My Smile

I may
sit and smile now
but you would never know
how I learnt to keep it
and breathe beams of
good cheer.

Weathered
by paths of strife,
singled by pains of life,
I’ve survived despite blows.
I symbolize
true life.

Changes
don’t touch me now
I’m immune to trials
bridges borrow my strength
lakes learn calmness
from me.

I am
epitome
of positivity
my smile just signifies
compliance with
karma.

Thanks to Sajde for the inspiration – #Whatdoyousee – 281

I’ve made a second attempt to write a string of Badger’s Hexastitch. I like this form!

A Badger’s Hexastich is a poem of 6 lines with 2-4-6-6-4-2 syllables per line. It is unrhymed, with optional rising and falling end-words.

Thank you for reading my poetry.
Here is the Amazon link for my new poetry book.

Spring Delights #TankaTuesday

Spring Delights

Open
all the windows
welcome the morning breeze
look at the pine branches
decked by tiny
cute guests.

They sing
rhythmically
flit in and out of leaves
dancing to the spring tunes
fill our hearts with
delight.

Perfect
time to step out
behold Mother Nature’s
awesome yellow attire –
fields of mustard
flowers.

#TankaTuesday – Synonyms only

Image from my patio

Time twinkles and glows
a fraction of an hour pauses
watch the spectacle!
the horizon celebrates
the design of hued twilight.

clouds vie with passion
steal the radiance of sky
momentary splash –
crafted by ardent artist,
articulating finesse.

#TankaTuesday – Taiga

Published on by balroop singh34 Comments

pristine clouds seem like
angels about to descend
will they spray magic,
drenching me with divine love?
mesmerizing spectacle.

#TankaTuesday is back! Thank you dear Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.

For challenge no. 1, Colleen invites interested writers to create a taiga, and the caveat is to use a black and white image, paired with a syllabic poem. A taiga is a tanka and an image. 

Thank you for reading my poetry.

encompassed by green cover
sheer serenity
