Short Woosh Poems

All is Silent,
Woosh, 
Boom,
Woosh, woosh, woosh.
It all happens again, 
and
Again....

the flock of doves rest
        on the grass with fallen seed
                all rise in a woosh

trees sway to and fro
the woosh of seasonal change
brazen moods of fall

the chase is on as
falling leaves migrate to earth
leaf piles my fortress...

Cars fly by me, woosh.
crossing the street, hurry...run!
Is this the right street?
oops, wrong way, turn around... here?
Left, tall city, loud, need map....

To lover,my soul
opens inward so much pain
woosh clean

Shared, now free
not lost,understood,woosh
broken bits and tears

flow, woosh did not burn
the man,the past, no more fear.
I was I am still...

A vacuum cleaner should glide
And relief from messes provide
It is quite unlike
Harley Davidson's bike
Since the dirtbag's on the inside



Author's note: Someone told me this vapid joke at work today, so I framed it as above--enjoy!...

"Tap! Tap!" the drop
of Her tears.
Pouring on the
ground from the
clouds of fear.

'Roar! Roar!" Her
thunderous shout.
From the pain She
felt, She cried out.

"Woosh! Woosh!" She
breathed fast.
"Why my love?" She
asked.

How poor Mother
Earth was.
Tortured by her
children, She sent
Haiyan to us....

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.

city fellas dey come to the bush,
the Crocodile barks from his moosh,(mouth)
they think they smart feller, fool ole yella,
more meat says the croc, n goes woosh,
death roll in the donga,
 no more linger longer, 
don't come to his table, 
coroners label, 
says eaten by croc,
 butt n toosh...

thank you Vienna Bombardieri...

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I’m thankful for the hummingbird
as I watch her dart, hover, woosh then fly away
I’m in awe of one of nature’s tiniest and most beautiful miracles
out there on full display...

Have you ever heard  
the woosh that comes 
out of the closed door 
seeping out 
of the cracks 
adjacent a knob 
beneath the base 
below the frame 
above the door
anywhere actually  
where air ecapes 
without a hiss  ? 
Have you ever heard 
the sound of Him 
the One 
that when He nears   
provides your mouth 
wordless, motion  .

smoke
drink
don't think

woosh
cruise
keep drinking booze

blurry light flash
bash
crash

sober
no more hangover
went to far over

could i live
live infecting innocent lives
washing away hopes and dreams

how can i be looked up to
how can i be a father
knowing i killed my own daughter

car wreckes are the #1 cause of deaths
25% of those are drunk drivers please be
safe and save a life...

I am the WOOSH of the trees
On a steady midnight breeze
Hear the THUD of my heartbeat
The CRACK of bones in my feet
I am very alive

I WHIMPER, BAWL, and SNIFF in tears
RATTLING beneath the weight of years
The SNORE and SHUSH of a tired mind
I'm the CLINK of treasure you find
I'm real through it all

We're the RUSH of waves from the tides
The RUMBLE of stone as earth divides
A world of HUMMING and DRUMMING
As the strings keep STRUMMING
I'm just a single sound...
