Mike Turner

Life is a whirlwind

Blowing towards uncertainty

As a hurricane




Whither Whirlwind?


They have sown again the winds of war

Proclaiming themselves as liberators

But immediately pouncing on the spoils

Thus showing their true colors:

Not champions of democracy

Not proponents of freedom

But rather enablers of the moneyed elites

The same old tired story

And now as they greedily reap what they have sown

There is need for accountability:

Time for us to be the whirlwind




Lifetime Dance


Love’s always a chance

Shall we give it a whirl?

And risk our hearts this one last time?

Not merely romance

Nay, a lustrous pearl

That I’d be yours, and you’d be mine

Now take my hand

We’ll the ballroom, twirl

For in your arms I hope to find

Our lifetime’s dance

Passions unfurled

Two hearts embraced

Two souls entwined


*Dedicated to my wife, Pamela Caudill
