Circles;
ode to my top
and others
ode to my top
and others
You turn around from
side to side and back and forth
You run in circles
You never get to the end
You can't even find your start
Spinning around with
wobbly axles of your turn
spinning crazily
high and low, always listing,
on the ground, up to the sky
Round and round you go
in and out you never stop
We feel for you top
This whirling's making you dizzy
Please stop your twirls just this once

Run in circles... nicely done.
ReplyDeleteNo no don't stop. It's just right for a top.
ReplyDeleteStop...deep breath...and maybe slower...but keep moving
ReplyDeleteJim, a friend of mine wrote a short skit called "Meet Hank Spinner." All about the plates he was spinning, a la Ed Sullivan... and one by one, the plates toppled, just as the spinning tops (dreidels?) come to rest. Excellent use of metaphor here, man. Loved it! Amy
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Jim, your poem was making me dizzy! Wonderful use of words.
