Short Somersault Poems

Glimpsing his silhouette,
her heart does a somersault-
A crafty seduction....

Up, down, manji gamei 
Flack on shoulders, somersault 
Quadruple full flip...

Let go
The trapeze bar
Somersault through the air
Hands reach out blindly to be caught
Will they?...

Softly,
Love's kisses
Wrapped in rainbows,
Will somersault in clouds
Of gardenias,
Dancing around
Celestial heavens!...

Svelte Sylvia loved acrobatics
She did it in gyms and in attics
She did a pole vault
And a triple somersault
She is known as a fitness fanatic...

Softly,
I blow Love's kisses
To you...
Wrapped in rainbows,
To somersault in clouds
Of gardenias,
Dancing around
Celestial heavens

Softly love's kisses
      Wrapped in rainbows
            Will somersault
In clouds of gardenias
     Dancing around
           Celestial heavens

Spring to me
Is daffodils
Places on a sun-lit window sill.

Spring to me
Is birds that fly
And somersault in the sky.

Spring to me
Is buds that burst
As sudden rain fills their thirst...

The current so strong
The waves holding your heart; 
Calling, pulling you 
Yet so dangerous a draw;
Running full force 
Knocked down, lifted up;
flipped somersault 
Out of breath bliss on the shore...

UPSIDE DOWN
inverted, topsy-turvy
unhinging, disorienting, confusing
puzzle, somersault; details, viscera
twisting, wearing, turning
front to back, socks
INSIDE OUT

Somersault, flips and swings like an oar
Cup of salt, flings and stings on floor
Powder of talc, smoothens all
Slides and glides over all
Skip, stretch, turn or twist
Huff, puff like whist
Heart and soul
Fly high
Hop...

I cant explain the happy mood
Im feeling at this time
It makes me want to somersault
And twist and twist around

I feel as if i might just fly
Feeling really light
I can't explain the happy mood
Im feeling at this time

But i hope that after reading this
You'll smile all the time......

Happiness comes from within
and with confidence and pride
no doubt, you'll surely win
Don't give in
to giving up
Even though all seems corrupt
I learned through many chapters
I've learned through things I tried
I've learned through tears I've cried
So somersault any frown
Don't you feel down
Happiness, a smile buys...

I wish to fly.
Up in the clouds on high.
In the thermals to rise.
High in the sky's.
Oh, what joy to swoop and glide.
Somersault and slide.
Heavenly vistas to see.
Far away over the sea.
Gliding along, singing a song.
Happy, all the day long.
See for miles ,face wreathed in smiles.
Higher than anyone has been.
In my flying machine....

stardom of the year
on its welcoming music
ushers our new dreams

culminate great task
snog the sweet and bitter past
cool somersault starts

blow New Year's trumpets 
commence it with smiles and cheers
have a joyful year

Clocks somersault to drive time;
Can we stop time by breaking all clocks and alarms?

The Earth somersaults to sail through years and centuries;
Would we request our ship to pause the aging of mankind?

The Light somersaults from dawn to dusk;
Could we order this planet to stop it's revolutions around the sun?

Lives somersault from good to bad;
But we can walk gracefully without bad deeds....

In life before, we did each chore
Before we headed out the door
Or in-between what was routine,
We’d clean or check our iPhone screen.

The major stuff, which was enough
To sometimes make us huff and puff,
Took up our days, with shops, cafés,
Museums, plays and hotel stays.

But by default, we’ve had to halt
What we exalt and somersault
Into a space where we’ve replaced
What we embraced. Ah, what a waste!...

Flitting's like floating
only with 
the least amount
and most
ineffectual
intention.

Intention
without
clarity
without
conviction
without
direction
without
without.

Each waft
a contravention.

Somersault of
summer
butterflies,
but better:
butterflits...

Plummer salts
of Winter,
snowfalls
but better:
snowflits...

Though flitting's 
altogether fitting
if near-enough
to Surrender
is your kind of
Splendor....

You better put on your walking shoes
 I've  had about enough of you,
those words you say when your anger rages
 pushes me to reach my final stages
and all the years of your abuse
 beg me to set you free and loose;
so grab your coat, your shoes, your pants
 your time has exceeded this circumstance
when I took it in and excused your faults
 but this is it, the final somersault, 
put on your walking shoes
 your turn to carry the blues....

Memories

If one could store them
in the attic without stir 
and turn to other things,

to picking fruit, perhaps,
or seeding it, one could afford
the dalliance of an hour

for one would have the years
one knows will not be those
whose paralytic youth has just begun,

the years whose summer plea
for laughter and for kiss 
somersault the hair 

and scimitar the smile: the years
the sun, the moon, the stars
can never order stop.

"Dreams do this, Catcher" 

mystery in the heart
misleads the kiss
the kiss bleeds 
like a somersault
backwards 
into the comfort
of the dream

we find hidden notes 
written in the music 
we miss the heart’s 
true translation 
we turn the page
we get down 
on our knees

too late the prayers 
are taken in the plate
alms waiving 
backstop 
out of the park 
the soft fall 
shot hard 

left field
right field

catcher
