Do I sacrifice art
For meaning?
Or meaning
For art?
A question,
In my mind circling,
An unresolved part.
Form:
Toying with the summer breeze.
Free... not a care in the world.
Falcon circling among the clouds.

Look! Splashing fat fish.
Circling gull hovers low,
eyeing breakfast dish

‘Circling the wagons’
is an absurd cliché
‘Cos even stations-wagons
are out-of-fashion today
circling,
almost still
over fields
of grain,
rings of mist-
repose
rest,inert
I thought she was the light in a dark room.
She had me circling the bright fumes
but I did not know.
She was the dark room.
The sparkle of the wind
Grazing over my soft skin
Leaving me breathless
Envelops my soul
Circling my tender heart
Filling me with love
sunday is a holiday
not for a poet in burning fire
who made days and weeks
sun was circling around the earth not too long ago
poor copper
Form:
The argosy moves along the mystic sea
The air mephilic to the nose
The sky is foggy and gray
The ernes are circling about looking for finny
Earth's axis tilting
Circling around the sun
Winter has begun
Pink fluff ball in the sky
Evergreens lean in for a closer look
Songbirds begin circling the puff ball
A mystical night signifying world changes
Lifer
It’s all for life
giving a life for life
circling the world
while spreading the word
we crave for the source
as we all live to die
The fiber of me
drawn into their sweep
up
away
and back again
my breath and bone
fused into wing
vertigo
when the doves
are circling.
Boredom kills you slowly, piece by piece, and bite by bite. Boredom waits circling slowly, round and round, like a vulture waiting for its next meal.
One cricket rubs legs
Singing his jimminey song
Crows are silent now
No vultures fly high circling
A quiet autumn twilight
He sat alone as outcast.
Cut himself off all family and friends.
Dark thoughts circling above him.

Swans
graceful, silent
gliding, bowing, drifting
feather, water, light, sky
shimmering, circling, returning
ancient, eternal
Lake
Beneath dark clouds gathering
a sparrow walks, shivering,
circling in the mud of winter,
his wing a broken splinter.
He's unable to fly into spring.
The cat can chase
The mouse can run
Circling around circles
Twisting around and around
Bending this way and that way
Till we reach death
My grandma
I see her
Seating on her bed
Pillows propped with cotton
Circling her like witches
Around a cauldron pot
Her skin glowing
From her light within.
Toying with the summer breeze.
Free... not a care in the world.
Falcon circling among the clouds.

Infinite Loves Pi
Circling souls, forever one,
Decimal twirls, a spiral kiss
Endless loop, hearts entwined
Burning bright, love's endless climb.
circling above clouds
trouble’s first inclination
reroute to memphis
wait for hours and hours
making headway - through my book

His fire surrounds you,
Like a veracious hunger,
Circling goddess,
His breath upon your wet flesh,
Until you quench his fire.

The wonderful Wedge-tailed Eagle
Now there’s a bird that’s regal
Circling high in the sky
Nothing escapes it’s eye
So you’d better watch out for your Beagle.
