"noisemakers" poems
****** affliction of a lack of affection companion
Hand and hand strolling greater than syrupy plunging
and even sometimes buddy shrugging over wooden noisemakers
We whistle with their metal strings
and through the pasta soft ones in our throats
but no nest colored mares seem to hear
our flamboyant feather calls for future fondling
So I scribe slight implied short letters
invites to drink joints and nature jaunts
All too well thought out
hoping your advanced technology cannot trace
the time I spent to type
The overanalysis of our psych: her and I’s
wondering why she doesn’t have an inkling
for a cute fall date where we attempt to bake apple pies
It’s all too contrived, I know
I’ll strive for delusion
Accept a useful interpretation for our chemical inflammation
and let sparks pass it by
Like itsy bitsy flies laying eggs in a wound
for stagnant water maggots
They’ll eat away the thought well
where all my cranial zaps seem to dwell.

There are bloggers and selfie-takers,
Know the difference.
There are noisemakers and peacemakers,
I can show you the evidence.
There are admirers and haters.
Be especially mindful.
There are well-wishers and supporters.
Be very careful
The are naysayers and yeasayers
Always be aware.
There are brothers and brother's keeper,
Always ready to take care.
There are destroyers and fixers,
Separate them.
There are mixers and blenders,
We need them.
There are writers and publishers,
They need each other.
There are readers and proofreader.
Both read for different reasons.
There are bystanders and onlookers.
Both will be watching.
There are movers and shakers,
One of them has the edge.
There are dreams snatches and vision busters,
Be on the lookout.
There are ghost whisperers and Ghostbusters,
Both have connection to a ghost.
There are buyers and sellers,
Each one benefits.
There are singers and there are dancers.
Everyone provides some entertainment.

Bring out the noise makers
and kneel at the alter.
Blow your kisses to the breeze
and let midnight fall.
Charity mesmerizes me,
comforts me and brings me around.
The people are dying
and soldiers bullets are flying.
Old Mother Earth
tells it like it is.
No terrorist threat,
just slam the coast
one time,
slam the coast two time.
Blow those noisemakers
and throw your kisses to the breeze,
kneel at the alter
and let midnight fall.

A sweet sponge cake
With snow-white icing
And a single candle
As big as a basketball
The table's covered in silk
Confetti all over the walls
And the floor, too
It's time to celebrate
The candle lights up
They're hesitant
Too good to eat, they think
Noisemakers distract them
But there's no noisemakers to be found
One of them grabs the knife and sighs
It has to happen
The other make a wish
And the room goes dark
The knife makes a deep cut
Unexpectedly, jam comes out
They're scared
Invisible noisemakers continue to play
The cake remains still, unaffected by time
The one with the knife did not know what to do but throw it
And it hits another, but not the cake
Jam falls, drop by drop
The silky tablecloth gets ripped
It was never strong enough
Noise grows deafening
The birthday child cries

Another New Year
Whoop-de-do
I could care less
How about you?
Just another year
To ***** up again
No resolutions
No light at the end
Take out the hats
And the noisemakers too
Now you know just what to do
Watch the ball drop
Toast the champagne
Soon you will be feeling no pain
Another New Year
To feel all alone
This New Year’s Eve
I’m just staying home

boisterous people
blowing horns
twisting noisemakers
wearing glittery hats
and shiny beads
drinking champagne with bubbles
giving a shout of
'HAPPY NEW YEAR!'
*good bye
and good riddance
2014*

Hit her with the birch twigs and marshall a crowd of claws and peepers.
[and then try]
Bag their eyes with sordid flares and scandalous noisemakers.
[and then try]
Blur the distinction between tribute and torture: just enough of each.
[and then try]
The audience backs odds on purity or pregnancy.
[and then try]
She will be a critical darling or she will not be, depending on the rhythm of the spell and the keenness of her appetite.
