Whirligigs Poems

A’Sway

...My whirligigs are spinning;
The trees are all a’sway.

The windsock strips are dancing;
The bushes are a’bounce,
The dogs on le...

Droning On

...Guard dogs try to sleep in a deaf corner.
Smaller barkers do what they do best
from under bed or table.

Large bugs in the sky
keep blinking and teasing.
They jig and jag
and only the dogs

Bells

...Bells

Solitary heart, newborn in brooding silence,
Steps on a cluttered path
Through elms and boughs of broken limbs,
In a pungent, evergreen hush
Absent of astral cacophony

Fantastic Words

...A closer look at a fantastic word

Like they’re gearing for a brawl.

The temperature is dropping 
Back to wintertime degrees

The wind provides the magic 
For the whirligigs and trees,

Wrack

...The storm brawled with the flying rags

in spiral sprays of feathers.

Deer slogged against a hoof tugging fright.
Raccoons clung to barn beams.

A Place To Ponder

...I am sitting on the cliff overlooking the river
Far below in the crevice of the mountains,
Where the waters meander like a ribbon
And the rafters are tiny figurines fighting
The currents l...

Considering Whirligigs

...Considering whirligigs, how they spin,
While I, I sip on my ginger and gin
Awaiting the next miracle my way,
While my hair turns ever so gray
Thinking about small wonders now,

Imagination

...Hence, I plunge into imagination to encumber suffering,
Athwart are the horizons wider than my pride,
