Whirly Whirl Anxious Days (poem)

New Quadrille prompt this week at dVerse poets from Whimsygizmo, that dVerse 44 worder to include just one word.

The word this time around?

“Whirl”

Whimsy’s prompt is here

//////////////////////////////////////////

Whirly Whirl Anxious Days     

It hovers, floats

above

with

Birds

it fast circles a drowning

swirling

Pool

down

to the depths

realizing sea monsters

it

Gigs

a carousel’s spin

it

rides overwhelming  

Wind

all in a blur

of a many

Whirl

curling fear’s toes

in anxiety’s

anxious days

Just some guy in a Pirates hat, with a couple O’ cats and this blog … yeah, that’s about it.

    I feel the motion in this one, Stephen — it really captures that dizzy, restless energy of anxious days. I love how the word “Whirl” anchors the whole piece.
