Sound now
play loud
play soft 
low key 
high key 
please me 
shock me
eyes cry
laugh loud
sing out
tune mad
tone deaf
don't care 
scream shout
sharp soft
sound off
sound on 
run round
up down
dance round
great time
crowd cheer
shout more
thank you

In My Heart Delights

I stand and stare as my children tick
  their message gifting time

The safe door open, movements alive
  their beats sound off in rhyme

All hands revolve to point the way
  and celebrate new life

While one calls out to adorn my wrist
  —and in my heart delights

Seductive Nature

The wind gust swept the ground with a rambunctious touch 
The sand blew angrily into a wide mist 
Whistling chimes sound off as they are struck abruptly by the breeze
Sounds  of splashing tickled the earlobe 
The water slapping up against the shore as it runs aground
Comforted by a blanket, a cover, a sheet...
in the bed of the earth's playground
Seductive Nature 
My mind is clear for once as I feel the temperature's touch


Far Side Sound Off

Eight men
One objective
Countouts holds the combat
In penalty for 2 minutes
Disqualification holds the
Combatants for 4 minutes
( they gotta get it in)
Mid way through four men
Will team for one score
That team to them divide
( they say it's the same song
Just the harmony is different)
Two teams no DQ
Two teams no countout
Team Challenge
Last two men
Winner takes all
Bankday Brawl
Trophy Series
Tally up the scores.

Premium Member Resounding Parade

early morning rain,
sound off insane...
  only rain,
a resounding parade,
frothing with power
for a few hours —
brought back the cold.
bleak sticks and gray stones,
wind and leafless trees again
colorless sky.
                   i may have to trade,
       once again,
thin shirt for warmer weather —
a sweatshirt or sweater.
  no snowmen
    smudging my window,
only twirling wet prints 
of birds, foxes, umbrellas.

Sound Off

We wear are days on our skin
Truth seeking pilgrims in the land of the grim
So long ago the winds rustle in,
Lost cities filled with neighborhood friends

We wake up to a day we try and defend
Useless wars we wage to the end
Betting on stars to the bitter end
Cosmic chapters and newest trends 

Hillside views and perfect spots
Mangled up bones and flowerpots
Surface allusion and sandy thoughts
To go on forever or just sound off......

Premium Member what is going on out there

Yowling and howling, snarling and snapping
Came in through a window when my husband was napping
It sounded like a sound off, I was sure a cat would be dead.
My own cat bounced in moments later, his fur stand-up red.

What is going on out there? I asked, for now I heard low growls.
The cats were ready to fight, as snappish as Turkish towels.
Fred dove head-first under the bed and stayed until it was over.
Rolling his eyes about it was my St Bernard named Rover.

More Than a Grain of Sense

riddle in quatrains

I smell like a movie or baseball game and
I sound like a jerky, mini-jack hammer.
Salty or sweet; I taste better with butter
Stop! Don’t touch me, until the hot wears off. 
 
Focus your ears, before you smell me burning
Firecrackers will sound "off" in the microwave.
I can taste fancy like cheese or caramel 
I'm hard at first touch; but there’s magic in heat.
