pattering off worn sidewalks
An overcoming calm...

on the colored leaves...

Pattering on ground and pane
Not yet mid Winter....

crouching for shelter
from pattering rain, I sat -

SNOWY DECEMBER

hearth fire pops    crackles
a pattering on the roof
the gadzillion stars...

The pattering rain
bliss to the mutual barter
pit-a-pat is gone

darkness
rain pattering
the swish of passing cars
the hush of leaves rustling outside
stillness...

Born poor
Peers apart
Mocked by many,
Self discovery 
Set me apart
Pattering feet
Battling for crumbs
Idea rules the world...

A worrying sound
rain at party
outdoors...
a comforting sound
pattering rain
on the roof...
 Jubilan blissful sound
falling rain
over field
sown... !...

A pale grey sky
lush green forest
the rain falls soft and fast
pattering on leaves and rocks
birdsong echoes sweetly
the air is cool and light
peaceful, timeless
sanctuary

I have heard them before,
and I'll hear them again,
as I sit in the car,
in the pattering rain

You have heard them as well,
I am willing to bet,
the words that I wait for,
"Are we nearly there yet?"...

Traced backwards through dreams gone—
Saw a cobblestone path creasing palm of land
Slowly, images ripened beneath memory’s dawn
Faded, pattering feet stroking stone into sand.

NOTICE: I'd like hard-core critiques, please!...

rain pattering, fogging on the window, 
musing on a gray day.
my soul swimming in mud, dropped
left to harden
when the sun shines.

rocks have the souls
abandoned by tired
seekers and wanderers without
a place to hold to 
themselves....

The rhythm of a bird’s wing flapping,
The whine of a baby crying,
The melody of crickets chirping,
The gaggling of geese honking,
The rip-roaring of thunder drumming,
The pitter of rain pattering,
Are all symphonic sounds,
Of Mother Nature trumpeting....

days spent, the pitter patter of my heart beating faster.
Our love, my love, i thought it was real.
Urs was just fake.
Everytime you came on, it beat and flip flopped.
But now you tell me, you've asked your ex back out.
My pitter pattering heart died out....

Enchanted mermaid, lyrical blues
How my heart sings for you
Under turquoise moon.

Was it written or unwritten, the truth?
About us, where we might go
Your pattering heart springs wild
For the world to shed

Whether distance or time, I
cannot shake your masterpiece
From my head...

The early spring rain pounds the earth
washing sleep from the eye of dawn
conducting percussive rebirth.
The early spring rain pounds the earth
bringing the pattering of mirth
as awakened the violets yawn.
The early spring rain pounds the earth
washing sleep from the eye of dawn....

Spirals of trails from wandering snails,
Dapples of white and pink petals,
Imprints of pattering puppy paws
Adorned the path that we walked.

The art was most masterful on the dark canvas;
Patterns of nature installed.


Line: The art was most masterful on the dark canvas.

Ocean waves gently brushing the sand
Wind whistling through an old window
Sparrows in bushes chattering away
Leaves rustling in the breeze
Soft pattering of evening rain
Babbling brooks
A water fall


There's nothing like listening to the calming sounds of nature to soothe a stressed soul...

Tired of the humdrum crackle castle-
Yet wired to unsung lungs
Full of gravity
And the prowess to speak
As we see, the world changes
In a hour glass

Equipment retooled, ideas emerge
History resurges in pattering waves
We are more than what we seem
This life has hidden dimensions
Beyond the routine...

Hills weeping

Streets and sex litter 

With echoes of anxieties

As pattering feet taking solace 

In their shrines

The second coming...

Oceans of nightmares garrison my iris,

Waiting for his coming, 

With a bottle of hallucination,

I saw his coming...

My name is Prophet Harold...

My brain is awake even when I’m not.
My thoughts fly with memories sought.
Like an old-fashioned machine,
My thoughts are cranked out unseen.
Thoughts are birds upon my brain!
They drip, drop, pattering like rain.
Thoughts are sticky and stay stuck like glue.
Thinking is such a glorious thing to be able to do....

Stars glow in the sky
wind blows like a gentle sigh
all is safe all is sound
raindrops are pitter pattering on the ground
inside a child dreams
mother hums while sewing seems
fathers snores echo through the house
in the wall pops out a little gray mouse
picture perfect the way it should be
thinks an angle gaurding from a near by tree...

From the grey-leaved tree 
Even our giant Iroko 
The eaglets with hopeful wings 
Flying & pattering with their wings 
Drumming like the drums of the jungle 
Rhyming with an eclipse of their times
– O, these motets
Of disjointed hours! –
The birds fly away over our heads,
From a forest of omen, with wings 
Looking like an eagle’s wings!...
