glorious morning
in harmony with nature
waits for new magic.

***

sun spreads divine gold
creates fusion of colors
illumines our life.


***

serrated peaks kiss
a demure dawn is smiling
scattering some cheer.


***

a beautiful glow
permeates through the branches
sublime dawn delight.

***

a dash of yellow
enriched by orange hues
scintillating sky.

Comforting Vibes

near
the lake,
beyond the
verdant mountains 
where the clouds adorn 
jewels of a rainbow,
dwell celestial souls that lend
their hues to comfort distraught minds,
to keep them away from smoky skies
perpetrated by power hungry wolves.

Thank you Colleen, for the inspiration to create syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is “to write syllabic poetry using a piece of art as our inspiration! You can either use the painting, OR… Find a piece of art and write your syllabic poem! Don’t describe what is in your painting; instead, let the colors and brush strokes inspire your words.”

An Etheree is a type of poem which consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables.

clouds meet with lightning
like an amorous partner
a wild rendezvous

whooshing wind whistles
heralds tropical monsoon
sun steps back with grace 

silvery ribbons’
obeisance to Mother Earth
saturated soil

roads become rivers
in tune with the symphony
the night’s cloak darkens

dawn loses its colors
clouds reign with black and gray hues
a prolonged downpour

Thanks to Colleen and Melissa for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to write a Rensaku.

Rensaku is a Japanese form consisting of a linked sequence of haiku or tanka by a single author, focused on a unified theme or subject. Coined by Masaoka Shiki in the Meiji period, this “sequential composition” allows each stanza to remain independent while building a cohesive narrative.

Silvery morning
in harmony with nature
waiting for my beau

Eternal bonding
created by red berries
and flowering trees

Are you cold or sad?
the eyes reflect your pining
winter zephyrs zap

Spiritual Vibes #WDYS #TankaTuesday

Published on by balroop singh46 Comments

Spiritual Vibes

I
walked
with my muse
last night, drowsy
but awake, eager
to see where she takes me.
She took me into the land
full of ethereal beauty,
brimming with spiritual silence –
an offer to look within, to forgive.

The silence percolated within me.
A gossamer veil caressed my face
my spirit soared to touch the vibes
emitted by pagoda.
Twenty steps I climbed,
each one cleansed my heart
divine power
pulled me in.
A new
dawn.

Thanks to Sadje for the inspiration #Whatdoyousee – 326

Thanks to Colleen and Yvette for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to “focus on the idea of cleansing. You can choose to go with purification or atonement, if you’d like. Find a syllabic poetry form that works for you, and let your inspiration flow.” 

I have written a double Etheree. 

An Etheree is a type of poem which consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables. Etheree can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. So it is called a double Etheree.
