The definition of noise is -- sound, especially of a loud, harsh, or confused kind: deafening noises.
Noise Poems are an entirely different experience!
It has been a treat to watch these creations be spun and to hear them read by their authors.
Please post your noise poems.
Rain
ReplyDeleteThe torrent of
Rain came fast
Like a cheetah,
Then slowly dying
Of old
Age.
-Eli
The rain,
ReplyDeleteDropping onto the porch,
In little droplets,
From the roof,
Like little explosions,
They land.
-----------------------
The jangle of the corn,
Could be heard,
Over the meadows,
One by one,
The cows slowly appeared,
Over the hill,
Waiting for their food.

Drops
ReplyDeleteDrip,
Drip,
Drip,
Slowly
It
Stops,
To be
Awakened
Again
Only
By
More
Of its
Kind.
-Eli
Flood
ReplyDeleteCrashing hard,
Faint sounds of fire trucks.
Screams for help,
But know one to help, what should I do,
Help,
Stay safe,
I don’t know. JB
Noise Poem
ReplyDeleteClash of the Critters
The little clicking
noise sounded like
a ton of warring bugs.
each with a sword,
fighting for its life.

The clock
ReplyDeleteThe clock
Ticked intill
Out shoot
The bird 12 oclock
Sharp ding dong
Ding dong ding

RAIN
ReplyDeleteThe rain came,
First soft, then steadily faster,
Beating against the rusty
Tin roof.
LEAF
Taken by the wind,
It is blown.
Through the gutters,
And across the streets,
Unnoticed.
Rolling farther,
And farther,
Away.

Wood Pecker
ReplyDeleteIn the woods
I was walking when I saw a wood pecker
pecking at a tree trying to make his home.
And the next year I went back to those same woods
and I swear that I saw that same wood pecker
pecking against that same tree.

Fall Leaves
ReplyDeleteFall leaves glide to the ground.
All the colors of the rainbow.
Lower and lower the leaves glide the forest flour,
hopping to avoid being stomped on by a careless animal passing by.
Lovely leaves, gone until next fall, almost gone forever
almost gone forever.
KB
Heels
ReplyDeleteHer heals clicked,
On the runway,
Click, click, click,
Tapping as she walked,
Further,
And further,
Away.
MM
Rock against Rock = Fire
ReplyDeleteClick, click, click
Just one spark,
Grows bigger
Until
Fire!

Noise Poems
ReplyDeleteNothing Sound
It’s the nothing sound
It’s a small and very quiet sound
It gets stuck in your head like your favorite song
If you want to know what it is it’s the faint ringing noise after some one screams in your ears
It’s also the reminder of nothing wiggling its way into your head.
Snow Drift
I stroll down my drive way only hearing a similar crunching
I look down and say so this is the noise creating a musical rhythm behind my sad foot steps, that wash away through the bone chilling snow drifts with in the 3 second,
There’s only the smallest trace that you have been walking though your tracks this whole time not knowing were you’ve actually been.
Conrad
The phone call
ReplyDeleteAll of a sudden
your phone starts to go off,
it’s the mayor.
He wants to see you.
Crumpled
I saw garbage
on the floor
so I picked it up
and crumpled it
and then threw it away.
DB
I slowly pulled the red ribbon off the gift.
ReplyDeleteI brought up to my ear and shook.
It sounded like rocks rattling,
The excitement was growing.
The excitement that you always get on Christmas morning.
I thought I might savior this moment for a minute.
The wrapping paper covering the present had snowmen on it,
Their eyes as black as the coal from the fireplace.
HW
HW, your poem really had rich detail.
ReplyDeleteFC
Rebuilding
ReplyDeleteIt echoes like a person in Haiti
drumming on recycled materials
hoping they will get pennies
to try and rebuild
the unrebuildable.
FC
It is markers hitting each other
ReplyDeletesounding like pine cones in the fall.
If someone dropped a pen there would be a vibration.
You could hear the singing in your head.
AC
The Storm
ReplyDeleteAs the rain dripped
I watched as the fun
Washed away.
Now what?
Nothing to do,
Nothing to say,
I hear crack after crack.
All of a sudden
SMASH.
Nothing to do,
Nothing to say
By Jacob
The Wood Pecker
ReplyDeleteThe woodpecker sings,
All day long,
Never stopping to take a breath.
Just sings,
All day,
Till Dusk
****************************
B-r-r-r-i-n-g!
The colorful music,
So colorful,
Chimed throughout the house,
So that everyone,
No matter where,
Would hear,
B-r-r-r-i-n-g, b-r-r-r-i-n-g

Sparks

I need a fire

I need a fire

one day longer.

Hail
ReplyDeleteHail is falling hard
Against the chicken Coop roof.
The chickens
Squawk with fear that
The roof will
Burst.

The Wrapper
Kyle ate his cookie
Seven minutes ago
but was still staring
at the Wrapper.
Without a warning
He crumbles it up and
Rolls the wrapper in his hand
Just to annoy me.

The Frog
ReplyDeleteThe frog was sitting next to me,
On the beautiful green grass.
As I closed my eyes, I imagined
Me as a frog, making that lovely sound.
*******************************
Ice
It’s so cold my fingers feel frozen,
I said as I was walking on the ice.
I felt so calm, and everything was quiet.
And then CRRRK!
As I jumped up I noticed
It was the ice, so I crack, crack, cracked it.
TD
