Premium Member Sleeping With Her Eyes Open

Her teacher is yapping again.
She resents it, it takes away from her nap time.
Do you sleep with your eyes open? Her girlfriends ask.
Must, she replies. It comes in handy in class.


Trick Or Treat

Ghost and ghouls groaning,
Youths, yapping yelling;
Trick or treat…teasing
In sweet and sweat season.

Sweets storm the street,
Stones substitute sweet;
Grown ups fails to greet
…Troubled by’ trick or treat’

Premium Member Obnoxious Boor at Family Reunion

He was obnoxious almost to the point of repulsive
Constant banter escaped his always yapping jowls
He gave you no space or peace, monopolizing all conversation
Many stopped attending family reunions due to this brazen boor

Wishful Thoughts

Torrents pound ground.
Raincoat over head
going for the mail.

Small dog - large voice
yapping on and on.

Dog now howling,

Lake Erie has thrown
a bucket
of cold water over its head.

It could happen,
it's a very Great Lake.

Premium Member Zapping Fascists

Any Bright, Coherent Deist Effects 
Fascist Groups Honing Illusions 
Justifying Killing, Lending Moral Notoriety
Oppressively Proselytizing Quasi Religious Sanctimoniousness 
Tailgating Unabashedly Viciously With Xeroxlike Yapping Zeal.

Yapping

words can put you off the stroke, constant yapping they invoke, loss off concentration, chokes, romance just aint a rapping, dingoes dongers flappin... round the slippery slidin slopes... thank you Ruben O "from the prison" Don

American Beauty

American Beauty can do everything,

from graduating High School,

 intercede.

Judge kindly, 

love,

 multitask,

never overlooking passion.

Qualified referee,

singing tolerance.

Universal value,

warmhearted Xanthippe,

yapping zealously!

Be Quiet

Silence
in the clank of the button
on my blue jeans
tumbling in the dryer

Silence
in the ceaseless yapping
of the dog locked outside
next door

Silence
in the booming stereo
from the truck parked
out front

Deafening cacophony
in the silence
from you
sad

Sounds of the City

The city rattling,
Feet trampling,
Faces focusing,
Engines purring,
Drivers sighing,
Music drifting,
Ads whoring,
Johns buying,
Click Clack,
Shoppers yapping,
Money swearing,
Tills ringing,
Workers wishing,
Cameras spinning,
Wealthy plotting,
 
And me weeping for eternity.

Yapping

• Will you, won't stop your yapping? • Leaving me scornful with my foot tapping • Should you, need you waste our time? • Bickering about needless and petty things • Do learn to mute it sometime • 'Cause my leave will leave me with glee • With the knowledge that I'm finally free

Premium Member Political Speak

Some wings are for flapping
while others are for soaring – It's
just a fact; as some mouths are for
yapping...while others, really say
something I want to hear – 

If I am not making myself clear:
I mean, to me, feathers are feathers...
and I am far to old, to spend precious
time, deciding if gibberish or Tongues? –

My Fat Bottom Lip

Have you noticed that 
My fat bottom lip 
Is about twice the normal size 

When it gets to a-yapping 
And starts in on its flapping 
A safe distance would be wise 

Because all the dribble 
Meets in the middle 
Using it like a diving board 

And when the spittle is sent 
You're bound to get drenched 
From my lips to yours you've been warned

Premium Member The Fallout from Dyslexia and Nuclear War

For my entire life
I've always been on the brink
of annihilation.

A cold war child
a nuclear age child
petrified of being exposed
to the fallout, child

Under a wooden desk
covering porcelain neck
the unforgiving sirens.
Teachers yapping at us to keep our heads covered.


Seven years of age
stressed out by the alphabet
A thoroughly undiagnosed dyslexic

Premium Member my muse

finally shut her trap,
did the job
of being herself,
letting me
observe
in the quiet—
god, 
the yapping
made her, 
too human
it's like she thought
she was the artist.
now look:

line breaks
sharp again—

enough to keep
breaking
backs, morale, 
slogging 
the ten-ton-taken-for-granted 
stones
up-up-up
Sisyphean hills,
still—
 
I miss her 
jibber jabber.

Premium Member The Pleasant Yapping of My Slippers

I wear my little dogs like bedroom slippers
They rush about the house, those little nippers
The black one and nut brown
Up the staircase down
Sometimes we go to town
In my bedroom gown.

They run with me upon them through the woods
I love them more than all my wealth and goods
With hair flung out behind
There's nothing on my mind
My doggies are so kind
It matters not I'm blind.

Premium Member tale of the trash-licking witch

I once lived with a yapping trash-licker 
a two faced dead soul and side back kicker 
she treated me like a tart~
I didn't like her rotting fart
makes my golden fringe cringe, and grow thicker..

She’s a noodle-haired witch..selling old fries
flying in over-sized panties, she cries
begging to be seen, she craps,
beware of her diss rap traps
I ain't her nanny to sing when she lies..

Eyes of Justice

the bleeding eyes of justice 
vulture claws at the victim’s soul 
the blind lady feels what 
she hopes is rain 
as drops of the victims 
blood splatters her blackened robe 
she makes her stand 
persecuted by yapping chickens 
with blood on their hands 
as the thunder clap echoes 
through the hall 
she stuns them all 
as a dove white as snow 
fly’s to her and whispers 
“GUILTY” for the earth to see

Keys For the Newish Year

Kitchen catastrophes,
kitty got into the closet
the cat has a key
cold cuts today
no time to cross the equator
in a clapped-out cart.
New Year beer
hob-knobbing with the cousins
from down under.
Skype skipping,
excruciating words
not napping but yapping on.
Kaleidoscopic clips of memories
auld lang syne -ing,
merry making
with the madcap amigos.
Cat nipping,
kitty got out of the closet
she got a key
in me.

The Black Dog

The black dogs barking
Sending you mad
Howling like crazy
Baying and whining
Driving you mad
Telling you this
Telling you that
Making up the future
Changing the past
Invading you’re thoughts
With the what and the why
and the how and the who
No time for logic
No room for common sense
The black dog is braying
Relentless won’t stop
Yapping and crying
The thing will not stop
Growling and snarling
Sending you mad

Premium Member Milking Time

Milking time


breaking dawn, the sun slowly rising in the east
as early morning mist evaporates, all is quiet and still
in the distance, a cow bellows.
a cottage door opens and a maid emerges.
in her hands the milking stool and pail
later she returns to the dairy

      cows gather at gate
black dogs yapping at their heels
      the milkmaid awaits

     welcome the warm byre 
maid rests her head on cow’s flank
     creamy milk pours forth

Heifer In the Back Forty

Up in the front
They fight and gather
Yip yapping
'Bout the chickens dirty feathers

If you come round back
You can see the behind
But even if facts were presented
They would never find

...fault

Every new member
Tries to locate their spot
But the heifers protest
'Bout what they ain't got

Sun shinning brightly
Pond calling for cool rest
The mature ones are in
While heifers decide the best

...guide
