Spring and summer swoosh and swish
Seasonal changes squeezed and squashed
Winter and fall flow past by
Like all the yummy treats you buy...

snatching of branches
side to side bending a-swoosh ~
        passerines hold fast

The temperate swoosh of grand sea in the bathtub half full.
   Sudden ripple of thunder and lightning in competitive swim.
Dissolution of soap and shampoo, bare naked towel.

radio waves, sound waves, and ocean waves,
wave bye-bye to the moments of the tide...

they wave in unison....

       swoosh and whoosh

they wave asunder as the full moon of madness reflects on....

In a crystal ball
I see you fall

With a swoosh of a wand
I see you in a pond


Some evil witch has cast a spell
To make you smell,

But in the end your fate
All falls with your mate

Whether a magician, or
Witch, or sorcerer...

song birds so bright
wings in flight, a
sweet sight for me

swoosh, they are gone
back with song, when
it's dawn again

robins swoosh around
up and down the pear tree stands
gails blew pollen dusts

robins left the tree
fearing a storm will blow hard
the pear tree was sad

a new pair dropped by
finches revel with raindrops
pear tree smiled, birds soothed...

White
sand beach,
alive with 
laughter, children's
squeals, grown-up shouts, the
swoosh, swoosh of waves against
the shore, a distant rumble
of thunder - symphonic sounds of
summer on a sweltering July
day in the Sunshine State of Florida....

Hear the soft pitter patter dancing off the roof?
A cleansing rain plummets the drain, offering
up its truth..
It sloshes streets and people's feet as it
clears the atmosphere.
Umbrellas swoosh, windshield wipers whoosh,
and life is slower here.....

Mint Duet

Tongues swathed in mint
  Trestlework of undulation
    Swoosh of utter breezes
      The cool tingling sensation

Your body twists in a thousand ways
How do you twist so freely?

So, Hurricane of mine carry me in your twist too
The movement is Dangerous
The swoosh of it knocking people down
I want to be in your movement
 
I want to be dangerous too
Violent and deadly Hurricane of mine...

A flash of lore
A contour of light
A shadow of awe
A birth of flight

A leap of faith
A hardwood stare
A tongue smitten
A signature of air

A game to envy
A will to win
A court to rule
A child of the rim

A legend of ball
A shoe of flight
A world palmed by
A swoosh named Mike...

chirping from up a nest,

      a feeble chick longs to fly,

            while swallows swish

                  and swoosh in the sky...


                  as a tadpole wiggles

            by the reed's faint ripple,

      wanting to leap, to croak,

till its lungs puff purple....

Stop Look Listen!

This Emergency is Dire

I've Perched myself on a Telephone Wire

Crowds have gathered below 

I'm starting to Perspire

I do not want Money or to Be known as Sire

All I Ask to soothe my Psyche

Is a simple pair of sneakers with a swoosh 

And the letters spelled N-I-K-E...

Family enjoys picnic by river
 A lad swings from
       tire above
         river
          swoosh!
       breeze
     in his
   face, he smiles
   sailing with glee
 Splash!, he makes a touchdown in calm waters

Swoosh, woosh, down an alpine slope my skis glide,

Kicking up mists of pristine, powdered snow.

Impassioned by an evergreen hillside,

In the breeze, my cheeks brisk with rosy glow.

Now, nestled between mountain peaks I ride,

Gazing, from the lift, at motions below.

Oars slap water,
a heron
watching, fishing, being still as
stone.

An early sun
crashing through the mist
intent on warming eggs.

Oars sweep a clunky-swoosh,
white wake burbles.

Row slow
By the time the kitchen is reached,
It will be minutes before breakfast,
there will be bacon.

Oars slap water,
gently, ever so gently....

     Shivers sent up spine.

Book, read a thousand times 
thundered through deaf ears.

     Whip's swoosh sings in harmony.

Words break through foam
waves crash, sentences press
imprints in wrinkled
blood soaked flesh.

     Change will be forced upon us.

Your words are
a series of tumbling incisions
that contour
my dovish frame,
before your lips
swoosh across
and slice
this canvas of
marrow and bone,

Lo!
How each utterance
metamorphized into
stippling strokes
that hue my corporeal parchment,
as gushing scarlet rivulets
gallop to fill the void
left behind
by your blade’s
final adieu

The clicking needles replaced by whoosh
as wool loops interlock
the rapid growing fabric - swoosh
the pattern in punched blocks.

No knit one purl to rib a cuff
the endless counting past
but really I have had enough
the joy in craft is lost.

To set a pattern into its place
and feel the wool in hand
no machine can ever replace
the craft a knitter’s planned...

Swish, swoosh
Sky high she goes
A wondrous movement
Taking form in the air
She moves rapidly
A back and forth motion
Quickly she moves
Twisting within heights unknown
Hollering with all her might
Listening to her voice
As she sways
She hears herself
As she’s moving
Through the air
Swinging
She swings with soul
And with a joyful
Giggle
