Caught, Trapped

jangling nerves... tense, taut...
  darting to and fro… caught... trapped
     whimpering feebly...

The brave gunman licks his lips...
  duck soup... easy prey... unarmed

Rain Jewels

no designed gem creation gathers my stunned elation like earth's jangling flirtation of dazzling rain drops forming on a green leaf foundation - a pertly dancing sensation garners my soul's ovation

The Bells

The Bells 

The bells,
The gels.

All’s well,
I tell.

The swell,
Can fell.

Golden,
Bolden.

Mega,
Sound rah.

Jingling,
Jangling.

Hear joy,
Ahoy!

Ding dong,
Belong.

Fire warmth,
By stealth.

It Is May

the wind howls and whirls eastward of the pier's fence anchor chains jangling May has come around the thick, surrounding drizzle continues to rain under blazing sun yesterday's raindrops dried up the cracks look larger

Breakdown Lane

Quiet my jangling head
[marbles set loose in a drain pipe]

Silence churning doubts
[acid bath of corrosive thought]

Calm my rasping breath
[jagged edges of restricted output]

Cease excessive activity
[upanddown the spiral staircase]

Steady my stricken hands
[pounding pegs into nonexistent holes]

Undo me.

The Day Before

Why did I not listen
to my jangling nerves
the day before?

Why did I ignore
the sensation of
tips of fingers on fire
the day before?

Why did I not slip off
my rose-tinted glasses
to see what really
lay ahead of me
the day before?

My body and mind
were screaming at me
"DON'T DO IT!!"
the day before
I wed.

The Bug Carousel

Henry picked a ladybug;
Hadley chose a fly.
Mine was striped but not a bug
I could identify.

Up and down and round and round,
With music jangling on,
We rode the carousel until
The time we had was gone.

Grandpa took the photos;
Nana thought up rhymes
And had to ride, on different bugs,
With Hadley two more times.

Luau Memories

Frozen flower punch
Hibiscus blossoms for your ears
Luau skirts and fire rings
Streamers hanging in the air
Cocktails soaked in pineapples
Roasting pit to coals
Anklets jangling on your feet
Ambrosia mint in bowls
Smiles to pass with every song
Laughter jewels the moon
Eating the afternoon away
with a Polynesian spoon~

A Baby Is a Bundle

A baby is a bundle of jangling receptors
    a limb-wiggling curiosity machine
  Equipped to record and retain every sensation
    with nodes and neurons labyrinthine

  We watch her nap and feed
    pray she gets the sleep she needs
  While deep inside her, a learning explosion
    moves mighty mountains, fills vast oceans

Mystic Mind Moaning

mystic mind moaning
voluptuous veins vying
hoisted heats hankering
squeezing salient sanity
girding gaunt ice
veiled by vice

hollow joints jangling
eerie echo smirking
felon fun flickering

drooling darkness dances
drooping over vices;
salient silhouettes sketches

on and on
smeared space gnawl.

In Stars Above

In stars above our secrets hang—
Our naked past unspoken of
Veiled words that the talking drums bang
In stars above

Silent choirs delight our chain gang
Even sun yolks; friendly folks shove
And shout below, still mercies sang

Contentment rests as a sweet dove
On shoulders shattered so, they rang
Minced bones jangling, but God does love
In stars above

Everybody Owns An Office

Everybody owns an office,
Though not already swiveling its chair;
Everybody, custodian of some promise,
To think differently, simply unfair.

The yet-to -be jangling -the keys to -it
Isn't to be dismissed as unfit
Between Mr. Dalton and Lady Eunice,
All repositories of some gift
Before their last breaths have it surface
If not stupendously, more than a bit.

Cacophony

Breaking, bashing, creaking, crashing 
Pandemonic pounding pain
Reverberating bone to brain
Slamming, smashing, thrumming, thrashing
Mechanical chaotic grate
Echoing; can't concentrate

Scraping, scarring, jangling jarring
Bastard, broken beat becomes
Endless, dreadful demon drums
Maiming, marring, ringing, roaring 
Blaring banging babel beats
Repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats

Greenery Wraps

In the shade, I shrivel in flowering cactus crafting sloppy verse below the scraggly exhausted moon warm reverberations of love originating in the Jade Garden nerves jangling in my true being the magnificent encounter of how to melt this iron reluctance dreams can feel most real than actual life every day as I unseal my eyes.

Silver and Gold Bells

* ** ** ** ** ~ Silver bells Rising in pitch Rhyming jingles Golden bells chime Timing enchantment Approving its Ring-a- ling Embellishing the reindeer's harness Flight over whimsical night sky performing Indulging Santa’s approval of their good luck Jingling, chiming, jangling, chiming in unison * Silver, Gold * Bells *

The Name's Illness, Mental Illness

The faceless name of stigma
with more eyes than not
go side steps and looks
there, media begot

Whose singing and slur
with stick and with stone
the backhanded harm
confiding to home

With strength that’s locked up
minds reeling to shout
the jangling of keys
to let that strength out

It’s a tentative stride
walking into the frame
those keys are our tools
to win back our name

No Peace

Incessant wailing and slamming doors,
Horrid trudging on the floors,
You think this phases me in the least?
No more, for I get no peace.

Messing about with jangling locks
Proceeded by rapid knocks,
Though the noises usually do quiesce
Quiet can’t contain this beast.

Still, no matter what I say
Not all noise will rue the day,
For when the melody fails to cease
I do not feel any need for peace.

Watching

Watching the window
Watching carefully
Waiting for those feet
Familiar feet
Pattering near door
Standing wistfully
Waiting for those jeans
Familiar jeans
Hands stuck in pockets
Keys jangling inside
Waiting for that shirt
Familiar shirt
Rain soaked on shoulders
Fancy patterned front
Waiting for that hair
Familiar hair
Tousled and unkempt
Moving in closer
Waiting for my dear
To give me a kiss

Mad Marvin

Paisley bow-tie
  orange socks
polka-dot knickers
  suspenders dangling

Crazy Marvin's
  testing 'wonder-drugs'
to get his bank
  account jangling

Clouds of smoke
  puffs of steam
strange whistles
  bells jangling

Delirious, dizzy
  all in a tizzy
Marvin's predictably
  mangling

A formula for
  the tutti-frutti, raspberry
bubble-gum serum
  he's angling

To shove down
  my throat ~
Help me!
  I'm strangling

Moment of Release

This kite electric
tangled in the power lines
tattered silk like paper skins
of dyed and colored onion rinds
With salty satin stains
flapping in the ocean air
it once held tight a child's hand
tingling knuckles white and bare
Updraft caught and carried
jangling raw up on the wires
electric now ungrounded
white heat lightning fuel tipped fires
Now it begs release
from the metal to the sky
With my own eyes as witness
sparks reach out to catch it fly.

House of Horror

Twisted and broken my bones be a jangling. 

Crying and screaming for my body be a hanging 

 Cheers and a chuckling as the klan be a sanging

Music to his ears as the echoes be a ranging

 So deep was the South

So cozy was the house

Im cold in the grave

Just a boy for me to save

He was buried and drowned in that cave 

Animal on his back ,is what they engraved 

If grownups could only behave

I never whistled at her mister but I told you I waved.
