Whizzing round the bend
gritted teeth,
Nearly met my end.

If 2:00 a.m. is still
  What is 2:30?
  What is 3:00?
    ~ Even stiller...

Outside it's stellar
  Stars whizzing by
yet inside it's stiller
  take a painkiller
    ~ but why...

My head is spinning so fast it will not stop,
It's whizzing around like a spinning top.
My brain is buzzing like a bee,
I'm going so fast I cannot see.
I feel so tired I want to drop....

We all threw our ideas into the air
Some came down, some fluttered and landed on heads.
Some flew off, whizzing and swirling, knowing what to do.
It is amazing when they take on a mind of their own…....

Off to battle, they rode so jolly
  Reached the front line, saw their folly

Bullets whizzing, shrapnel flying
  Grown men weeping, many dying

Returning home, they hung their heads
  Brave hopes and dreams, long since dead...

Hummingbird Comsumate Me  Kiss The Lips  by  James Edward Lee Sr.

Oh!  such desired flower whizzing hummingbird consoling--
Bill hovers that fill petals bottom pollinated,
Consummation succulent petals envelope me so...

Souped-up rolling solid shields
for little tiny cars.
Speeders breezing through the wind
for living honored stars.

Racers whizzing through the current
tingling from their blood.
Frightened feeling they can't stop
accompanying them to fud....

Buzzing above me
Whizzing through shadowy flight
Stabbing fangs in skin
Causing welts and itchy bites
Festering plots slay these pests

For Nette Onclaud's contest, 
"Into the Hexaline Groove"
dated 08/05/2025


On highway roads, we ply
With the wind in our hair, 
Vehicles whizzing by, 
We ride without a care, 
Sudden brakes applied - hey! 
Elephants block our way!!

open heart
willing hands
happiness abounds

maniacal feelings
lithium helps
sheer sadness now

high on life
whizzing around room
love for strangers

cutting begins
worthless feelings
life seems hopeless

joyfulness out of bounds
entertaining love for life
falling to doom...

     The world is in a whirl
        whizzing its way along
     Topsy-turvy, turvy-topsy
        straight lines all curvy

     What is asked from us
        but to exit that bus
     to escape the crush 
        to avoid the rush

     To slow down and find
        truth amidst the hush

What is is we call life?
A mash of parapsychological events,
Some that vessel sweetness and soul,
Some that conjure misery and toll
For our most unmoonlit moments
Can be most silvery and resplendent to another
Life and Time as it seems
Are but humming moments 
Who warble the song of a whizzing dream...

Ink flowing from my pen
Like bullets from army men
Pounding of machine guns whizzing all around you
This pen of mine is violent it can kill emotions too

I write these scars to make them see
How painful their words can be
Open your eyes fools for now it’s your turn
The bullet effect you must now learn......

Bullet holes through the heart
Like rot we're torn apart
Stuffed into a hollowed dart
Shot into a deer 
Caught in the headlights of a steer

Burning the carcass of an ex-lover
Setting the past ablaze
Hoping to negate the curse of puppy-love
Cupids arrows whizzing through the night
Searching for a broken heart to kill....

This poison I've ingested, manipulates my veins;
It captivates my once sound mind, with the sickness that remains.
Bittersweet, I crave to taste, what is now my new demise;
Manic now, I lose myself, in sick pleasures I despise.
Catatonic fantasies, are a technicolor blur;
Whizzing past me in a daze, cold alone and with no cure....

I'm a poet taster,
discovering ways 
to make my words sing.
Using voice to guide 
you through my world,
or what I choose to
share of it.
It's intoxicating,
sitting down with a pen in hand. 
In my head, I'm whizzing 
through a sandy beach,
with the sun in my face,
and my horse under me.
(Tranquil, soft, sweet.)
I'm a poet taster....

Woman at a stop.

She stood at the stop
Cracking knees, stooping shoulders
Mothball odors
Medicine pores,
Disparate thoughts, waves of empty,
Numb buzzing nothingness
Imbibing vibrations of motorists,
Whirring, whizzing by
Crumpled yellow sere sheaves blow 
By the venous sheer skin, her feet
Swollen out of her shoes
She waits,
For the bus....

When it rain, it pours
It's like opening every doors
Whizzing wind, Whispering breeze
Makes your senses at ease.

When it rain it pours
It's like knocking every doors
Thunder here, lightning there
Awaking your sense somewhere.

When it rain it pours
It's like sweeping every floors
Homes are wet, walls have tears
Taking every dirt and fears....

Fireworks!

Lights sparkling
Ruby delight
Fizzing, whizzing
Glistening night

Bright diamonds
Golden rain
Blasting, rasping 
Again and again

Rays flashing 
Shattered drops
Dashing, splashing
Cannon ball shots

Wild explosions 
Busting high 
Booming, zooming
Bejewelled sky 

 Folks laughing
Gusty cheers
Glimmering, shimmering 
Chandeliers...

soaring upon a brisk winter breeze
my mind on fast forward surfing
along in opposite directions cant
slow down the breeze up lifting
my entire self  my cheeks blood 
red twisting, turning whizzing by
flying thru the sky  white fluffy
clouds a hand span away
like my mind almost so
close to scramble back
together thats creeping its 
way slowly slipping away
in this unquiet mind....

Snake in bed

Gliding is old brownie ,
up upon my tortured bed,
felt him lurching on me doona,
he struck, I kicked, he fell instead.

whizzing round the bed he was,
tossing pillows at him then
have to go n watch tv
put him on the puter Fred

yes a going back to bed ,
get a bit more sleeping time,
get this snake out of me head,
he’ll be gone by dinner time

Today I helped an
old man cross a
bright,  busy street.

Taciturn, somber
he never asked
for help or anything,

cars whizzing by, 
office zombies and
children shuffling by.

Only some force of
inexplicable familiarity 
laced our heels together,

braving traffic together
nondescript,  inseparable 
chums from curb to curb,

til we turned a dark corner
and just like that he was
gone....

Chew Chew Chew Tear Tear Tear
Dance of the dog; bone in the air.
Throw and catch. Catch and throw.
Playful puppy. No! No! No!

He’s on the couch, now on the chair.
A bull goes whizzing high in the air.
Jump Jump Jump Jump and Play.
He’s loyal and happy, every day.

Chew Chew Chew Tear Tear Tear
Here he comes. The big galoot.
He is on my lap. Woot! Woot! Woot!
Dance of the pup; I happily scoot....

                              whizzing through the grass

                            with sun and wind in her hair -

                                         unique vehicle

                              world's rivers are drying up

                              watermelon quenches thirst
