Whirlybird Poems | Examples


In the Air

Trump let one rip at his rally
(You know Jan's keeping the tally)
On November third
No more whirlybird
Prison is right down his alley*

*Despite Barrett, Trump's 
Justice Department have failed to
block E. Jean Caroll's lawsuit
against the POTUS for raping her
in a department store dressing room!

Premium MemberMy Dear Lord

Clouds gather, pours the rain,
Pray the Lord, to remain,

Streets fills up, cops stops by,
Pray the Lord, will survive,

Downstairs floods, guy on boat,
Pray the Lord, stay afloat,

On the roof, whirlybird,
Pray the Lord, I'll be heard,

Splashing about, glob, glob, glob,
Heaven bound, before God,

My dear Lord, You not hear,
Word for word, Angels cheer,
Cops, boat, and whirlybird,
"OM..." (CAREFUL) LEST BE TRANSFERRED

Weather Thou Goest

Clouds gather, pours the rain,
Pray the Lord, to remain,

Streets fills up, cops stops by,
Pray the Lord, will survive,

Downstairs floods, guy on boat,
Pray the Lord, stay afloat,

On the roof, whirlybird,
Pray the Lord, I'll be heard,

Splashing about, glob, glob, glob,
Heaven bound, before God,

My dear Lord, You not hear,

Cops, boat, and whirlybird,
"OM..." (CAREFUL) LEST BE TRANSFERRED

Seriously Superb

Seriously Superb
03/08/2018

Seriously I need of this ugly whirlybird,

Uncontrolled thoughts, seriously disturbed.

Round they go totally unperturbed,

Too many thoughts, too many words.

Detox, withdrawal, whatever you’ve heard,

Leaves you agitated, anxious, wholly unnerved.

I’ll fly off the handle and show you the Bird,

My thoughts are whack, jumbled and stirred.

Yet this insanity won’t last I’m assured,

And soon one day I’ll be feeling superb.

Luna's Plea To Aurora

Evil has torn the streets
Thus leaving it bare
Silence lurking as it peeps
Another house up there

Humanity chanting as we call
Heavens hear our pray'r
Keep our household away from harm
In this forbidding lair

Staggering footsteps roused the hounds
Manned gates so vigilantly
See no lights, hear no sound
Watchful souls waiting to flee

Whirlybird flies back and forth
Awaiting for first light
Hope infixed in our hearts
That we may survive the night

Heavens Gate

franticly, Bo cried aloud
the sheep are all astray

never fear,now Doe is here
and he will lead the way

we strayed because of hunger
and that hunger dreadful deep

lo' the master made them applesause
and bade them all to sleep

then lovingly he once again-
advised them never fear

and as they soundly slept
he gently whispered to each ear:

halle bopp,diddy wop
pass along the word
conductor's shouting "all aboard"
the magic whirlybird
 
                                  god speed.

this was written 
years ago about
the heavens gate tragedy
recently found it
cleaning out a drawer
hope you enjoy.

Far Afield

In this strategic somewhere
Battalions marched to nowhere
Keeping peace in face of dragons
Concealed in the foothills.
Tiger tracks in sand vanish
As though sucked into oblivion,
Wiped out by desert storms
And the unforgiving winds.
Dear Whoever letters mailed
To post-boxes, obliviously, telling
Of whirlybird crashes
And the charred dead remains.
Friendly fire a misnomer,
Murderous justification spun,
Revving propaganda engines
And wheels within wheels, etc.
We regret to inform
The child you bore and nurtured
Is unrecognisable to the eye
And like a tarmac jigsaw.
He’ll no doubt be sent back to you
Boxed in something smaller,
So you may burn again his bones
In a ceremony of your choice.
Some mandarin pontiff bids
And bidding is done remotely,
Far afield where life is spent
As though to burn.
