Best Swooshing Poems


Premium Member Backdrop of Cupidity
Love is a swooshing whirlpool,
swirling, twirling and whirling -
intensifying porcelain emotions.

Floating helplessly,
like bubbles in a tepid breeze.

There are still flashbacks

an unforgettable memory,
where poets, painters and musicians,
rushed to liberate their excited muses.

Her
diamond droplet eyes dazzled,
embellishing her emerald dress. 
A vision of clarity, curing sadness.

A solution to...

Premium Member Shooting Stars
Life is fleeting. And if you’re ever distressed, cast your eyes to the Summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day...make a wish and think of me.

Premium Member Buckets Without Summer Sand
Two impish girls by a ridge of the sea
frolicked with wavelets  lapping merrily
as pink buckets  swayed, in each little hand
where clusters of moistened grains polished the sand
bedecking castles on bright August skies;
mermaids we dressed in ferns waiting to dry.

Patty and I guarded the...

Scary Night-Mystery
Scary night sky streaked in shades of indigo mysteries.
Blazing light explodes - Sudden air strike unravels swooshing surprise
as ravaging bombs destroy slumbering silence with shocking sound.

Premium Member A Step Away
Simmering and swinging out on a limb
Life all around full to the brim
Swooshing and sliding in it's place
Chatting and joining the rat race
Hurry and scurry and passing us by
With a heave and a hoe and give a sigh
Round and round with audible sound
Our feet barely...

Premium Member Wind
to mark the edge of spring
to tilt strawmen 'gainst their will
late April wind shuffles new leaves like a deck of cards
a simple trick
nature in its gliding

the willow rustling
pushed by the huff and puff of big bad wolf intention
a wind that incites the season's freshness
rich romp...

Premium Member The Sound of Hands
The soft sounds of my hands in the air
Swift swooshing movement of words
Expressive fingers moving letters around
Stillness flowing sentences to paper
The intricate familiar patterns of language
Never perceived as impossible until 
Possibilities run out, until words stop
making sense inside. Until lips tongue
and brain fail to co-operate,...

Silence In the Wind
Close your eyes and imagine,
If you listen closely-
You can hear it-
The silence in the wind.
The swooshing sounds,
Breeze going by.
Can you hear it?
The fall of the water,
The chirp of the cricket,
The song of the bird,
The cry of the wild--
All silenced for 
A moment in time.
The silence...

Unshackled
Could beliefs be wrong
I've survived for too long
in a world full of conflicts,
wilting nascent innocence--
with venomous fearful experiences..

Broken dreams crawl to breathe
inflicted with harsh realities
unaware of masked conspiracies
in fiery oceans of betrayal,
now pound against my sanity
floating to silver stars--
they shiver to exist in probabilities..

Diminishing hopes...

Where Has All The Beauty Gone?

There is no time like the now times,
The ever-present blood-swooshing times.
Time again to surrender as a smitten lover surrenders,
To the never-ending rhapsodies of erotic impulses,
Which exhale as a listless leviathan exhales,
Basking in the swishing waters off the windy capes, 
Naked,...

Aha Argh Oh My Dog
Aha - argh... oh my dog...
don't mind me muttering, eh?

Earlier today (May 5th, 2020),
I forget thee exact hour
found me utterly beside mice elf,
matter of fact even at this moment,
yours truly doth feel mad at himself
cuz Aldi's merchandise (mostly food)
needed to be restored to their proper...

Premium Member Raindrops End
satisfying sound, raindrops end—
swooshing of dark-wet, late green branches

intensifying quiet of morning
thunder and lightning rescind—
mourning absentee birds

there’s no sun
as Autumn comes,
apples
ornamental—
in sodden basket
of orchard.
sweetness
lies on ground
rolled in
debris of
sticks and stones.
whispering zephyr
coolness in its aplomb.
choice
lovelies brim on trees.

the waterlogged bark
with placidity of dawn—
sudden break of chirps

Premium Member Fall Splendour
Summer's excitement over, veiled Fall tiptoes softly
tantalizing, with aroma of golden sunshine,
decoupage of leaves - cerise, tangerine, crimson-red
a riot of colours on bountiful maple and playful pine!

whimsical season filling hearts in euphoric delight,
I see dreams of my zestful youth in soaring leaves
swooshing, floating, drifting around,...

It is still preferable

Premium Member Wisdom From the Wheezing Woods
Listen to the wisdom, oozing from the wheezing  woods, 
Whimpering in euphony, far from the bustling boulevards,
Crooning, mumbling mellow chirping soothing strains. 
The warbling of the warbles, buzzing of the bumblebees, fetching sputtering riddles! 

Listen to the cryptic hooting, hissing, howling of the forest...
