Sound Waves
the tap tap tap of fingers across computer keys, the sniffle and cough of that man sitting at table three who just ordered a hot tea, and the lady sitting in from of me talking about some man that she would never be able to acquire. not with that "aunt fanny" nasal accent that never stops plus she has something green in her teeth that squeaks when she licks her teeth. the cook singing some jimmy Hendricks song just slightly off key but suits him well as he dances around, his shoes squeak across the tile flooring.
Ghoulie said:[quote-258730-opheliac][quote-258726-Ghoulie]the lulling steadiness
thrusting winds and
thundering trains
an abrupt crescendo
of lights and horns
cascade across starch
placid walls
that weren't my own
how can anyone compete with this poem?

Thank you. Quit making me blush O. It does nothing for my complexion.[/quote]

Cushioning sounds; mattress air compressing
The old dog tries to get comfortable
I'll never forget the sound of her feet
As she walks in circles; pressing down on the sheet

I traded the sound of his truck pulling in
For fingers tapping a keyboard; knowing it’s him
Blinded four years ago, his computer speaks
It reads writing; he makes tweaks

Unsealed Dreams
Qqqqquuuiiiccckkkkkkkkk-iikkkk-kk-k
goes ooooooonnnn
revolving screeches
of shrill axis towards her man-
whirrrring bassssy blades,
nearby like tentacles
never reachable
alternating rhythms
or a fusion chase?
elusive
to
not be
collapsible

Wonderful entries by everyone, thank you!!
'silencing' game of crisis
Free radicals shoot ahead
drumming protagonist off-beats
Chunk of sloganeering fake-neutrons
meekly murmur antagonistic sarcasms
Filthy rich judgmental treetop owls
loudly proclaim convenient whitepapers
much to their bleakly screaming opacity
'still-elemental' dawn
Sparrows relay-tweet
in exploding frequencies
‘Statue’-heroic herons
land in jet-streaks
Deep-scooping peacock
screams
…bosom reverberates
Virgin airs,
yet to be in noisy invasions
lazing in concretes,
chant eastern skies’ symphony
