I sit
in the bubbles 
some blessings come like that 
I dive into the bright colors, 
to choose
the one that matches your love for me
and calmly watch the joy 
that glistens on 
your face.

***

Surfing
enhances the fun,
summer heat dissipates 
just like the illusionary
colors
that bestow bubbly enchantment
so many rainbows dance
A healing touch –
freedom!

Thanks to Yvette and Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. I’ve written two Butterfly Cinquains.

Silence sleeps
shadows wait
behind sheers

soft glow peeps
dawn beckons
bestows cheer

lovely day
calm morning
promises glee

another 
city, new
adventure

old friends meet
to renew
memories

sparks renew
forgotten,
past yearnings.

Thanks to Colleen and Willow for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry and try a new form. The challenge this week is “to write a Tricube poem in as many multiples of three-line stanzas as you wish. Please pick your moment and write about your feelings. A word of advice don’t overthink the moment let your words flow.”

A tricube is a 3-line, 3-stanza poem where each line contains exactly 3 syllables.

A special thanks to Sadje for #Whatdoyousee photo prompt -336.

A Unique Bond

Reliable,
a touch that lingers
a grip
of love
moments of delight
treasure that bond.

***

A mute kinship,
snug affinity
breathing,
cuddling –
a profound message
to remember.

Thanks to Colleen and Melissa for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to write a Hautt, which is:
unrhymed.
content driven; it pursues “wisdom and eternal truth”;
a hexastich, a poem in six lines;
syllabic, 4-5-2-2-5-4 syllables per line.

I have tried to write two of them, with the same theme.

Many thanks to Sadje for a beautiful image for #Whatdoyousee prompt – 333.

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.
