Best Reeling Poems

I twist evermore past a cotillion of meteors
Spreading plumes across unknown rhythm;
A mad swivel with myself, thrilling my essence 
In a hanging motion of a dip…I find myself alone
on the floor; my hem gathering night’s stardust.

And the saxophonist gazes at me from afar, 
he smiles,

THE REELING BATMOBILE

Batman unmasked -  a child
sits in the reeling batmobile.

“Grandma, your Superman”
“Okay,”  I say,

“Then who’s Grandpa?”
The three year old replies:

“He’s Wonder Woman,”
The car roars with laughter.

JIGGING - REELING

Friday, got that wild anticipated, weekend feeling.
Respite, two days of fun, jigging, reeling.
Ireland, weekend free, looking at the cealing!
Dreaming, still Friday, concealing, appealing,
a weekend with no stock and share dealing.
Yes, Friday a faint memory, on stage, jigging reeling!

I am not too concerned about getting it all right....
Nor about being a robot, caught up in somebody else's play 
Time opened it's door ? Now, we're just pulling the pieces together
Don't fear the reaper and believe me, it doesn't matter what their kingdom
Be darkness...

Shatters of our loins;
Trepidating high on the mountain sigh
Caliphates on the shoulders of power
The Jungle; a psyche for warriors
I fear not; for its aim are-
Alas, a country jabbed!

The reeling ridge; bridges to leech-
On the stenchy throne; matyrs made,
On the stenchy throne; history made.
A plunging ocean!

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."  Aristole 

I 
marvel 
at her dance, 
such fair charmer
reeling  graciously
on new daylight’s pulses—
radiant the waltz , the swing
pirouetting  among   blossoms;
while flappers ride over lush treetops 
only  to ...

I am reeling in the years
I have Ringing in my ears 
While you gather up your tears
I have dry eyes, as do my peers

The weekly check in at the Drs.
didnt turn out as I planned
The things he said I have,
 I cant even understand

I spent...

To the run-on agony of really caring about someone new

and ill take special requests on the busiest nights too

an invitation to the sure thing confidence kills you and me dance

a hot july star of sorts scorching uncertainty burn nova burn

plans making plans there are so...

FISHERMEN CASTING LINES REELING IN- -

Hello, all you fishermen;
Are you fishing yet;
Are you casting your lines out;
Are you letting your light so shine;
Are the robins from heaven;
Reeling in;
Is your witness your testimony;
Is your testimony your witness;
Reeling in;
Casting out lines;
Letting light so shine;
Angels rejoice, sing in...

Fragile black sillouettes,
leaves on the water
sunrise and sunset 
on a fisherman's daughter
silver blue heron's legs
shimmer and shine,
on the Homosassa River
reeling in a heart  line

  catching black catfish
bellys white as sheep
by the light of the lantern
while the others are asleep
and the whole rollin river
just...

Still reeling (albeit figuratively) after amidst realization...
keys to apartment and 2009 Hyundai Sonata went missing

Yesterday August tenth year
two thousand and twenty one,
I experienced blitzkrieg of explosive panic
shattering an ordinarily calm veneer
me (a doubting Thomas) resorting to *****
re the higher power to rescue me sanity,

inducing absent...

I crave the quiet not the dark,
filled with such a heavy feeling;
The silence so overwhelming 
always obliterates that spark;

This ship you can’t disembark,
even as your mind’s left reeling;
I crave the quiet not the dark,
filled with such a heavy feeling;

On my psyche it’s left it’s mark,
vital...
