Best Swinging Poems

What
is the
neon mauve
moon without trails
of twinkling twilight stars that swing in skies?
Perhaps, memories are just fluorescent
leaves that sing in
lifeline-ink
of the
past,
stained
with pearl-
pastels of
present seconds, 
pulsating heartbeats without 'You and I'....

  his words to me said it best

        a timeless and countless love...

Tonight I went out Swinging for the very first time
Now the title has grabbed your attention – I hope you will read my rhyme!

Tonight I went to hear The Manx Swing Band
The best musicians throughout the land
Don Elliot and Terry Quayle have been members right...

I was swinging from my glass chandelier
Lost my grip and landed smack on my rear
Banged my head and blood poured out of my ear
I screamed expletives nobody should hear!

The ache in my bum was very severe
Sobbing with pain I shed a salty tear
An ambulance was...

No one to play with, what to do?
Shall I sit down to sulk and rue?
Shall I stand up and cry aloud?
Shall I go jogging midst the crowd?
Or shall I walk down to the zoo?

Well, let me think of what to do,
My swing - the best...

Where is she? I whispered.
She is magical, no telling where.
Her parents pointed to the ceiling.
I went to the roof.
Saw the stars.

She is higher than that, her brother told me.
She has gone to the heavens.
She is up there swinging now.
I was surprised he was okay with...

stopped along the road
     to synthesize a poem
             a feathery mimosa
     honeysuckle vine

Swinging to and fro from side to side,
I wriggle my back, I'm on the glide,
I'm a cocker spaniel just laying back,
My owner built me my own hammock.

This grinning watch-dog is always moving,
Gentle swaying is so soothing,
Ah, life is nice on a summer's day, 
Especially with...

Swing in,swing out,
To the world I shout,
Spread peace and love,
That's what I'm about,
From a star so far,
I see hatred and war,

I see wars being planned,

After chewing shoe leather they called steak, 
in the Pencey cafeteria, 
Mal, Ackley, and I enjoyed a winter afternoon on campus, 
on the bus, and in a restaurant.
We walked across a puffy white quilt 
as students conversed, laughed, and threw snowballs.
I held my snowball until...

I must stop this bell ringing
Take up with a choir, singing
Cos my sweaters are too tight
Boobs look like ferrets having fight.

each and every night above,
a light in the dark
given with a heart of love,
“Semper illic” just like me.


~Semper illic means always there in Latin~

God's hand reached through time
dropping brilliance in the night
love's eternal gift
one star named for "my best friend"
our anniversary light
