Spring Storm

Peals of thunder pierced
Echoes roaring round the hills 
All air swirled round
Catching me off guard I jumped
Each echo ended in rain

Hand Of God

In divine intervention, a fate aligned
Trump rally chaos swirled, a grace defined
By God's own hand, the light resigned. Amen!

Unforgiven

Hush,
Listen,
Can you hear,
That purest echo was a mother’s tear,
Ssshhh,
Wait,
Feel the air that swirled,
A tiny soul has left this world.

in a yellow woods
i chose the path less leaf strewn
as beauty still clung

reds and oranges mixed
browns swirled in last minute
as autumn breathed

    home from work this fateful day

  Light breezes now, they laugh and play

there was a warthog who danced
who dipped, swirled, rocked, slid and pranced
to cut the rug and swing
was his favorite thing
until he danced off his pants

Coffee

Addiction
Luscious black
Captivating, intoxicating, alluring
A swirled aroma
Stimulating, invigorating, unforgetting
My bitter-sweet
Coffee

Premium Member feeings upon feelings

intense compulsive feelings
swirled upon other unnamed feelings
too many to name
overcoming her
he felt the storm as well
they had to quell it
so they did it together

Heat; Day's, Night's

Heat; day's, night's. The difference
Twixt caliph's oppressiveness
Swirled of sands about;
And what fine garbed, a-glitter
Offspring's, oozing sultriness
His own, lures back out.

A Few Flurries

they were
calling for snow 
clouds of doubt
swirled about
lingering
in view
one snowflake
gently landed 
on my windshield 
melting 
like my heart
holding
thoughts 
of you

Brewed Concoctions

aromatic and deep mahogany
decoction swirled with steam
a cupped nectar of rebirth
morning glimpses of heaven
first sip a remembrance
nuanced tincture
delicate demitasse
mmm...Mine

Out on a calm day, wind would gust she didn’t know
She was in distress when it swirled up her kimono.

they were waltzing to the delight of their wedding guests
magical moment captured by cameras around the room
happily forever after

They swirled around in the morning sun
Shaking off their slivers of warm dew
The produce watched in amazement
Wishing they had petals and stamen

Premium Member No Sense of Humor

Above her pretty head, swirled this dread rumor
  She'd absolutely no sense of humor ~
    Why? No one understood
    She found jokes dull as wood ~
  Seems her dad was this corny old boomer

Premium Member Extinction

life’s tactile musings
        swirled in silk calligraphy
             artfully adorned
  a keyboard’s chattered drone hails
    extinction – the soul dipped pen

Sunflower Moon

Across the face of a 
     Sunflower moon
     swirled a veil of cloud 
     gone too soon.

Sky-gazers asked, 
     guessed and argued:
     Was it the moon or cloud 
     or sky that moved?

Bouquet

He swirled the wine around his glass
and then he sniffed for its bouquet.
Some wilted flowers for his wife!
'A fine bouquet,' I heard her say.

Lee’s attitude was forever sanguine
optimism swirled out of her
her rosy joy filled stadiums
she expected everyone’s best
we always gave it to her
living up to her ideals
never wanting to disappoint her

Moon's Blank Slate

I extend my humble hand
out toward its delicate glow
Sparse, inky bristles await
note I will ask them to paint
The message is sweetly short
Dear blank page: brighten our night
Shine on! shadows swirled with light

Premium Member cumulonimbus

they rose majestic and magnificent
and swirled before my eyes
they stole my breath my heart
transported floated in the skies

and to the count of seven
I stood suspended in the vault of heaven
