the thunder rattled my sleep -
                 vibrating windows and walls, eyes shut tight

rain rattled on the roof presented
releasing tiny bubbles of tin drummed
rampant wind rehearsed and echoed
reverberating in the souls of nature and people

Premium Member A Scene In the Rain

Rain came
Hearts scared 
People fled
A car sped 
Water splashed
Round the corner 
An umbrella sprang up
A mother hugged 
A child giggled
The rain rattled

Rolie Polie Olie’s Rambunctious Roundup

Rolie Polie Olie rolled ‘round the room,
Repairing rickety robots with a boom.
With Zowie zipping,
And screws slipping,
The ruckus rattled the rosy red vacuum!

Premium Member Juno

Juno has dropped her Jupe for Janus—
Moves unforeseen by Nostradamus.
Jupiter's lightning rage
Rattled Juno's last cage,
But Janus is twice as dangerous.

Premium Member 'It Mattered'

They say it didn't matter But it rocked your core You walked on shaky ground Your feet were in those shoes So if it rattled you, it mattered

Premium Member Rattling the Rattler

a baby hit a rattler with its rattle
the rattler was startled so it rattled
the babe loaded a diaper
and perfumed the pit viper
that's how a babe beat a snake in battle

Premium Member Punch Drunk

He should never have stepped in the ring

Because he had no talent to bring 

Even though he battled

His brain just got rattled 

And now he can't remember a thing

Slipping

there is this
continuous ruckus
surrounding us-
broken balance
faltered- permanently
startled- rattled
chandelier spirit-
the epic unforgettable
lyric that keeps
slipping my mind

Premium Member On the Edge

The street light shined dimly
Its shallow shadows slithered
The icy covering now bearded
In a five o’clock shadow

His hand faltered
The easel rattled
His brush refocused
On the edge of the wind

Premium Member Contemplations


In my head are dark contemplations
Rattled by silent reflection
I fear my introspection
And my own damnation
Scrawled on concert halls
And ghost town malls
See my eyes
Death lies
...Why?
Form: Nonet

And Then Make Love

I’m glad of April rain,
Keeping us indoors
Inside our rattled window pane
While the night storm pours.

The rain’s a winding sheet,
Shrouding up the night;
Inside we drink and talk and eat
By a fire built bright.

Insomnia

Teeming pools of spawning thoughts
   Irrational coiling tendrils and knots
     Restless limbs and rattled brain
        Exquisite need for some slight refrain
          Deprived of basal corporal need...

...I am so...tired.

Desert Song

Nestled in Nature,
and rattled by brush.
Surly looming Shadows
Adorned in Fire
Crested by the Sky.

Scarred by thick Dirt
and Wilting Plants.
Wandering Cries,
Stifling Heat.

Desolate
Expanses
Perservere.

Drifting;
Lost Souls

Zephyr

I was raised in sea of defiance
and yet my Zephyr has lost its realm
I am ungrained in all colour
lost in a rattled cage
and ageing fast

Speaking in tounges
I have seen your everyday jamboree
Although the seasons were roughshod
did we not heed too

Ageing

I was raised in sea of defiance
and my tired Zephyr has lost its sound
I have lost all colour
I am lost in a rattled cage
and ageing fast

Speaking in tounges
I have seen your everyday jamboree
Although the seasons were roughshod
did we not bleed too
age

Ooh That Hurt

Ooh that hurt!
Splatted face-first in the dirt,
Oh good grief!
I think I've rattled my teeth.
I thought I could out run that team,
Cause I'm the fastest thing you've ever seen,
The reason I couldn't get loose,
Was I forgot to tie my shoes.

Premium Member Snake Versus Crow

SNAKE VERSUS CROW


the tail rattled.    with its black heart

and glaring attention, the crow

pecks.     road burn on the underbelly

as the snake slithers down

to the creek.       crow can occupy

as sentry to my property,     presently.

Comatosed

Was he comatosed
Or had he been kittytosed
When he sleeps the most.

We just had a Carolina loud sonic boom. 
Doors and windows rattled. Our cat
never moved a muscle or even tried
to tussle. If you were kittytosed,
would you want another piece of
toast. Jim Horn

Premium Member Toothless

she drew out spittle and split hair on her tongue in suspense

an audience pitched their bets as snot and mucus went dense

as she rattled nails tightened her fangs closed in on her foes

she only licked her wounds with phlegm to soften the blows

Sweat Was Born

rain swung to the tune of
the western wind embalming
the thirst of the angry earth
quenched releasing opening
the pores, sweat was born
the drumming of the delicate
heart rattled the roof
of the sensitive soul
presenting, tiny bubbles of
blood reverberated

Impact

She birthed me a star...
Her inner galaxy well travelled.

Seized by womb impact...
Silence - Rattled

Tone tormented yet blissful sigh...

Return to the source - yield rescue the cry...

Triumph this claim as we draw near...
Partake in this memory...

We both share.

Woodpecker

Machete jabs cycle through a staccato lied. The music is Jurassic, a tune rattled in the throat of a feathered lizard. It pecks out the genetic code of jackhammers. Stabs eardrums deep, a primal stirring of blood and sap. The forest echoes as time hammers on.
