wind swishes the leaves
spring green shimmies and shakes
nature's belly dance...

In the mild moonlight
of crickets and fierce 
swishes   
and my pondering heart....

Sink full of broken dishes
Have you back fills my wishes
To again be my Mrs.
Mug of fish swishes...

dark blonde hair swishes
willow tree's limbs in winter..
a gentle breeze blows

I am smart and lively running free 
my mane flutters behind my ears
charming single-minded that is me.

My tail swishes swaying in the breeze
I feel my nostrils fill with air 
I must be careful not to sneeze....

Kisses of candy wrappers
that bite delicious
You've come to be greater
than fights as vicious

When caramel is filling
and ooze for the flavor
That swishes go asking
your love of the labor

And all for the eating
that kisses remark
When loved for the feeling
of tasted on hark...

Christmas crazies conjure confections in candy kisses.
Wee whimsical winter warlock wistfully wishes
Dreamy darling dolly deliberately does dishes,
Fluidly forever fixing finest fluorescent fishes.
Seasoned sassiness scoring subtly in swishes.
Christmas crazies conjure confections in candy kisses....

Mom shrieks as I tap like Ginger Rogers on the kitchen floor.
The raggedy mop with rigid brows swishes me out the door.
With squinty eyes, the traffic cop regent-points to the yard.
Her majesty, with dish soap hands, wallops my cap, soft not hard.

.

Her eyes 
smile back
at his furtive glances
as she swishes sideways
and flings wet ebony hair 
over her left shoulder, 
revealing a lovely neck 
and nape.


With a towel, 
she caresses her
tresses, turns her head, 
twists the carefree 
sliver of hair. Hurriedly,
wrung water meanders
down, down her 
back.

Listen to poem:

The seashore is seldom silent,
never mourning nor forlorn,
for relentless waves 
called on the roll, roar in.

The play's cast of waves
cheered on by the wind,
stand up, 
break into applause,
take a bow
and curtain call 
together.

Whooping with delight
they crash, splash,
hiss and fizz,
peal endless
in crescendo swishes....

Seagulls roost on a dock
With calming tweets of song
But I wobble along
As night quivers 

Fleeting birds reel below
While tide swishes away
Lonely like wings of day
Mocked by despair

This pier screams for Bella
Her hair feathered in gold
Waved ruffles to behold
I drown---she’s gone.

Handsome brown eyes
Why oh why did you leave?
For when the breeze swishes
I can only hope it has granted you all your wishes
For when I look at you
I knew what I was getting myself into
The days went on the moments passed
I still remember looking back
Walking out of the band room was the hardest thing I had to do
But handsome brown eyes, I did it for you....

I wish I had a large pink magic eraser.
Jill gave me a mean look a few seconds ago.
So now I will erase her.

I begin at her feet, working my way up.
She is disappearing in swishes and slashes.
Her diabolical smile is the last thing I see.

My erasing is fierce now, as I erase that off her face.
As I rub her out entirely, I remember why I started
Cartooning a few years back....

Sheba the sexiest, severest sensual rabbit in Shellbyville
Walks in a seductive way that has the men all quiet and still.
Their wives are wishing she would swish and sashay out of town.
Watching her work those come-hither hips in her glitzy, beautiful gown.
She is truly the big cheese of femininity, says star-struck Mr. Huck.
Watching her swishes, wishing he was still a healthy young buck....

A saddening song swishes subtly in the bitter breeze, 

Mad mournful music meets me everywhere I move, 

Like a dolorous dirge drumming through the dark; 

Wistful winds wearily bring to mind stinging salt drops,  

All energy expended in trying to make sense of this forlorn fusion

As a painfully pensive psalm is penned down 
						in the ragged remnants of war...

spirit grass

wind wanders through 
invisible bison graze
raise dust devils that flirt with larks
buzzing insects in the air
swirl dip rise into the sun

swishes almost whispers
play around ears 
not quite within range for words
ghosts less than clear
more than shadows, skydance

green blades reach
between the bones of children
grandmothers, mothers, wise men
sweet red blood fed the roots
a time ago...

Spring time begins to lurk as winter snow melts
Pastel flowers peer from their cover 
Rapidly trying to make an appearance
Inching their way, hoping winter is over.
Nests begin to form and birds burst into song
Green grass grows and swishes in the wind
Time springs forward, losing that precious hour,
Individuals impatient for longer brighter days, as
Moments hastily pass by,  making heads spin
Ending in an instant much to their chagrin... Was that Spring?...

Let’s lose control
Let’s entice the soul,
With champagne swishes
Chilled in iced bowls.
From your head to your toes
Every nerve will explode, 
Every body sensation
I’ve cracked nature’s code.
It’s not on paper 
It’s what your face shows;
It tells me go fast
Then it tells me go slow,
Then blows my mind
Showing Lose control.
All exposed
The most radiant glow,
The most beautifulness thing 
Ever let go.
Lose control
Feel safe…there’s no foes,
Only me…Let go…
Lover Lose Control....
