whoosh, whirr,
Beware! Beware!

Gloves and Helmets on.
Polish, sweep, mop.
Cool air.

The dove of the night has flown
With the whirr of his wings a song
By the early light his coo no wrong
And the signs of spring reminds us strong
As the cold lingers on, could he be gone

Skinny long legged

for Sally Whitcomb Keen
1936-2016
You are stillness docked on
an invisible cloud couch,
the unflagging whirr
of your wings’ wishes stirs
a lifetime’s memories,
O magical humming bird!
O marvelous Sal!

Lyric
In the silence
There is a humming
A hint of life’s
Forever whisper.
The whirr of atoms
Spinning galaxies
Iron rails singing
Un-clappered bells
Repeating a lost call
A vibratory vastness
Seeking validation
A raindrop

Trust the wind.
Trust its caress.
Leaves teach;
Birds call;
Fans whirr.
The metal--
The space of blades asks:
"Am I not
The blowing curtain,
The ant that crawls,
The day that dawns,
Beyond quiet,
Beyond time?
Takes my breath away.

An artist brush strokes
Cobalt Blue clouds 'pon morn's sky
Entwined with sun's shine
Gray Dove's wings whirr lifting them
Above danger into blue

The Maple's leaves have turned amber
Paired Doves whirr in flight
Tiny green tips the Pecan Trees
Great puffed clouds in sight
The Catbird dives for pool's water
Bumblebees buzz with might
Seeking some sweet nectar rare
As my spirit soars to heights

WHIRR!
The noise
Hair-Dryer
Nails Polished Pink.
It's her first prom night.
Drenched in waves of blue silk
And black shoes with heels to kill.
Not a strand out of place on a
Nervous seventeen-year-old's blonde head.
The lights shine tonight for the ballroom's belle.

There is a hum to morning
an accustomed to whirr
softly grinding gears
electrical whispers
gentle creaking of awakening wood
satisfied exhale
of a still slumbering dog
purr of a sun warmed cat.
I lie still and listen
to this too often unheard
Symphony.

Sleepless
Dogs are howling.
Cats are yowling.
Stomach's growling.
Just want a nap.
Mowers mow.
Blowers blow.
Planes are low.
Please, a bit of kip.
A fly astir .
An AC's whirr.
Roaring roadster.
Just forty winks.
Telly's off.
Party's over.
Almost aslee...
Have to pee.

Seasons passage humming goodbye
Still my capricious heart still lie
Veiling a life of fulfilment
My fervent wavering torment
Heart whirr fill of fluttering blue
Butterflies weave in escape queue
Within infinitude of grief,
Death has stolen, there's no relief
Share with me your smile in a fluttering leaf

Joyous Noel
Splendorous with foil
Foiling the weather,
Birds fluffing feathers,
Joyous Noel
Keeping warm with kindness,
Strong with pine scents
Trees sparkling white, contents
Joyous Noel!
Let none be voiceless
Voicing all of this churr,
A gently stirred whirr.

a labyrinth of feelings twist me up
Covid shot put me into a semi-dead-zone
warmth of sun gives me a glimmer of hope
whirr of air conditioner annoys my dog ears
I am fearful of my giant charging pony dogs
they both weigh more than I weighed as a bride
I feel refreshed by the coolness of this October day
Other feelings felt simultaneously refuse to take the lead.

I loathe the sound of modern life
man made machine, electric knife
chainsaw rip through old oak bough
it seems so inhumane, somehow
give me peace, tranquillity
the robins chirp, the creek of tree
buzz of bee, or croak of toad
maybe I am getting old
not for me the the whirr of drill
tranquillity and air of still
is all I ask this gorgeous day
take your ruinous things away

Verse
The glowing light 'pon sparse clouds
Radiates a golden glow
Orange marmalade sun tips the far
horizon and waltzes slow
Light changes slowly to clear bright
The birds' chorus crescendos
Joined by the whirr of a hummer
Mornings sung in tempos
The plural of Crescendo can be crescendos, crescendoes, or crescendi
The plural of Tempo can be tempos or tempi..

light switch in the dark
fright switch
whirr of wings
unallocated
swift hither
pulse race over ice
bat
on the ceiling
fridge top
skitter of featherless wings
timid fear in the air
now clinging to a skillet hook
throw open the screen
wait
blurred flight-pass
out now
thread carefully
sew together a scattered panic
put heartbeats
back into their drum
make coffee
puzzle the moments

With a whirr and grind
Slowly creeps up inching along
Then the banging sounds
The "Bobcat" reaches his paw
Out as far as it can
Pulling back black plastic
Discarded cardboard boxes
Tidbits of vegetables, file thirteen coupons
Last nights scrapes
Then the male voices
Men in banana yellow shirts
Permanently stained
Men who come once or twice weekly
Creeping along
Getting the tough smelly job done..

The burst soapsuds dissipate.
Six doves outside my window
Enjoy their meal, congregate.
Wings whirr, head to the gingko
Baby phoebes see surroundings.
With wide mouths expose tastebuds
Hunger each day compounding!
I look, then see burst soapsuds
So much happening outside my kitchen window view that I forget the dishwater is getting cold and chores going undone.

Lights flicker,
buttons ping,
new clicks whirr
in the beautiful machine.
My head slides,
my eyes turn, peer in,
gaze:
magnetized by novelty, in this tiny
maze, slinking ever further, further in.
Purring springs exhale steel-sweet breath;
my narrow eyes glide between busy twirling cogs;
my ears perceive the melodies of electronic hums.
Then, snap!
I failed to hear the mind hiss
inside its trap.

My eyes had been shut less than six minutes when I woke up
to a faint dangerous creaky sound.
Front door opening? Grandchild whine? Ominous whirr next to my ear.
Mosquito or bee.
Neither welcome.
I woke immediately,
Jumped away from the covers.
Expecting a bite or a pinch.
Neither happened.
Listened harder.
Neighbor’s saw meant no nap for me today.
Or was it my imagination?
Unsure, but safe now.

Snow falling down from the heavens
Birds floating round in a whirr
The worlds most breath taking moments
That was before there was her.
Stars sparkling high in the night sky
A sunset that made the world stir
All of these things were perfection
That was before there was her.
The world for a breath stopped turning
The most beautiful moment that where
Never had there been such completeness
Never until there was her.
