised hostility,
And to him ascribe lesser agility....

Delicate hands sweep over the strings
Stirring chords and melodies meet,
The harpist gently plunks and pings
Producing music soft and sweet.
She does not smile, concentrating
On the nuances of each crescendo,
Tenor of the performance elevating
Each measure a startling innuendo.
The climax brings a stirring rush
Exhilarating orchestral responses
As over the audience falls a hush
The music its hearers ensconces.

Listen to poem:

The hummingbird brings pure delight,
to bright garden flowers in bloom,
as it zooms in to sip its prize.

We adore your elegant flight,
your bright iridescent costume
your hovering, such a surprise!

The humming buzzing wings excites
hearers to sing along in tune,
in the aura of clear blue skies.

It brings, a lovely humming sight
to savor, in nature's sun room,
among the buds, burst at sunrise.

Your floating flight in suspension
demands everyone's attention....
