Best Swirling Poems

Life is never a planned ride
      on a magical carpet,
that awakens jasmine
dreams lost in the brisk air.
We weave our own 
zest of zephyr, 
to tailor-stitch a tapestry;
       buttoned with zeal,

it is dawn in the city
and all is quiet and hushed 
today, I wrote seven words . . . 
the streets are windswept still
a lonely soul-   I wander
painted pigeons follow me
my page of words swirls away

The Unseen, As Swirling Ebbs Of Time Plod Along

Fight disbelief, as its intended power is to deceive
its low, hard constant drone, echoes shattered moans
with razor knife edge, bloodied cuts hide in its deep,
at dusk's waning hours, path falls to the cold and dead
And what speaks...

Twirling, whirling, swirling into myself
I listen to my ready soul
I take blank canvas off a shelf

Twirling, whirling, swirling into myself
My muse becomes my happy elf.
As I begin, I feel whole


Twirling, whirling, swirling into myself
I listen to my ready soul...

From out the swirling surf 
he plucked a maiden fair, and in distress, 
whose innocence intrigued him so 
that he could not confess in speech, 
articulate her loveliness. 

He took her to his breast and blessed her, 
held her close, and quieted her fears;

In swirling mist, I inch along the roads,
There are no passengers aboard the coach;
This is no night for driving heavy loads.
The headlights full to warn of my approach,
My scalp is prickling: wonder what this bodes
(My instincts always prove beyond reproach).
And then dismembered hairy hands appear;
An...

Pine needles and dead leaves
twirling, swirling in a dance.
Falling as fast as snowflakes now.
This ballet, their last chance.

To the ground, a carpet forms.
Dead they are as the summer past.
Twirling, swirling on their journey
in the Autumn's windy blast.

Yellow, red and green the leaves
blowing in the windy...

Swirling With Rain


Misty vapor fog line the lane
Pockets of rain poke throw the clouds
Dew collect on tree and grass

Downpours tap tap tap onto rooftops
Drizzles of droplets drip down the drain

A wailing whimper weep
Woes of wretchedness 
Withered willows washed down  the Waterway 
Wind wreathes and...

The Swirling Green Storm

Sea foam splattered upon his panicked face 
his boat sank and life was torn asunder. 
He had run away, he was a disgrace; 
the storm worsened with a crack of thunder. 

Each new wave tore at his weakening hold 
yet he recovered,...

Would you go swimming or fishing with an eighty foot strong hook, flippers, a basket hat, and a toothbrush tail? Bullfrog wants to. He wants to consistently visit the waters to engage in the flow and ebb and weave of the stylish currents. Duty bound...

The Butterfly Cocooned

Noon
Beneath higher twig tips, 
    my heart flutters
Near converging branches.

My cocoon
Rests
Mid-high the strength 
    and distinctive character
Of a gnarly tree.  Embracing me.
This, my home…Cocoon.

Night.
This essential place,
Protecting
Above the swirling world,
Puzzling with its mixing motions
Of lights, colors, temperatures,
Until...
