The doors open
The year has begun

Premium Member Martha's Mumbles

Martha made apple crumble
As she took it from the oven she stumbled
Martha was mad
I am so glad
No-one could hear what she mumbled

Don Corleone

Don Corleone
stood alone
a mafia boss
that none would cross

Sometimes bumbles
often mumbles
his diction at odds
with cotton wads

Bubbling Brook

Bubbling brook 
mumbles beautiful poetry to the wind, 
And as curious birch trees 
lean in to hear its mutterings,
a swiftly running stream sings.

Confessions In the Rain

impassioned sky mumbles tasteless rain
a soaking measly carapace collects  muddy remains
weather overbears a confessing cloud.

Curative Beauty

He
mumbles
cryptic terms
to spring a love
he has camouflaged
in the shelf of his heart
Though dust has cumulated
He managed to pave his way
to attain her secluded fortress
His gestures decrypted what words failed.

Premium Member A Reverie of Thought

mumbles
   of the infinite
lyrical
    rows of light
    in flat spaces,
a visual
     sensation
the soul
   floating freely
vestiges
free of 
      stress
to
     contemplate
     discern
and..
   ..delight

Premium Member Sleep Talking

Slumber mumbles, grumbles, banters, blubbers and blands
Loose lips leak trailers from secret dreams, slumber shorts
Blurted out with candid shout, trembling feet and hands.
Only the hearer knows what said when sleeper talks.

Premium Member A Mean Old Grouch

Jack doesn't smile 24/7, sometimes he's a mean old grouch So Cathie says, “till you're happy again, go sit on the couch!” He mumbles and sneers A spoiled brat he appears Till a dirty big grin reappears on his snout

ghosts in my walls

“do it”
“ no one would notice”
“it’s just a scratch”
“ your overacting”
“superficial”
whispers, mumbles 
when i’m alone
they never leave
never will
so i will not sleep
never, never will
when i can hear the ghosts in my walls.

Out of Your Mind

A light shines bright into the window I can not see
A voice mumbles something like come with me
I pulled the covers over my head then I took a peek
I looked back at my husband who was fast asleep
So I whispered come back later ready he will be

In Front Of The Class

In front of the class
she obediently stands
her fingers locked in cradled hands
with downcast eyes and trembling lip
she leaks a tear that sears her soul
then meekly voiced 
and barley heard 
she mumbles what she thinks the teacher wants.

Premium Member Cold, Hot and Bothered

Cold Monday morning
 He mumbles under his breath
 Car engine stutters
 As he turns the key in vain
 Temperature is rising.

Drunken Man

Bags of chips and empty cans,
the puddles of the drunken man.
Falling down cause he can't stand,
the stumbles of the drunken man.
Shange the shannels nothingzz on,
the mumbles of the drunken man.
He don't know nor understand,
because he's just a drunken man.

At Night

A stranger that I know 
lies deeply in leafy mold. 
We speak by mumbles in opportune nights. 
He is always looking away 
to some precious mystery
but I can't follow his eye. 
He surprises me in many ways-
pulling those strings, 
a pretense of wings, 
unknowable things.

A Day In the Park

He see's kids 
running
jumping
playing
but He, He sits there
still,
surveying
"This is the future"
He says to himself
As one kid goes down the slide
like a tiny little elf
"Protect this generation" He mumbles
as He leaves from under the tree
for the future is now,

Agree?

Late Once More

Late once more,
with feet unsure,
he stumbles.
Screams at his wife,
in a life full of strife,
and she crumbles.
Far from his words,
thinking in blurs,
he mumbles.
It's a game not to fall.
Her love is the ball
that he fumbles.
He glares with glazed eyes -
A slave to his vice.

The Bag Lady

She humbles herself
With her lack of ambition
A stain of sadness
In all that she wears

She mumbles through life
With words of conviction
banished from gladness
by guilt that she bears

She crumbles inside
From a need for contrition
A martyr for madness
she sits and she stares

Storms

Clear blue skies turn to dark storm clouds.
Fire burns, thunder rumbles. 
Her mind full of cruel mumbles. She cries,
but her eyes remain dry. 
Fire, thunder, death, and blood. She wants to so bad,
but something holds her back.
She grows weaker.
Death's strong grip graps hold tighter.

I Guard My Heart

I guard my heart;
By love otherwise it will quench !
Guard my spirit by words
Otherwise it will wither!

Inside me germinate 
the seeds of longing 
Whenever emerged,
love blooming lilies!

Guard me by low mumbles  
By generous lull poetry,
touches heart by sleepy kiss on the lips.

Gleam In Ale

gleam in ale,
a glass of dark brew happiness
served on a marble bar ;
frothy inebriant, 
a tickle to his moustache,
grown over moon's pass
juggled with solar heat 
across the heaven's street, blue sky.

gleam in ale,
a froth for drowning
mumbles and grumbles
of life
a glass of dark brew happiness.

Said By a Girl

my heart weeps in your wake
for only yours to forever take
my tears they fall like rain
hoping to mend the pain
my life is shaken by your departure
only to make it just a bit harder
my thoughts are of you
thinking what did i ever do
my words are nothing in your world
just rambling mumbles said by a girl
