Short Spouting Poems

baby on the way 
snow drifts up to house spouting 
warm hospital bed...

Glimmering sparkles 
as sun hits spouting on house 
and I play in yard...

satin founts spouting 
thunderous anvils clanging
charged ions exploding...

Beneath snow's mantle

Frozen earth with spring conspire

Spouting giggling seeds!

One Matthew McGregory Hale
Was thought to resemble a whale.
I don't mean so large,
Nor shaped like a barge,
But spouting out words like a gale....

Grounding pounding wanna grab
Jousty jack wanna stab
Anger clutching his mind
Crack spouting nonsense
Idiotic ineffable reason
The conflict season..
Note.Nonsense makes no sense.....

/center>I can
go between the
Village scene such
as the horizon change
up plumage floral gardens
Spouting pots

He opens his small round mouth and words spout
The problem is he inserts his foot and not trout
His spouting isn't funny at all
He is headed for a big fall
Donald, the nation is tired of your tout     ...

Contrary to what I've been recently spouting
You can sometimes actually see this guy frowning
No one's always happy
Sometimes I can be ratty
Keep the baddies at bay by constantly clowning

Is that a bird?
My sister, who is on the phone, asks me.
I listen a bit harder.
Can you hear that? She asks. It’s a bird, right?
Uh-huh.
A bird I had not noticed until now
Spouting birdspeak that is suddenly obnoxiously loud and annoying....

a Page poet:)

your the one with the lyrical lips,
poetry spouting
a hip hop artist
ya.
you hit us with your moonsoon beats
Washing the Sahara floor
saving it from dry periods
Your the one who can spit............................


but sadly
I'm just a page poet:)...

The lemon drop child
looked at the world
through sherbet fountain eyes.
Her sour cherry lips
spouting black jack words,
whilst her mind was an
aniseed twist.

Her rhubarb and custard complexion
and curly wurly 
liquorice hair
Belied her treacle toffee soul
No love heart there....

With us always the spouting fools
What they do not know they must make up
Listen quietly and you can hear the gods laughing

Listen, I feel like saying something important
But it is all gone now and even I cannot make it up 
The gods quietly laughing so loud I can hear them...

Groping in the cavern,
I was badly in need of a lantern,
Bereft of vision,
I was without a mission,
A bat had battered on my hat,
And on my face had swat,
On many a hurdle did I stumble,
But what kept me going,
Were the fireflies of love
Which your heart had been ceaselessly spouting....

THE PYRAMID

That Night
At twilight
She swallowed
Her lips
And shook her…
O I soft drew 
The Eiffel Tour
reversing it
from the above
Like a capsized
Pyramid to
Hold all the
pains and the 
Spouting of 
The lost soul.
Let it bleed
Life goes on
After all!

Memory of a jumping boy
Of splashing run through puddle joy
Waving arms air clutching hands
Open mouth in chortled laughter
Spouting gurgling  words unknown
All before the age of two
So far to go so much to do
He takes the moment as his due
A memory for him to own
In darker days of after...

Trump moaned 'bout the curse of hard liquors
Was greeted by just childish snickers
     Whilst spouting his lies
     Left open his flies
And flashed the 'Fake News' his pink knickers

Staggering, you blast out  
of the landscape,
sea deep and laced with clues,
the strenuous flight of Bryozoan creatures,
their imprinted pasts forming a photo album of millennium as the ancient calm
overtakes me when
I touch your granite walls by your spouting river and feel
only the effortless 
smoothness of your skin....

Running around
Spouting our ideals 
"Everyone is wrong" 
Are none of us right?

Perception is the reality
But everyone wants to show
To us
How the world is

We can't all be right
We can't all be wrong

With everyone's opinion
Comes another's song

Influence to the point of
Indoctrination

The last time I checked
The human mind is on 
Vacation...

Air shares its delightful grace
  stroking, caressing every face.
Wind tickles crawling clouds
  Then breezes by whistling loud.
Fire jigs a spritely dance
  spouting quips with pops and 
  cracks.
Water gulps a bubbling brew
  then babbles back a trickling tune.
Earth gazes cooly at warm light
 and breathes the musk of days 
damp night.

Amid his intoxicated anger,
like an ebony volcanic haze - erupted;
insanity strikes, trust dissolves.
Quaking, as an army of strewn deluge 
spirals, smothering my silhouette.

Uniform flames electricity, sparks.
Everything emotionally swirling;
I beg him to pause, be silent,
Whilst my engorged tender form
throbs,
pounding, 
spouting evidence....

I don't suppose
the white hums of summer
will ever out strum the blues;

but here before me,
two colors mingle
in polite harmony-
spouting about
like versed chums
over black coffee

so why do I stand here,
all cockeyed
and bashful
in these careful shades of yellow,
mulling over red
and its poignant way 
of bruising my heart
a callous hue of indigo...

Ignore me
and know that I am grateful.
See me as a statue
and I'm content.
Leave me to my idyll:
I find more respect in solitude
than compliments.
I know more of love from silence
than from kisses.
I've learned more of human kindness 
from passing strangers
than from people
spouting mindless viewpoints
as though it were the word of God....

Chaos caught in a cage,
Rattling bars and spouting truth.

Innocence dressed in wolf skin,
Oh-so delicate and deceitful.

Cold stars and bright nights,
Appearances are seldom what they seem.

Footsteps on rice paper,
Boot prints on my skin.

True neutrality,
Take it or leave it.

The inspiration wrought by a simple ink pen,
What will your final choice be?...

I've never kissed a toad,
or lived a fairytale,
or seen a spouting whale.
I'm silent as a road,
or where Euphrates flowed
when Moses made the veil.

I've borne the greatest minds
the Father ever made;
each one with care was laid
where common folks could find
each ancient treasure's kind.
Some left, but others stayed.

A tall library shelf,
I'm trapped within myself....
