Short Mouthing Poems

In half filled bowl
Goldfish circling and circling
Mouthing bubbles...

YOUTH

Mouthing a tunnel
of ringing memories
A young boy whistles...

mouthing thoughts offered
 thinking past memories droughts
 amnesia forgot

Bad mouthing
Imbecile ...
Get your facts right
Otherwise please
Take a hike!

She lies sleeping at my feet
eyes closed, outstretched legs 
twitching, mouthing small yips
and I wonder what she is chasing 
and if she ever catches it...

I'm glad fish
are making slithers
around mossy 
stones, mouthing
obscenities to
entities peering
in, giving them
the fin
and doing other
little jobs...

The Puppet
By: Tom
1/20/2021

“If it walks like a duck,
and quacks like a duck,
it’s a duck”.
&
After mouthing the right things,
he lets others pull his strings,
he’s a puppet.

At the express lane at the local supermarket
Don't try getting through with one over the limit
Dirty looks you'll get
And bad-mouthing I'll bet
They'll push you down and stomp on your spinach...

At the express lane in the local supermarket
Don't try getting through with one over the limit
Dirty looks you will get
And bad mouthing I'll bet
They'll push stuff on the floor and stomp on your spinach

When I look back 
  I don’t recognize myself

Was that me
  bad-mouthing my parents

Was I that mean
   Did I say that – to my sisters

Criticizing friends so cruelly
   always speaking foolishly

Who put that tongue in my mouth
   Was that me...

Mouthing an oath, she carried on
Milking the cow in cowshed grim.
She only wished she could be gone...
Mouthing an oath, she carried on.
Into the shed sun never shone.
Now milk was spilling over brim!

Mouthing an oath, she carried on
Milking the cow in cowshed grim.

Clouds rock up vengeful
mouthing off - ranting, raging
spitting bolts willy-nilly
But tantrum passes,
temper abates with mutters
as clouds roll on by, in sky.

Clouds rubbed, get charged up
like people pricked and prodded
build up static energy,
till the threshold reached,
out pops the lightning flashing,
thunder banging and crashing....

so the poem goes
along the nose
a proboscis bridging
along the ridge in
alphabets of aromas
mouthing wordy stomas
with stanza's scents
to write recompense
right between the eyes
seeing to a surprise
fleshing cheeky meter
poetic phrasing sweeter
'til lobed on ear and
lips whispered near in
recognizing expressions
facially i reckon

Trees are the catchers of lost human souls
Entangled in clinging wooden branches
Mouthing silent pleas to earthly passers

At nightfall peering toward magnetic stars
Hoping to freely roam the universe
Its magnificence drawing them upward

Wailing to reunite with a loved one 
From their previous earthly human realm
Longing for the eternal search for love...

Reaching through the blackness
Trying to find something to hold
When all I could feel
Was the harsh damp cold
Desperately trying to block out
The emotions that poison my soul
I lay slowly suffocating
Beneath the rubble of my broken dreams
As silent tears spill from my eyes
Mouthing hollow prayers with Vodka soaked lips
This echoless silence is driving me insane...

Your hands 
in my hands
soft yet firm
moving 
squeezing
stroking
insistent
demanding.
Speaking a
half-remembered 
language
to which 
I instantly respond.

Yet I draw back
at a line,
I can not cross.
Lips mouthing 
tender regrets
while our hands 
keep talking.

I remember clearly 
the ring
in your navel,
but the one 
in my pocket 
held us apart....

The nest of wires
so loosely tethered
at the base of control
suffers from rigidity
while hard-linked
to each portal of
infinity

until cracks snake
the foundation
like menacing grins,
all mirthlessly mouthing
infallible truth
behind certain
fallibility:

every age rises
before diminishing
to bury discovery
as treasure precious
within the driving
will of all forms
sentient....

Mellow meeting mouthing misty maze
 Creepy crawlies crafting crude craze
      Dazzle dreamy distant daze
       Feeling fumbling fond face
         Seek sweet solid space
          Troubling times trace
             Sense sweet sour
                  Hurl hours
                       Ours

Over solemn matters men brood.
Whoever does not clearly crude;
One is anxious to win a feud: 
The face of Jude facing The Rude
And I say: it’s the right mood;
The countenance of The Shrewd, 
For when it is shrewd follows food.

Over the life-changing I brood
As I wish to hear The Good;
Not like leaves shake where I’ve stood 
Or, soonest, start mouthing The Rude
And sorrow drowning in The Brewed....

there they sit
with their dreams
and fantasies
mouthing great
philosophies
narrating great tales
of imagined achievements,
revealing little nuggets
of despair couched
in a fatalism
of their own making.
Should I reveal myself
jolt them to the reality
of death
put an end to their charade

Or slither away 
in the susurration
of wind and grass
leaving them 
to their random ramblings
in their dotage?...

I'm waiting for election day
When all the hoopla goes away,

All the lies and all the drama.
You're not fooling this old gramma.

You are but puppets mouthing dirt,
Spewing garbage, foe to hurt.

I want to hear what you will do,
Not old re-hash.  Give me some new

Info if you want my vote.
More lies will to me denote

The choice is an unholy sin
For least revolting guy to win.


won one of the no. 4 spots...

He put his ear to her belly,
heard a milky cloud
gurgling like a water spigot,
the ankle-deep sounds of
red plasma and urine,
the murmur of mollusks
in mouthing waters;
succulent voices
pushed through narrow throats.

‘Love me’, she said,
‘make love to me
as I swell and sweat
into a woman you have never met’.

He said nothing
but did tickle
her glowing anus,
did tongue
her swollen,
blue in-between lips....

Take me away from myself 
where I can breathe 
no smoked refinery air, 
somewhere else. 

I cast a lonely wish 
to be someone else 
possessed of life 

it never materialised. 

I cry an empty shell, 
mouthing, moving in circles, 
decreasing as I radiate 
never to brush the shore. 

Let my sweat lie upon you 
one more secret time, 
sacrifice my heart, 

I court fulfilment. 

Turning blind eyes 
snaps me, breaks my heart, 
turning away 

I die....

A living word needs no other voice
than that of its own. Truth, articulates
a resonance-universe – though the ear 
hears only what it wants, a chamber of
both personal and foreign echoes.
The eyes and mouth often
myopic twos, mouth mouthing 
opposites from like sides, upper lip 
that can rise shaping wings, and drift, 
not always for kisses preparing, but the 
flight also a chance for the heart to lift
and follow – our greater nature one
to hearken and travel.......
