Swish Poems | Examples


Premium MemberA golly whopper's catch

There was a young woman who yearned for a mate.
Sadly cat food was all that she ate...
The cans with seafood she clearly favored and from
this diet she never wavered.
Many thought her an attractive gal, in spite of slight
whiskers and her woeful meow.
None dared go close as her breath was so foul..
Come night on a twinkling star she would wish.
At the break of each dawn she'd gargle and swish.
Regardless she always reeked heavily of fish.
She couldn't rid of this seafood scent which seeped
thru her pores and wouldn't relent, so she
moved outdoors and bathed at a brook.
One day she got snagged by a golly whopper hook.

Premium MemberSwish Swish Swish

She took her water colors and went swish swish swish
A variety of colors twirled around in her paint dish.
I am making something you have to guess Kyra said.
I knew immediately it was a Barbie head.

Premium MemberSwoosh, Swish

An ingenious device is a basketball net:
  Swish, swoosh, swoosh, swish---
      Its sweet sound made
      From a cager's wish.                        (A 'cager' is a basketball player)        

Close your eyes; let your mind run free,
Picture the ball arching gracefully,
A round, rubber rainbow coursing through the air
  Willing its way on a wing and a prayer.

Swish, swoosh, swish, swoosh:
One after another the balls pour on in.
Swoosh, swish, swoosh, swish;
  The nets' cords snap,
  Cagers high-fives slap.

  Swish after swoosh,
  Swoosh after swish:
  The sweet sound made
  From a cager's wish.

Swish

I missed the toilet in the dark,
I'm always deadly as a shark,
I miscalculated -
math is overrated...
think basketball: Shoot with an arc.
