Best Whirl Poems

How is it that you know it?
A spark, a flash, a sudden thought,
Is it that you know how?
In the silence, wisdom links ought.
Know you how it is that?
You know it is that how?
That is how you knew it!

When was it that you knew it?
A moment...

She flows, flows while petals spread their vibrant blooms
On April's mural , those lips dare to tease...
Her contours trailing with velour costumes
Wildly ablaze, to ride on spring’s trapeze.

This ambrosial drift which shines ,which glows 
From heaven’s mold granting dahlia's trance
Enchanting a whirl, my shade of...

I was preparing a blue-berry cake for supper,
Foaming it saw some spinning rings on the syrupy mixture 
It reminded me of the sequence of cosmos;
As the planets spin on their ever homely compass
The sugar, flour, soda and the eggs 
Circling still inside my food processor.

I...

Leaves spinning and whirling swinging and swaying to the beat
of the wind drums pulsating and rapping to their rhythmic jive
we dance all of our madness into the darkness together...

Whimsical love-in-a-mist
Himalayan blue poppy
Elegant lily of the Nile
Graceful columbines
Playful balls of hydrangea
Ravishing blue daisy
Humble globe thistle
Delicate flax blooms
Sublime forget-me-nots
Breathtaking cornflower
Exquisite blue anemone
Blooms of every shade of blue
Paradise for me and you

a dream as years go by,

water clock drip ticks,
another revolution,

minutes flown away,

hearts fluttered wide,
sepia childhood silhouetted,

a grip lost in snap-the-whip,

and glimpsing restless spirits,
crowding heaven’s gate,

gold plated, iron bound,

others just waiting,
familiar indistinct,

while clouds like knotted cotton,

frame a high blue portico above,
a formless basilica,

slow vision of his...

One more chance with you, one more chance with you                                   ...

Tonight it starts again.
The longing for something I can’t have.  
A life that is meaningful.  
I claw and scrape the surface of humanity.  
A bubble that wont’ be burst.  
I am on the outside looking in.  
Tilt-o-whirl dreams spin out...

Acquired for fire whirl

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...

Don't. Can't. Won't. Listen. Listen.
My mind is awhirl. Too much of that stuff.
Life is redundant. My friends are boring.
My parents are fussy. Absolutists.
No room for me. I try to get in my truth.
Screaming it out in looks
For I am not allowed to speak
Unless spoken to....

World Peace with a Whirl

What things make your mind start to spread?
Out and broaden while hearing what was said
Through the clammer and constant commotion
Mixed in with my love and much devotion.

When not prejudiced and unbiased you are
In all of the world, you will go infinitely...

Shadowed memories, I try to recall,
darkened by pain, and emotions so raw.

You were a player, I knew from the start,
I thought I could change you, with this loving heart.

Some things were never meant to be,
I wasn't enough for you, but you were for me.

Heartbroken and...

Hmm! Methinks I've just hit a wall
A damn rare occurrence for me
Not worried even a little bit though
My thoughts will soon be set free

Must be ready to go with the flow
And not think the well has run dry
A momentary wee glitch in the action
Best not...

The dandelion, a broad-leaf perennial, 
life with very distinct stages.
Don’t confuse it with a biennial
cause this plant has five changes.

Seedlings made of yellowish leaves
form a basal rosette, oval in shape.
And as it ages the oval achieves
a very different kind of fate.

As the plant begins to...
