Get over it
The train horn is shrieking.
All aboard; it's time to move on,
Begone...

You are one of a million;
Ignore their voices
When you find your true calling
You are one in a million...

The lady inside is shrieking
As hard as she tries
When she shuts her eyes
All she can see is Trump streaking...

wanted to hang labels on her
she punched her way out
kicking and shrieking her truth
we marveled at her sense of self...

Passion dances
On melancholy's nostalgic
Illusions...
Bruised,
Love surrenders, shrieking laughter,
Under life's raging reality...
Then silence!

as the school bell rings
children are shrieking with glee

    recess is over.

          a sudden rain of bombs leaves
          the playground deathly silent...

Excited happy coyote yips! Howling.
Yips come faster now.
They have something cornered.
Rabbit? Turkey? Chicken? Cat?
A yipping frenzy. 
Dinner begins shrieking...

whistling gusts, shrieking
bitter, callous secrets tell ~

With broken hand a man was screaming
As loud and shrill as a pig squealing
Said a man from behind,
“You only broke your hand
He lost his head and still not shrieking”...

when I go into something kicking and screaming, 
shrieking even, 

it is usually God's plan
and it always works out better 
than any plan I ever had....

Striving to live
I put my truth into myself
attempting to pull me back out

Alas I am kicking and shrieking
for body is in pain-like stupor

All energy is for survival today....

My crumbling heart is in YOUR hands.
Tumbling
into the land of the dead.
Alone now
with just the shrieking in my head.
Everything
Everything I've ever known
like glass
Shattered....

she had that contented look
you only see every decade or so

the look of a woman who has gnawed the leg
off of a shrieking tiger

we backed off quickly
and without comment

fearing her next move...

thunder-crack  boomed -
the potent electricity
shrieking inside me
every neuron firing up
danger in one thunder-crack

You talk, but all I hear is you have nothing to say.
I'm just trying to make myself into a person I don't hate.
Fumbling for a character when all the world's a stage.
Shrieking at an audience deafened by cliches....

joker quips thought
brings chuckle snorts
titter, giggles
snicker, wiggles

belly shaking
body quaking
roll on the floor
shrieking laughter

This is the special joyous day I had been seeking
An excited square dancer in pink checked gingham
Twirling her merry-go-round of white lacy petticoats
Delicious funnelcake magic dusted with warm sugar
Shrieking in the happy manner of a carnival ride...

the strong shrieking wind
a song for trees to sing to
with a whistling noise

the birds have scattered
the song more dominant 
with the wind howling 

the influx of rain 
inherent, a dripping sound 
a new tune are played

Ghastly voices I hear in the night shrieking
Hallowed death unexpected has struck my friend
Only a month hence we were speaking,
     Who knew soon would come a bitter end
     Someday, he and I need no longer pretend.

cat
         domestic, sleek
 licking, prowling, purring
  feline, kitten, quiet, prey
nibbling, hiding, shrieking
             timid, tiny
                mouse
