I am on the top of
A mountain
Above the clouds
I see a break in the clouds
'Jump jump jump'
'You have wings'
'And you can fly'
I hear my heart cry
I was bored on the
Mountain top
So I jumped
And grapped the air
Like a rock i drop
Free fall
Spread my wings
I can fly
Swoop
Swooping
Diving gliding
I arrive on earth

Swoop by Martin Kennedy
Swoop.
Falling clouds in ocean
Grounds forest crying
Heaven calling.
Attacting streams
Moving dreams eyes
Swooping down.
Tired cry space so
High these hands
Move and touch
The sky.

Swoop
So they arrived, over the window,
Flying into my marooned frame
Suddenly. Their eyes radiating
Through the iron drifts of cloud;
Their voices, grazing the air.
They brought memories of words
In their worldly beaks and I ran to
Them …seeking refuge in their
Flight-paths, their lost discords.
Now, mere gasps in the strengthening
Wake of light.

Swoop
Gliding on a upward draft
Wing out streached
Glinting eye
The world out streached
Soring high
Pray in eye
Her body sleek
Swooping deep
Death by eye
Gliding on a upward draft
Wing out streached
Glinting eye
The world out streached
Soring high
Pray in eye
Her body sleek
Swooping deep

The Highway Code in Rhyl
Is overlooked
And lovers
Of the over-cooked
Bend
Should descend
On Rhyl.
One Nil to the Lexus!
The honourable roadkill
It’s animal pelt
Poulticed to the radiator grille
‘That’s just the way it is.
Some things will never change’-
Sings the sales rep
Speeding to Bruce Hornsby
& The Range. Imagines the fender:
A bonnet caked in mange.
The nearest thing to ‘company’
He’ll get.
In his company car.
A kestrel coasts on thermals
Between Clywd clouds
And road-flanked Poplars
Waiting to swoop
----------------------------
A Lexus
Refusing to move down
A gear. Caught out
Takes the corner at forty. Careers.
Slides. Then plunges.
A huge descent …
Overturned.
Crushed.At the foot of the cliffs.
Silent and static
Save a heavenwards pair
of offside spinning hubcaps
And Magic FM still
Playing:
“That’s just the way it is.
Some things will never change”.
A kestrel coasts on thermals
Between Clywd clouds
And road-flanked Poplars
Waiting to swoop
Waiting to swoop

Swoop by Maddy
I look around in the shadows
Predators wait, they are hunting
Waiting for prey to scoop
An Eagle crashing down the meadows
In seconds the prey is swooped
The first thought is wonderment
To the beautiful Eagle so elegant, fast
Definitely not an easy task
But then the overwhelming feeling
Of a life lost
But that is the way the circle of life swung
For one has to go up high and come very low
To complete the full circle of a beautiful swoop
Predators wait, they are hunting
Waiting for prey to scoop
An Eagle crashing down the meadows
In seconds the prey is swooped

Of a life lost
But that is the way the circle of life swung
For one has to go up high and come very low
To complete the full circle of a beautiful swoop

Stormswoop
Swallowsong splinters
shriek across sky,
stormswoop of arrow notes
piercing thunderheads
with needles of sound;
releasing rain
down
--------and
---------------------down
sharp, stumbling drops,
stinging, pricking,
stabbing dry earth
to life.

Swoop by Lilly Decedere
Swoop
My body fell, awkwardly.
Brawny concrete hugged my aching spine,
Dear oils and man's sweet sap
enriched my gashed gown,
Intricate anxiety penetrated my cold heart,
You swooped so cruelly!
It always happens when you most expect it...

One thing i like very much is when the swallows swoop, its usually early evening when they come out to feed and they loop the loop. They like to swoop above the water and catch insects for their tea, and as they fly and swoop around they seem to say look at me, I can fly and swoop around while you can only watch from down there on the ground. And yes that is so and I stand and watch in awe, and admire you little swallows for now and evermore.

Swoop by Aaron Flynn
Swoop...
Descend on shafts of light;
seek out the truths which elude you
from your perch
up there
so clinical and detached.
Come down.
Where all is real.
Where pain is felt
and not just imagined,
not merely a philosophical debate
on synapses and nerves,
but all too sharp, and cruel
and real.
