Plops into a pool of fresh

sunny day
plops in pasture

first, fat plops of rain

      damp earth scent across the plain

      wet ants can't complain...

  Just when I'm sure I'm all poem'd out
                                           ~ my pen plops a new poem in...

The heavy weight of wet leaves
plops on pansy’s heads not mine 
washing pollen from the air
lover’s bedding wet!...

From anywhere out of the blue
Comes a rifle shot of white glue
With little fanfair
It plops in your hair
As another pigeon counts, "Coo!"...

mourning dove's coo croon

punctuates tropical dawn

frog plops rain puddle

Crystal clarity caught in drops

water is pristine and

genteel,

as it gurgles, babbles and plops

flowing over the land

with zeal.

Nose dripping's continue, a catcher I've got
Seems like days since the snow began to drop
I'll weather the blow
No matter how much snow
Wear a condom on my nose to catch the plops...

Raindrops

Plip plops

     I feel it

Birds sing

Bells ring

     I hear it

Moon glows

On meadows

     I see it

Ideas grow

Words flow

     I read it

Voices silent

Echoes quiet

     I listen...

sun
                summer shower
             dark pregnant cloud
        large plops, rainbow forms
              short sharp burst
               heavy downpour
                        rain

No calm platitudes, no testament ,
only open discussion 
with emotion, the ghost
of wounds so deep 
that colour bleeds implicit,
red for the dying weapon
of anger, yellow for the joy
that lolling plops as often 
as a midnight sun.

Let us gaze the world asunder....

In our fair town lives a feller named Hank.



   He's known as the village drunk to be frank!



      His guts' so huge its bizarre!



         He plops his gut on the bar,



            Sayin' "Fill 'er up, boys! Top off my tank!"

grey clouds
like shrouds

hover
cover

wind speed
like steed

fright'ning
lightning

thunder
sunder

cryin'
welkin

raindrops
fat plops

muddles
puddles

pit pat
rhythm that

awakes
damp shakes

earth drenched
thirst quenched

God's free
AC

The plops of fat drops on wet leaves
Light rippling applause of the rain
The strengthening breeze in the trees 
Like the rush of an oncoming train

                                                                                                                      Farley Mount, 10th December 2022

positivity in voice,
mannerism, mollycoddling
may bring tidings
up from down-in-the-mouth
to a weak grin
     if that doesn’t work
perhaps, a little gin,
olive plops,
fizz fizz,
a little sun, a little breeze
wings flapping…
     just
omitting, oblivious,
staring straight ahead
     tethered
to fair-weathered feathers,
free-and-queasiness of tears

I shoot from the hip, and it kicks a bit
it's not a bruise that will never heal
I line my worries up on the wall
pick them off, watch them fall

they shine bright, in afternoon light
lined up for me to see
as soon as one drops, another plops
right in the middle of me

taking aim, not laying blame
practice usually makes perfect
I'll give another try, till I get it right
and I can put this nine away...

An acorn plopped down from a tree
And hit the deck right next to me.
It joined some others waiting for
A stronger breeze to drop some more.

It almost bounced upon my head;
I'm glad it found the porch instead
For it came down with so much force 
I'd have a bump, but it changed course.

The squirrels must be set to dash
And round these up for winter's stash.
I sit outside, relax and wait
As acorn plops reverberate....

Sitting in the backseat ~ yackety
she drives like
    crackers ~ wackedy
speeding to the movies?
we can’t be late?
Driver ahead asleep at the
    light
panic stop she makes ~ 5 seatbelts lock
But the 
backlash! ........... flying wig
plops smack in my lap . . . .
Screaming fits of laughter all around.
Late to the movies after all,
    not nearly as good.




Dedicated to my friend, Kate.

POP TARTS AT DENNY’S

the midnight shift counter
truckers load padded stools
facing pretty young waitress

behind one’s back a pop tart
dressed in halloween gown
drunk with gusto she plops
and out flies all her découtage

the truckers didn’t enjoy
the peep show in the night
their eyes sipping coffee

the boyfriend’s her pull up bra
before she gets ogled by all
only the waitress witnessed
the horror of the midnight hour
