Sounded Poems - Poems about Sounded

sounded like gun shots

It sounded like gun shots
As if someone is shooting bullets from a car on the road
Pop    Pop    Pop    Pop    Pop    Pop
My dogs did not respond
But I did
because the hair rose on the back of my neck
And I recognize gunfire
From TV

It Sounded Like You Were Trying To Evict The Words From Their Home On Your Tongue

I have been watering it for months—
the small black bulb in the cupboard
that I never let touch sunlight.
It swelled in the dark,
fed on steam from my cooking breath,
fat with the whispers I never spoke aloud.

I told myself it was only a seed,
a pebble in soil, nothing more.
I would open the door,
look at it once, and

From the Strums of Teague

Cleanfill and cement
selected pigments of orange and blue
a stiff chilling sky blue hue
to create a scenic spektical
beauty
marks the walls a sight for
people to admire
perfection
and style Phor-Lustoreteaze
the sight of marveled perfection

the lavishness
and her beauty
makes grown men
crumble and fall
her smile and capitavtivness
make me more eager to call
guess I oughta
doll up for her
since she so pretty
and everything
I bought

He Sounded Handsome Charming Even

I was on my cell phone for forty-two hours
I had gone through all my besties
They were busy, with lives, living them

So, I started calling the social media “friends”
People I had never met before
Most did not answer.

In desperation as my phone was about to die
I dialed a random number, hoping to hear a voice.
“Hello!” He sounded

At the Pub

Ever sounded so good 

As today

Make mine a double

Get the round in

Lot's to catch up on

Since we last met

Singing So Sweetly Sounded

Singing So Sweetly Sounded

our hearts had pounded
singing so sweetly sounded
around abounded

we have been obsessed
a knowledge of God possessed
by Him we are blessed

opportunity
to have perfect unity
in community

should see church spire
bells sound louder and higher
in their entire

She Sounded Thrilled To Be Jobless

My friend quit her teaching job 
In January 
This is almost March
I had no idea until today 
That she is jobless. 
She sounds thrilled 
About not working 
But what about money? 
I wonder. 
Knowing now 
She must 
Not need it.

Sounded Like Sitting On a Cactus

Sounded Like Sitting On a Cactus

Should have to hear when at practice;
Sounded as if were sitting on a cactus;
They would be,
Always off key;
Men are humbugs while women a priss.

Jim Horn

Off to choir practice.

Clarion Call Sounded On My Wailing Wall

Narrow escapes- thrice threatening
Came and went
Despite succor abstaining
My soul under no circumstances meant

Harm to my person
Stolid as I sometimes dreamt to claim
Not heeding, not learning warnings a salutary lesson
That on me poured blame

Sucked from narrow escapes
Felt deep within my clones, bones, tones and zones 
As fortune on my side with sour grapes
From goring horns and

Singing Sounded Awful

Singing Sounded Awful

When singling he howled like a hound
And had emitted such an awful sound 
Like metal being scraped with a trowel
Sometimes sounded like a horned owl.

For his singing no one gave a hoot
Of all evil singing was surely the root
About his singing we kept on stewing
What beer next should we be brewing.

His singing ended after

Sounded Good At the Time

In the New Year I resolved to lose weight 
I thought I'd start by using a small plate
But with a big sigh
I piled it up high
Dang, once more the idea not so great...


For the New Years Resolution contest.

Trumpet Sounded

Open oblivion
Awaken Armageddon			
Begin ending
Start sending
Rapture
Souls captured
Revelations
Starvation
Genocide
Will you be there?
By my side
Will you walk with me?
Be my guide
The truth you speak
Comes out in Greek
I’m blind
Help me see
Fate and destiny
Storm clouds bother
Angrily they glower
Temptation leads farther
Goodbye father
I hope for light after
