Raindrops falling down
Splattering against tin roof
Sleep comes easily...

the gloom splattering
the morning sculpting the void
the life from the death...

In a warm meadow
Dripping, stroking, splattering
With passion he paints

splattering raindrops
hucksters peddling their wares
gray calling clouds

Aren't you comforted 
By the amazing thought
That elephants can't fly
When drops of birdshit fall
Splattering the windshield of your car?...

Down the hill into the meadow
Beside the lands long fallow
Between not a few windows
Splashing, splattering i am now
Passing among the willows
To a place no one knows...

Colors are flying
The yellows the greens
Colors are splattering
The reds the blues
The white it's dyeing
The purples the pinks
Looks quite flattering!
The colors the hues!...

My bathroom is pink
Hair dye on my sink
In the bath tub too
Punky color, Burmese blue
My towel is a mess
Hair dye on a dress
Burmese blue on a wall
Splattering hair dye down the hall...

Pattern Is Like Light in a Lantern

What you learned to find in lantern,
Was a light that has proven pattern;
Very distinct;
Not extinct;
So straight and never splattering.

Men shooting,
bullets flying,
people sheltering,
Ground exploding,
people soreing,
blood splattering,
body burying,
letter sending,
familys crying,
war ending,
people forgetting.

Tools gathering,
Hunters searching,
Moving slowly,
Scanning everywhere,
Animal sighted,
Silently approaching,
Bolas throwing,
Spears ripping,
Blood splattering,
Animal dead,
Men dragging,
Meat cooking,
Men feasting,
Men sleeping.

The rain drops sporadically
hitting every pain of glass 
till all is wet to touch 
the rain pours down deeply now
 splattering up on the grass 
till it's too much 
the rain runs a steady stream along the driveway crease washing away the leaves of winter's past 
filling the drain...

re post inspired by my latest contest

cHaoTiC mOTioN a POLLOCK EKPHRASIS

Flinging, splattering,dripping drop..by..drop
Unaware of the present,random spontaneity
in liquid flowing paint.
Motion made visible,memories
arrested in space,the painting 
lives a life of its own in pure
harmony of easy give and take....

the rain drops spuratically
hitting every pane of glass
till all is wet to touch
the rain pours deeper now
splattering upon the grass
till it's too much
the rain a steady stream along the driveway crease
filling the drain
washing away the leaves of winter past
how many tears can angels cry over the world's mass?...

Black is the color of the stormy clouds
Pressing heavy against the pale sky.
White is the color of the flashing lightening
Ripping apart the surrounding clouds.
Clear and colorless are the raindrops
Splattering on the cold earth below.
Grey is the color of the air
Thick and frigid encasing it all.
These are my favorite days....

I count the hours

as I welcome the pelt of rain

harmoniously thumping and splattering against the

melancholic chug-chug screech of the train

10 hours

of not being assaulted by your words

hours devoid of your loudness

yet my heart is screaming, banging, drumming

10 piercing hours

time does not escape your noise...

The sky was dancing with pink clouds,
Like cotton candy floating around.

Lightbeams were splattering about,
For mighty green warriors to sprout.

The sun seems moving yet he stands still, Constraint from duties without his own will.

But every year or two, the moon sends a gentle smile,
Making light years seems like only just one mile....

Listen to poem:

He dabbles in this, dips his toes in that
Dithering with daubs, splattering dollops and spatters
Dilly-dallying, loitering lazily lackadaisical
Unable or unwilling to commit.
Half-hearted efforts lie half-baked, unfinished
Laying listless, languidly lolling and littering.
It's so annoying to see time wasted and fortuity fraught
But what can anyone watching do?...

The church was planted in a little green valley.
Facing a mountainside of solid granite.
With a splattering color of purple and red,
Freckled with yellows and browns. 
With pleasant shades of blue. 
That grew naturally into streaks.
Of marbled veins, stretching, and climbing,
It's way up and over the granite, 
moonlight peaks and flowing down,
into speckled trout creeks....

She scrunched her nose when she laughed
now she lies still
the overwarm water
splattering her skin
causing no change to the blue
everything inside
screaming she was in there
as we punched the one voice that let
the words she's gone
wanting to wrap a towel around
and dry her alive
leave the shower running
i want to drown the world
cause the one thing worth it
has made it......

Chasing , incandescent light
Crossing , narrow steep street
Purgation, the raison d'être
I shall see,  I shall see. 

(Eyes shut) 

Sluicing , the river ends
Splattering ,  the wisdom
Concealing, it's conscious
I shall hear,  I shall hear. 

(Ears shut)

Frantic , trees laugh
Rustling , seeking quite 
Collapsed , without a word 
I shall be,  I shall be. 

(Mouth shut)...

once, from high in the mountains
your song rained down on me
drops splattering my soul

I got lost in the fantasy, thoughts
of you tied with fragile spun dreams
bound by the depth of your love

unlacing the ribbon, you look within
with tenderness, you take my heart
uniting it with yours

now, this love blooms, flowers strewn
nourished by the rain and sun
in the valley inside...

I love a dark horse in the running,
All feisty with so much cunning 

It's funny what they say you can't do
Simply put, they have no clue 

Wonderful when it is a shock
With a splattering of talent and luck 

Everyone doubts your skill,
They have no idea of your will

Listen to the message they send,
They will be standing at the end

Color that desire stunning 
I love a dark horse in the running...

Hails upon stormier tempestuous

sea surges, ascending, mountainous

waves crashing, splattering, appallingly

Strikes against lighthouse's sentinelling

Beam glowing, rebuffing, unremitting

High tidal's signature magnificence

To prevent maritime catastrophes

Whence before radar-scope inventiveness
