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.

Bridging Breaches #WDYS -330

Bridging Breaches

Buried in the debris of desires
Words emerge to mock me
Calling across the bridge of brooding
with readiness to embrace.

Reminiscent of past promises,
Of the fiery wish to meet
Where the ancient bridge bends
Where the forest lovers linger
to hear the silence.

The bridge is quiet
Just like the still trees,
Silenced by the seasonal magic.
Then it grows darker and narrower
Travelers tarry here to glean the difference
between chaos and tranquility.

The world of love and peace begins here
A gentle hand of Mother Nature knocks away
all the moments of acrimony.

#Rensaku #TankaTuesday #WDYS- 329

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.
