Short Awhirl Poems

Autumn approaches
Her brisk winds send leaves awhirl
Lone leaf loses grip






For Ricks contest...

 off the wall dancing
electric blue shoes awhirl

I ordered a large pizza pie
What do you want on it asked guy
His question a pearl
Set my mind awhirl
A sexy young girl answered I...

Boris and Natasha's minds were awhirl
As the Russia probe facts did unfurl.
Let's end the confusion
There was no collusion
Was fake news of moose and of squirrel....

happy day
squirrel ballet
tutus a twirl
laced slippers awhirl

never a bore
fluffy tails spinning
prima donnas are winning

happy day happy day
loving this squirrel ballet...

Brain splitting in two
The mind in constant fission 
To sever the fruit

Consciousness fading
The mind is put asunder 
A crack is shaping

Internal conflict 
My mind afflicted and awhirl 
Oh the need to rest

Confining the eyes
Drift away on silent wings
A better day nears...

I live for
Those moments in the deep of the night
Lying awake
The world full of romance
As if it were the Moulin Rouge
Something that feels eternal
Pounding through my head
My mind awhirl
Everything is within reach
Beauty!
Freedom!
Truth!
Love!
My soul is soaring
My mind alight
I live for these moments....

Jammed some fun into one day
Aboard kayaks, paddling play
Mangroves, stingless jelly fish
And in my head, a hand itched

In beats, a beach reggae-tunes
Crashing waves upon the dunes
As curling smiles seemed to mock
Monster cruiser at the dock

Yellow sun did set too fast
Dashing night on anchor cast
Awhirl the sea’s brooding deep
Yesterdays pile on the keep

Within the celestial void
my energy goes to blend
with yours and then,
as our atoms spread,
they whirl and tumble
through everlasting ether.

Silence deafens
as human consciousness
becomes part of space-wind
all awhirl that tumble
through black holes
filled with stardust.

Made from the universe,
so we will return
perhaps to be more
perhaps to know where we are
as we whirl and tumble
through no-time, no-place,
eternal space....

Peaceful as a fawn
Gone before dawn
The angel now closes her eyes

Crying in pain
Tears fall as rain
The angel’s in pain as she cries

Chaos sets in
Reality within
Another angel screams at the skies

Angel whisked away
Stolen from the fray
Angels hoping their eyes show them lies

Future unknown
Frightened alone
Two angels left to find their own way

Brave little girls
Heads all awhirl
Two angel’s lives where changed this day...

The Bulldog Has Become A Mom

A blink ago she was our babe in arms;
Then turn around; and there the smiling girl -
Around again - the strong young woman,
Then wed, and another shares her charms.
Now she strides through life, our perfect pearl,
Embracing all the ways of being human.
Now she graces the gifts of motherhood
With all its joys and false alarms,
Bearing well it all, her world awhirl
Its challenges well understood
As all about, a little Chaos swarms....
