Anger – blind alley
an irresistible walk
for some bullish freaks
***
Bare teeth, bulging eyes
hurl hollow words of dissent
to intimidate
***
Whimsical horses
with stirrups of fervent ire
perilous morons
***
Do they care for you?
beware, they are pretenders
with capricious love

Photo prompts kick my muse even when she is cross with me! Such a beautiful picture of Mother Nature calms her down perfectly to write syllabic poetry.
Want to see heaven?
where morning clouds glow soft pink.
come to our backyard
snow fairies dance here with glee
we revel with them all day.

Cold can not touch us
that is the bliss of childhood!
giggles thaw the snow,
the thrill of togetherness
embraced by wild ecstasy.

I am back after a long, fun-filled vacation, emotional reunions with friends and family after a gap of three years. Though jet-lagged, I am getting inspired by this beautiful challenge. Thanks to David for choosing a thought-provoking image for Ekphrastic poetry challenge this month.
The day
we all gathered
harmony of colors
depicted the dreams that connect us
with love
that day
we were summoned
by our mentor to show
the luster of togetherness,
a glow
a show
of diligence,
of emotions that bind.
our hair color could never change
the goals
he said:
let’s meditate!
Donna stood tall, erect
Bob stood on his toes to show he’s
alert
just few
paid attention
to the artist’s vision
curious Cane watched from the edge
judging!

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to craft syllabic poetry. I’ve written a Crown cinquain, a sequence of five cinquain stanzas functioning to construct one larger poem. This poem has five stanzas, each with syllable count of 2/4/6/8/2.
Thank you.

colors
rock our cradle
we are bubbles of joy
life sounds sublime initially
carefree!
yellow
and green mingle
to welcome the first steps
butterflies add charm and magic
gleeful!
crimson
flutters young hearts
new passion reigns supreme
love gets a new connotation
blissful!
Darker
shades permeate
Black and gray dominate
Shadows hover around to scare
eerie.
ashen
and pale jolt us
but life keeps on smiling
if we let the woeful clouds pass
souls merge.

cameras
around the time frame
scan your face,
instruct you
they speak just in syllables
magic portal yawns
…
red door opens
just for a second
wide enough
to push you
a dark capsule swallows
sky and earth merge here
…
a new realm
inequalities
of all kinds
melt at once
liquid pours perpetually
a preordained drowning!
