Premium Member A Simple Whim- POTD
How I wish to scuttle alone,
over a gentle river,
from bank to bank,
in a small boat,
rowed with a bamboo pole.

The call of the wild is an irresistible call,
to venture into the silken waters,
to feel the wind and look at the blue sky
with nimbus clouds drawing strange...

Premium Member Whim Justice
What's happened here?
I asked, 
I asked again...
and where to reclaim.

For I've lost something precious (so dear to me)
and someone or something's to blame
and will I be repaid in heaven's name? 
To be sure, I'll find peace in justice, heh
justice in life..
heh!    

Where...

A Wistful Whim
I dreamt of a home of my own as a child
where the air is always pure and mild, 
Where birds and animals did freely roam
and frolic in the soap bubbles and foam.

A house on a tree by the rolling stream,
Atop a vanilla cake or cherry...

Simile Whim
Once upon a whim
As an excavating limb
of a tractor under-tucked
the feed it hoisted up,
It seemed as though it goes
Akin to an elephant’s nose.

When later the machine
Departed from the scene
With scary points hung in
beneath the folded limb,
Its appearance was akin
to a giant scorpion....

Premium Member On a Whim, We Swim
Sitting by the beach one summers day
I turned to my girlfriend to say
Shall we go for a swim
It's cold not too grim
Splish splashing in love do we play

Two bodies now exit the cold blue
Only one of us appears to be true
Now shapely and pert
Her body...

An Anklet of Whim
I am a woven thread of red, white and yellow,
I make hundred emotions mellow,
I transcend your walk into a flight of swallow,
With chimes, I fulfill nature’s hollow.
 I am a woven thread with possible decors,
You love the way I adore,
I see the world through your...

Snow drops cascading at my window

Premium Member On the Whim of the Wind
No rooster crowed the tenebrous morning
I woke to somber skies aflame.
As dawn rose across a crimson horizon,
a firestorm blazed from a golden core
and scarlet lava flowed above the plains.

Charred, were black mordant clouds.
Menancingly, they swept over my barn.
A rubicund threat; a hazard to the earth,
an...

Whim:
I am a little boy called Whim,
Inside your heart I swim,
I am your invisible trim,
I weave the nonsense dreams!!
I make you smile like baby,
I make you pop candies,
I make you hug the soft teddy,
I make you a cry baby.
I teach you to love the old...

Premium Member A Bully Named Whim
There once was a bully named Whim.
None of us children could stand him.
He was sneaky, mean, and no fun.
Worst of all, the principal's son.
His chances of friendship were slim....

I

I had an idea
Far to the back of my mind
It wasn’t clear
A glint not a shine

I had a thought
Couldn’t pin it down
I had a dream
In my dressing gown

I had a whim
Grabbed at thin air
I can’t swim
Throw me a chair

I hunted gold
Hacked with my pick
I caught...
