Best Stir Poems

Stir of echoes
Run through my mind
I see them there 
All the time
Where do they come from
And why are they there
Echoes all around me
I try to erase them 
Echoes out of time
They're on repeat 
 All the time
Stir of echoes
Is what I hear 
They're getting 
Closer...

Jealous are my delusions; 
demons possessive and breathing 
with persistence personified — myself
in woes and throes of sorrow
seeing not so much as a sky-high tender tea light
through the crocheted canvas of darkness
even as your searchlight searches in vain
for a flash amidst the chop of frothy...

Oh, for a poem to stir men's souls
   to remove pseudo-shackles, to set new goals

Oh, for a lyric to move folks to cheer
   to cast off aspersions, to eliminate fear

Oh, for a rhyme enabling spirits to climb
   to soar...

If i were brave
i’d leave my job
i’d be an artist
adventurous and audacious
i’d be extravagant
and listen to opera
as loud as loud can be
fearlessly i’d dabble
on the edges of insanity
i’d paint murals
with the boldest colors
bringing joy to
every passerby
i’d put an end
to injustice
to poverty
as well as sadness
i’d get...

the beat
of wings the bells
and merry flight of snow
the flap of angel crew as day
unveils

the drop
of dew the pearls
and birches whisper blow
the hymn of fresh horizon’s born
this morn

the reds
and greens in tune
in sunrise glow and shake
of berries in cardinal’s pine
awake...

“Curiosity is also my worst vice, and once stirred one not to be denied.” Anthony Ryan

My love contains lavender and elements of surprise 
Like a warm wet whimsical wave
Lose yourself in my chocolate eyes 
Find fuchsia freedom hazel happy place

The sight of me a delightful...

when twilight comes soon the night falls
       and I lay my head on my pillow
    while up above the stars sprawl
        oh, my bedroom curtains billow

Rushing Waters Stir The Soul

The water rushed by with a glow
its journey's end few may know
Just a long creek flowing west
deep into wetlands I knew best

Sunny morns I visit to renew
stir heart, wipe away the blue
Sounds so pleasing to my ears
comforting sights easing fears

Fish flopping...

Words that stir us deep inside
Light a candle, make us fly. 

Words that move us up or down
In our minds and round and round.

If our eyes and brains both sync
Words can capture what we think.

Words that hold some magic spell
And take us all where time...

Bathed in
serenity
caressed by oceans of
aesthetic, calm, spiritual
secrets.

Merry
carousels spin
from the wind off the wings
of the wispy, soft doves that sing
to me.

Velvet
corollas drift
and each perfume the air
with the essence of creations
soft breath.

Graceful, 
mute swans indulge
the breeze in the silent
beauty of nature's trumpet and
power.

Fragile
wings tickle and
wrestle typhoons within
vast...

I sit to write, but first I put some oil in the pot.
Ideas need to simmer and I have a lot.
Red peppers and some celery I add in for some crunch.
Into the pot they go sliced up; it’s quite a bunch.
Some lovely water chestnuts, oh...

The weather is warmer and snow turns to rain,
outside for us freedom awaits,
no clearing a path down the driveway again
and no drifts piling up by the gate.
The cat ventures out with a wave of her tail
eight days of confinement now end,
I've tried everything to keep...

Stirring my coffee
Staring right in front of me
Thoughts flies like echoes
Reverberating the past
Silence whispered... I'm alive....
