Short Prattling Poems

A prattling tongue,
Is like a heat seeking missile,
Or ordnance of mass destruction,

It indiscriminately destroys,
And disables, with harsh words,

Those targets, who to it,
Are of no consequence;

Posters painted
By law tainted
Rosaries rattling
Prayers prattling
Police swoop
Spirits droop
Whisked away
Because they pray
For children unborn
Innocent lives shorn
In abortion clinics
Cold cash for callous cynics...

Perhaps

that love flies by on silver wings
what hurts the most is how it stings
but rise we must for love it brings
us lonely little ding a lings...
supporting words are ever sought
prattling of some brighter thought
round and round it rattles till
the keyboard forms and words instil
love you mate and I ain’t bent
 you be a shiela heaven sent

I raise my glass and pen to give a toast,
(For the all random thoughts that fill your sheets?)
No man, for poets that inspire me most,
Like Bryon, Whitman, Shelley, Keats and Yeats.
(Right! Your headache is driving you to boast.)
Long live also the poets labeled beats!
(Those prattling hacks make it even worse!)
Quiet! I say, or I’ll put you to verse!

Spooks were making love their bones were clattering
                       Fresh in after death sex they were a prattling
                                 They missed the first session
                                   How to spook the passion
                 And slipped to their graves skulls down saber rattling
