Twistin' And Shouting'
Been blessed with a very sensitive nose
Drawn to ladies who smell like a rose
An intense attraction
As I leap into action
Shivering and shaking right down to my toes

The End Of Its Shouting
He died
in a whisper
alone
in its presence
The call of death
weaker
than what he’d
been told
Wading into its
shallows
each step
took him deeper
Reluctance
and acceptance
both swimming
in turn
Each voice
every motion
he passed
toward the bottom
The pressure of
choosing
now
drifting away
In denial
and waiting
the past
floating above him
But the end
of its
shouting
— had finally begun
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)

Things to shout about
By BillMarable
He was a pastor of the third generation
who could sometimes get animated in his presentation
Like last Sunday at the 11 o’clock hour
The spirit took hold and he began to tower
As the choir ended it’s morning song to glory
Pastor begin to recite his holy story
He stood at the mic all clam and composed
As he laid

I feel a choir of raw throats shouting hoarse warnings and then quieting
I feel a choir of raw throats shouting hoarse warnings and then quieting,
Leaving a nervous stillness trembling on the lips of the morning,
Or riding the scrolling text at the bottom of the TV screen.
Something is wrong.
There is a restlessness seeping like mist from the lesions
Of the carnage yet to come, a slow decay,
As if all

Nicorates
upon meditation when outside
suggested happenings it knew I
would not like, sun-filled spring
afternoons piled up like books
stacked upon books, teetering,
then after attempts, the room
went nowhere, but, I may not
have done – her voice shouted
it both drew me in to another
world yet threw me back to the
one I had just left . .

Man Cave
My Man Cave my shed,
All it needs is a bed.
Its become my private domain,
Where nobody can complain.
Its full of tool and all of my fishing gear,
There are even some of my comfortable old clothes that I just like to wear.
There a comfortable chair,
And lots of things I don't like to share.
I can simply fiddle about,
I

Screams
Can you hear it?
Not that anybody presses so,
But still,
There they are.
Their obnoxious shouting,
With twitching countenances,
A purely inconceivable demeanor
Consisting of nothing
But insanity,
Lust,
And overall
Ravenousness.
They used to walk,
Walk inside,
And back out again
Ever so orderly.
Gloriously gallant guards
Protecting the central base
Of their livelihood.
Now,
They scramble
Writhing,
Self-penalizing,
Wriggling with utter chaos
As the lot of anxious,
Swinish abominations
That we now realize they are.
That we

Anger
Anger a fierce emotion,
Quietly seething the blood boiling,
Anger shows when upset,
It comes out in many ways,
Yelling, hitting throwing things,
A missile flying duck there are more to come,
A slap never solves anything,
Yelling just walk away,
Talk things through that's the best way.

Shouting Farewell
Tripping over my shadow,
guilt darkened the night
The devil bespoken,
fear burning bright
Stepping into the darkness,
one chance to look back
Light shouting farewell
—as panic attacked

Shouting At Their Profit Clouds
Shouting at their profit clouds
I have been on the left all my life
Our leaders war in Vietnam inspired me
As a young man, facing conscription
Then Labor was elected and saved me from jail
Or killing people I did not know
For reasons unfathomable
To my young mind
I was too young to vote
But went to Labor
Or rather its left
And

Shouting In the Wind
Beneath a sky of blue
On a plain of grass so green
Sitting underneath a tree
Thinking of what is
And of what might have been
A man reflects on fellow man
Of trying to help many times
Of all things that he was said
All the times that they have turned away
Standing now and looking to sky
And far across the empty land
In
