Short Vocally Poems

I desire for song,
Writ practically worthy;
I wish I could,
Write it out!
So, display to earth,
My triumph or hurt:
May each word,
Be vocally proud!...

GIVE PAUSE

All breaks come due
Every filled gorged hour
In just known little moments
Never one pertinent question
Raising some tension, usually vocally
When x-raying your zip

That shot missed the mark totally,
stop throwing your twisted arrows;
Drunk Cupid, lay off the whiskey,
that shot missed the mark totally;

hot blood in my veins now bellows;
That shot missed the mark totally,
stop throwing your twisted arrows....

Yes I'm a bit reckless- 

Vocally aggressive, 

But it's never been my aim to seem impressive;

and sister---mother just get
an old fashion physical hug;
or would that be vocally
asking too much?...

To write the finest poem that your heart and mind permit
You must let go of yourself and earthly bonds, dream vocally
Speak aloud in your mind of feelings, both good and bad

Thereby touching on the heart of something that matters so
In other words, to write that one, that special one, let yourself go...

Though my tongue can't vocally tell and yell
