The challenge this week is to write syllabic poetry about what lies behind the mask. Thanks to Yvette and Colleen for the inspiration.
knives within their hearts
a perfect smile that could kill
a confident gait
a befitting mask to win,
to dazzle the admirers
***
the show continues
till you creep behind their skin
to uncover the lies
true tales tumble out soon
finally, the facade falls

Thank you.
he waits
for his sunbath
in his precious window
the golden glow peeks through the clouds
calmly
***
crisp air,
eerie silence,
frozen wind sleeps on trees
chill whispers through the window chinks
he watches

harvest moon beckons
brings beams of eternal love
let us celebrate
one last night of ecstasy
draped in silvery moonlight.

the old oak calls us
offers a love canopy
will you stay awhile?
mystical moment entices
to craft lifetime memories.

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.

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
