  9. The word swept, I feel like I’ve been swept. I feel like the sky is continuously sweeping, of clouds, of change, we mark time and how it sweeps in changes, but we don’t know it itself. we see it on a line, a line somewhere where all the other linear lines exist, but we don’t know it. we don’t know but we know changes, we at least identify them, the creases. we can say time has passed because hair grows…

  11. Dewey shook his head slowly, his dark eyes tired. He sat with his knees pulled up to his chest, and his eyes swept the room wearily as he watched Lanna tend to his ankle. It was twisted violently to the side, splinters of bone sticking out in a disarrayed manner and blood covering the floorboards. The arrow that had caused him, to fall still stuck out of his shoulder, sharp and prevalent.

    “Hurts,” The man whimpered, dropping his chin to his chest. He had a thick, German accent, and preferred not to speak on most occasions. He stared hollowly at his ankle, his feathery black hair sticking in wet clumps to his forehead.

    Lanna nodded, her grey eyes patient. “I know, Dewbird. But it’s something you have to deal with.” She murmured, her fingers deft as she wrapped the wound.

  12. The curious monkey swept the floor at school today. He made the floor sparkle with delight. He swept the floor day and night till it shined because they were getting ready for a play. He accidentally swept the props off the stage. He runs away and hides in the bathroom. He tries to get in the toilet and got stuck. The actors find the curious monkey and help him right away. He decides to help the actors remake the props for their play.

  13. Her eyes fluttered open and close, like butterflies gliding through the flower garden in spring. The zephyr, kissing her cheeks, melded into the flutes of the marble columns which surround the greenery.

  14. I was in New York last week, swept along by the general air of ADHD. And today I am with friends in California, with the sun shining and nothing more alarming outside than the occasional hawk. My poor brain is struggling to make sense of it all!

  15. i swept the drawer into a table. the floor of the garden was swept into the street. she was swept off of her feet, but no longer. street swepter.

  17. The chilled autumn water swept across my feet, loosening my sandals and rushing them into the sea. I watched apathetically until I realized that those sandals represented me and the water represented my life, sweeping me away into some cold unknown I could not stop.

  18. a feeling of movement… taken away …free… an act of cleaning … i yearn to be swept away like in fairy tales …the women swept the

  19. I was swept away by life. And you were still, immobile. Watching. And soon I had floated away from your sight.

  20. under the rug
    off my feet
    by that man
    I always wanted to meet
    the day that he said
    he is out there.

    away from this desk job
    and into the wind
    to land on that island
    where my story begins

    To never go back there
    to never look back
    but to know inside
    that you have a past

    it is something to take you
    away from it all
    somewhere that your mind goes
    somewhere to fall

    fall away and back
    to that place you once knew
    that you once swept away
    that for one moment
    was new

  21. Swept away….by love. Complete and utter awe.

    Raging rivers swept the raft away.

    He swept the hair away from her face.

    She swept the living room with a new broom.

    Doing my chores all day long
    Sweeping up secrets

  25. It didn’t happen immediately. They worked together for months. A flirtation here..and there. But they were dating other people. Until that day…the day he came back in the door to ask her to join him for a drink. And he swept her off her feet.

  26. Waves crashing, I’m falling, tumbling into the endless sea of brown. Swept away by one stare, one smile, or laugh. I can’t re-surface, falling deeper, into your gaze so penetrating. I wish I could be only yours, be the only one consumed by your handsome eyes. But only you know who else deserves your special glances and stares.

    Why don’t you smile for me anymore? Look me in the eyes and fall deeply into me like before? Lonely, without your look. Sorrow hidden behind waves of darkness.

    I just want you to love me like before. Is that too much to ask?

  27. “swept off of her feet” is a phrase used pretty commonly in stories, movies, etc. is there really such a thing, though? i can’t say i’ve ever heard of someone being swept off of their feet in real life, and if they were i would probably just assume they were naive and/or delusional. am i just being cynical? i don’t think so. i’ve been in love, but swept off my feet? nahh..

  28. swept reminds me of cinderella sweeping up the ashes and getting herself all dirty when all she really wants is to go to the ball. the story ends well though because she gets to go to the ball and meets the prince but she loses her shoe. that sucks that she loses her shoe i bet it was expensive but she got it for free from her fairy god mother

  29. Swept up in the flow of time, I am carried ever swifter toward the end. The days grow shorter, regrets: longer and more ingrained. Where does the time go, what happened to the endless days of childhood when the whole of the world seemed as if it would go on forever.

  30. I swept my arm across the table, knocking everything off. I was so angry! what is going on all around me?? Utter chaos. Two perfect words to describe it. Utter. Chaos. Nothing else. Nothing more. Everything is a mess.

  31. He crossed his fingers that this time it would work. He swept his failures beneath the rug and wrestled his shame into the corner closet. He wore his desperation and imagination as a good luck charm, praying that it would bring him success. He flipped the ignition switch…

  32. I was swept up in the moment. I idea of losing you and gaining her was lost on me. What did it mean? You were everything, and she, she was the last person on earth that I wanted to be left with. You had pushed me, swept me out the door like the dirt in a spring cleaning. Did you even know how it felt? I doubt you had ever known.

  33. I swept up the shards of glass from the floor. Hundreds of images of myself. An eye looking back at me, lock of hair, lips, a drop of blood. A puzzle of myself, a million pieces. Scattered.

  34. the wind swept across the amber grasses and brought the taste of warmth and drying leaves to my mouth. hair whipping across my eyes i turned, laughing, to look back at him and saw his face was turned away. things had changed.

  35. Whenever I think of swept I think of something that does the job completely. Not a half-way job, but a complete, fast job that can be admired by the person who has just done the job. Whether it’s cleaning your room or getting swept away by an idea, I love that word. The are very few words that lend themselves to be used as a methphor like swept.

  39. I swept the dust under the rug as I prepared for the guests. I knew I had no time, and couldn’t waist it making everything perfect. I rushed down the stairs to greet them at the door.

  40. I swept all the floors without carpeting a couple days ago. Which lead to me mopping. Mopping the floors led to mopping the walls to get the cigarette smell away a bit and make our walls white again. Everyone tells me we smell like stale smoke. :) Gross.
