Best Airily Poems

Cypress trees like evergreen steeples
rise above rows of gravestone woes,
their shadows lie side by side like railroad ties 
across writhing paths banded like snakes;
gravel birth cords sinuous 
sensing the ground   seeking the sun
crossroads of life and death and rebirth;
where mortals breathe and grieve...

You had that future retro look:  two thousand seventeen,
There was a slow and sultry permanence, a little slouchy lean
As you eased out of the taxi before it shot off to the right,
Who could have predicted what was goin' down that night.

Your totemic injunctions had...

the dimness
of this dawn
cannot cloud
my thoughts
that rise
flushed
across my flesh

i thirst for you
more than this soil
thirsts for rain
as it falls
airily down
surrounding me
in whispered breaths

passion unfolds
in blushed hues
across dream's horizon
where the flickers of stars
still dance within
the edges of azure
peering back
beneath the clouds

i feel the warmth
encompassing me
despite this...

this epistle per mine choice of heir apparent presidential throne
composed from one liberal minded non-conformist rolling stone  

prompted awareness that one voice can affect which contestant will win
and occupy the white house after the votes get tallied from political spin

aware thy missive from an...

O yes, that is fine day
For fishing in mountain river
When weather is bad, 
And raining from early gray dawn. 
When world look so pity and doleful
Maybe for artists and poets
But so nice for big and hefty fishes.
They are swimming out 
from deep and cold bottoms...

Afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis since her birth

Lavender lilacs pose pretty 
         with riotous rows of perfect petals
             wind whipped, airily arcing
       mesmerizing motions…paths pulsing

Rog the funambulist 



A paragon was Rog, heroic in the air, without airs
One of the most magnificent funambulists at ease
Whether walking a rope or flying on a trapeze,
Though he blessed the earth with no dauntless heirs.

None could ever hope to meet his burly like again.
How...

Merrily
fairies tease lyrical tunes
arranged almost airily

Breezily
frolic with wild woodland sprites
dancing through branches of trees

Kisses pressed
with great delight on the ears
of squirrels sleeping in nests

Finally
as the sun rises, they slip
under leaves, sleep peacefully

Ooh...this... just an amazing grace note
     recalling how I felt like an ass
and wanna toot 'bout me getting steered
     (as a heavy metal kid Rocker)

     toward befriending a brass

Folderol and balderdash,
nonsensical, sweet whimsy.
Musical, so airily,
she prances round the elm tree.
Mimsy do, in flimsy blue
with bells upon her head, ho!
Where she goes, I do not know,
exquisite, never chintzy.
A woodland sprite, her face alight,
she coyly beckons fireflies.
Off into the dark, they go,
playing out a dance...

 On a bright morning I was greeted warm
By a host of flowers of the self same hue
Smiling disarmingly from an orchid wild
With their white petals washed in dew

Amid the vernal green, they shone radiant
Like scattered stars bursting the seams of the sky
Airily they poised...

By:Sikolwethu Mthethwa 

In readiness for my journey to the land of dreams,
I bring my pillow closer to the full moon
And wrap myself around the blanket of stars that litter the night sky
While the Serene breeze airily sings me a lullaby

One deep breath to purge myself...

Hummingbird hardly heard,
airily, merrily
extraordinarily
effortless floating, near
weightless transparency,
seemingly without the
slightest of care.

Urgent persistency,
terribly panicky,
frenzied and frantic, she's
burning through energy
rapidly, hungrily;
precise machinery
executes there.

Mallard so lazily,
buoyantly floating on
glassy flat waters, he
glides on the surface, and
wanders unhurriedly,
conveying contentment,
trivial feat.

Feet like a bicycle
furious pedaling,
splendidly, swimmingly, 
chasing and fishing, he's
hungrily hunting...
