Best Twirl Poems
Planets in orbit
Some big and some small
Beings from outer space
Some named, others not
Discoveries made
Orbital spin
Masterfully
Perfect timing
In retrograde
Planets sway
Comets fall
Earth rotate
Unflawed
Refined

Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I'm bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I can see my future
Standing alive
Walking amongst deadly ways
And yet I still thrive
My message is very clear
From beginning to end
Enemies and foes amongst me
Yet who is my friend
God told me not to worry
In time I will tell
All that you need to know
To do things well
The key is very simple
Nothing in life comes for free
Determination is what I find
In this mystery
I have got my head in the clouds
So time will not pass me by
Wondering what I need
But if I would only try
Where I am going from here
Nobody really knows
I guess I will try to keep it simple
In my next tomorrow
Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am standing in the midst of a sea clear, bright, and blue
I am looking for somebody
But I do not know who
I need answers to solve daily problems
So I go to the man
Who keeps the world revolving
If I am in Him
And He is in me
A crucial door just opened
So now I can see
I am on the outside and still looking in
Praying for answers daily in this battle I win
The war will be over soon
But I will still enjoy time of peace
Knowing it starts within me
To keep my mind at ease
So go on and put the globe down
On my finger let it spin
And that is the very message
That I have to send
So that everyone will know
Who is in control
As the story unfolds
In the hand God holds
Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I can twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world

Where in the world will you find a girl
Whom you could say, 'I love you', my pal
And she says in return
Come on, let us have fun
sit beside me on the couch, curl and twirl.

Limerick
I'll call her a different name
This girl whom I thought was my dame
On holiday she went
With my money well spent
To Malta she went on a plane
Whilst there she met a waiter called Frank
In bed playing sexual pranks
This Susanna my girl
His heart she did twirl
We're engaged, and this is her thanks
I looked forward to the day she came home
With this waiter her hands on he roamed
Hey! Susanna your dumped
I hope you end up real plump
Your a dog, I should throw you a bone
Wow! a man with the final say
Our relationship ends today
I wish you the best
With your holiday zest
It's my turn to go out and play

Limerick
Come dance in the waters
that summer has warmed
amidst the froth of the seas
Hear the sighs that echo from tides
as the crescents ripple in breeze
Join the surfers
as they ride in on the waves
balancing bravely so tall
watch as their confidence grows so high
until showing off some do fall
It’s one enormous bath
with the plug left in
where people swim around in the quay
and in that huge sink, the ships sail in
with the goods coming home from away
See how the bathers go in for a dip
desperate to cool down in the sun
and children play sports
on the beach with new friends
running around with such fun

Free verse
"One is too many and a thousand is never enough", is the thought that I am thinking each time I puff puff this sickening sweat stuff.
Your power is alluring, in your presence I quake. For just a moment with you I offer my life, it is yours to take.
All I need is a puff puff then deep breath, please make it all better my sweat Crystal Meth.
With a calm steady hand I prepare you with grace, in just a few moments you will take me away from this place. A religiously practiced twist and a twirl over heat I make you swirl. A few puffs out of the top let me know that it's time. Inhale slow and deep, be patient in seconds everything will be fine.
Twisty twirl puff puff then deep breath, you have made it all better my sweet Crystal Meth.
Exhale, now the ritual is complete, I lay back and enjoy the tingle that runs from my head to my feet. I watch the world become brighter as everything inside of me is now lighter. I know that this has already taken its' toll, but for every second I am with you I gladly pay with a piece of my soul.
Twisty twirl puff puff then deep breath, you make it all better my sweet Crystal Meth.

Free verse
I want to fly, to spread my wings
and sprinkle love on everything –
on every creature known to man
around this world and back again.
I want to soar, to duck and dive,
to race and tumble, feel alive!
To travel freely without care
and feel the wind blow through my hair!
I want to jump to highest heights!
And free fall just above the sight
of land, touch down, and jump once more;
then, rest my wings upon earth’s floor.
And, then, as I lay down to sleep,
I’ll sing to you sweet melodies
and pray for peace for all mankind
from now until the end of time.

You danced with me
under the youthful trees
no music played just
the summer breeze
you took my breath
with every touch
your words were perfect
you said just enough
i tried to hide
how you made me
feel because i knew
that We Just Couldnt Be
You already Had Your Girl
And I Was Just Someone
You Liked to Twirl
That night we spent
beneath the stars
when you told me
you loved me , and
showed me all your scars
that night i should have
held your hand
that night i didnt kiss you
when i should of had
But that night i was
someone elses girl
so all we shared was
a midnight twirl
on those swings
so many stories we
would tell
you were the first
that in love I fell !

~ Fall's Frolic ~
Rudderless winds swirl on high
Orange, yellow, red leaves
twirl as they fall from the sky
Form carefree circles
before they touch down
on crisp-scented predecessors
cushioning the ground
The day wanes; a chill is felt
a bloom, flushed-red
O'er tingling cheeks overspreads
One last heroic leap into
a leafy pile
Then skip indoors to the fireplace
to warm up for a while

What a marvelous feeling
Turn on the dance switch
- still a flower in the bud
The spare battery is charged
when Friday comes
I guess you are able
to keep up with my pace
Spinning and twirling
Cut loose,
in boogie, shag or belly dance
- the moon and the stars
will shine all night
- no time to sleep

Rain falls upon my face
I spread my arms out & embrace
as I inhale the warm summer breeze
I twirl like a little girl
life is alive & so am I..

Light Verse
Twirl and whirl
Dance and sing
Let love in
Bells will ring
Shake the room
Rock the floor
Dance till the sun rises
Once more
Stand in the rain
Let the drops roll
Down your face
Into your soul
Light the fires
Beat the drums
Stand in the light
Till the answer comes

Small red casting on morn's horizon
Shadowery fog cast veil on hill and vale
Symphony's music fills airwaves at dawn
Not a jet exhaust in sight no sign of swallowtail
Would be quiet except for man's presence
Man making his stamp on the world_ noisy
Wonder what it was like when Natives diligence
Fished, hunted kept the peace lived cloistered
Now the fiery red touches tops of trees
Like a blazing fire of yesteryear
When the Cherokee could forest green see
Did their future look bleak to their seers?
Change from quiet, peaceful to noisy world
No wonder our lives today are in a twirl

Twirl and Whirl - NK
though love may break
it won’t die
but shine bright
as a star
in the sky
deep in heart
forever
in the mind’s eye.
what’er will be is meant to be
love is a merry chance
a dream that has come true
it’s waltzing in moonlight
in flowering romance
to music of the night
slip on your dancing shoes
twirl whirl, free heart and soul and dance.
