paragon of poise,
image of Mother Nature
breathing restfulness.

***

clasping trees glimmer
in the misty morning breeze
a glorious sight.

***

Mother Nature’s shears 
protect one and all alike 
with serene blessings.

***

joyous moments pause,
memories peep from the seats
little reminders.

***

drenched in divine, 
we walk through the paths of life
an exquisite joy.

***

a dreamy silence
envelops the land of love
love lores imbue it.

#NewRelease #Syllabic #Poetry

Published on by balroop singh20 Comments

I am delighted to share my new poetry book, which is available for Pre-order, here.

I am thankful to all the poets who write and promote Syllabic Poetry, as I have learned to write various forms of this poetry with your prompts and inspiration. A special THANKS to Colleen, whose encouragement never wanes, and her positive comments keep pouring in despite her busy schedule.

Syllabic poetry is a challenging form of poetry that relies on syllabic count. It may appear to be short and simple, and easy to write, but I realized its level of difficulty when I tried to write within the given syllables.  It conveys the poet’s thought in a succinct and meaningful manner. It has a soul that peeps through words brimming with emotion. Each word is loaded, and each metaphor is significant. Read slowly to savor the flavor and the depth of the thought.

sunsets allure me
bring a million memories
of immortal love

embers of the day 
leave behind a red echo
persistent passion

Smiles brighten our day 
beaming through yellow flowers
despite the darkness 

blurry smiles stay bright
glisten in the pool of joy —
quiet melody 

have you forgotten?
smiles dance into broken hearts, 
melt frozen rivers

a balm that calms bruises
smiles inspire the inner child
keep the smiles alive!

Thanks to Sadje for the inspiration #Whatdoyousee 342.

when sunflowers smile
positivity flutters
eternal solace

***

twenty thousand smiles
elicit a million more
sun rays join the fun

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 Sadje for an evocative image #Whatdoyousee – 329

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.
