Spring Whimsy

winter packs his trunk
 full of icy fleece and flakes ~
  going south for spring

spring unpacks her bags 
 rolls out green hills with poppies ~
 mustard carpets glens 

vernal daylight sighs
 sheds a winter overcoat ~
  nature somersaults

sassy daffodils
 troubadours of...

Grab that whimsey, don't wipe the blow.
The feeling, of fear, starts to grow
Creepy tendrils that dart around
In your head, they can't be bound

Unleash the power of your poetry,
That is what empowers the poet free.
Let it flow from heart to page, 
And let your imagination rage.

WHIMSY in the dictionary is a word
that’s often silly and absurd
it’s magical and conjures such delight
as bewitching as a nymph or sprite
it’s quirky zany delicately flimsy
the mere word WHIMSY
dancing across my lips
elevates my every mood snips

WHIMSY unbolts a drawer of bling
reaches in deep where everything
I...

Whimsy

Cunning, quick-witted

Driving,  thrusting, liberating

Souls connection, awakening the self

effectuating, heeding, heading

staunch, steadfast

Realism

It's the greatest whimsy that ever was.
Because..Because..Because..
I'm off the ground, to go to the moon.
I'm off the ground, in my red balloon.
I'll fly by day.I'll fly by night.
I'll fly by air, when the time is right.

It's the greatest whimsy that ever was.
Because..Because..Because..
Whimsical whimsy-whimsy why? 
Because...

life forces in night skies
winds that howl in blue whimsy

gods blowing midnight stars about
stirring brews of celestial harmony

unrehearsed they swirl and whirl
churning turbulence in a vignette 

perform their euphony of a ballet
volatile they cavort and pirouette

tossing around their glitter
spinning in a dance
wild commotion
in my mind
of...

Classical infusion Beethoven’s “ode to joy”
Playing on blaring audiophile speakers annoy 
Purposely looped to destroy vagrants with electronic music
Blends of subversive elements and anxious acoustic 
Solution to loitering the bodega doo dropping
Spicy Shiitake broth smelling pissy store front, 
Jaded daily stunt, at midnight wino corks...

Things Grow Legs

Sometimes, I swear, things grow legs
Recipes, scissors, car keys in place
But when I look they move away
To floors, newspaper piles – hiding spaces.

We almost hear them laugh, or sneer, 
“Catch me if you can – over here.”  
Out of sight, out of...

Carol is a crocodile with big long pointy teeth,
She likes to hide in lakes under the surface, just beneath.
She doesn’t want to bite your legs or eat you in one chew,
She only wants to sneak up close behind you and shout “Boo!”...

Hairy Nora reads the Torah from daybreak until dusk.
She’s got four different colored legs, but not a single tusk.
There’s a birdie sitting on her back that moves and sways like Elvis,
Her ears are crinkly when they’re pressed and there’s a mirror on her pelvis.
Now I’ve...

“Alf it’s dinner time!” cried mum as she finished off the cooking.
“Where is that naughty boy?” she moaned, “I’d better go a-looking”
She looked across the lawn and he was nowhere to be seen.
He was hiding, lying in the grass because he is bright green.
Alf chuckled...
