The Rain

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..

Katanas Swoosh

I walk among you wielding my great sword,
cutting, slicing, stabbing and dicing,
and my banner says peace, love and harmony,
but only on my terms,
come with me and I will create utopia,
a true Heaven on Earth,

I don't care for your wisdom of the sages,
people like you are bringing in the new dark ages,
how dare they live in

Swoosh, Swish

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

Swoosh

It’s going on three years,
And I can’t forget that day. 
Go write your heart out,
Is what you used to say.
.
I’m still reaching dreams,
That you didn’t get to see.
I’m still blessing people,
Through my poetry.
.
My thoughts are colliding,
I’m always asking why.
And I‘m always asking God,
When I look at the sky.
.
I’m left with the silence,
As I sit by

Swoosh and Croak Away

chirping from up a nest,

      a feeble chick longs to fly,

            while swallows swish

                  and swoosh in the sky...

Swoosh

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
