Sweet and Bitter Stuff of Wonder

NaPoWriMo, Day 28
***
The Circus
folds its tents
it packs its ropes
cajoles its animals
to their cages
It rails its wagons
The train
Or caravans
The trailers
Drive away
The field it leaves
Is empty
Of the shrieks
And jolly hops
Of the children’s eyes
Wide open
With amazement
Of their mouths
Full of sugar cotton
Lollipops
And their hands
Full-laden with
Fake jewelry
The field it leaves
Remains abandoned
By the magic
It held on
All summer
Summer’s gone.

Haiku Heights – Temptation
***
Temptation as I see
Volcano surging power
And fury alone.

NaPoWriMo, Day 26
1.
Wow, oh, wow
Don’t get off so loud!
Don’t give in so soon!
Never mind the crowd!
You’ll get yourself marooned
Looking up to whom
you shouldn’t
Just because you wouldn’t
find a steady place
To help you save your face
Oh, wow, oh
Don’t get down so low
Rescue team is on the way
Yet, perhaps, they will not stay
Probably they will ignore
Noise so loud and fall so low.
2. Haiku Heights – Melody
How will the wind find
The melody of stricken birds?
Shall it hush down?

Do the wheels of the bus
Roll round and round?
Are you trying to remind me
of those wheels
featuring
in that sweet short rhyme?
Are those wheels
the ones of my fortune
rolling endlessly ahead
never stopping their roll
their run
their smooth and gliding forward
Move
and leave behind
all that chance
has witnessed overboard?
Do I understand
Those wheels
Resemble
The path my scribbling wisdom took?
The tipsy driver
Gets them zig-zag
Through the mist
Of love and moons.
Ah, insatiable you…

NaPoWriMo, Day 24
1. Acrostic Only, SW – Rhythm
Rhythm rules the abyss
Hailing over dead wood
You wasted time alone
Timeless patterns get you
Hunting on your own
Mindful, random and forlorn.
2. Poetic Asides – Morning
Blue highways
Rolling over
Your sleepiness
On that blissful verge
Your dreamy blinks abide
Still sleepy self can feel
The blue outside
Where birds are chirring
Is there coffee steaming?

I am 2/3 through with the challenge. And still holding on 🙂
Poetic Asides – Let’s [blank]
Let’s count to ten
In honour of the ten digits
And the decimal and metric systems
In honour of the notes
In an octave
Eight, plus another two –
Me and you.

I know so much I hadn’t wished for
I know so much that I don’t need.
Does the sea complain
its water is more than it wishes for?
Do the mountains complain
they have rocks they don’t need?
I lie on the edge of the sea
I lie in the foot of the mountain
And I wish to be able to see.

NaPoWriMo, Day 14
Suddenly spiritual with the Easter Rising coming, here is my poem for today, a response to the Haiku Heights’ prompt word of AURA.
Believe, rise
These enchanted eyes
See aura
See aura
Around all creatures
God is here
God is here
Dark purple aura
Believe, rise

Somewhat belated, yet my contributions for Day 13 of the Poetry month, along with its Poem-a-Day challenge are here:
1. Haiku Heights – Warmth
The wind howls
Like a wolf outside
Hearth warms heart.
2. Poetic Asides – Something poem
Something stupid
You talk of engines
And of piston heads,
The turns they make,
How they rotate
And how all that
Transforms into a drive
While
I watch the movement of your lips
And listen to the murmur of you voice
It is a gentle stream that glides and slips
And then all that
Transforms into a dive.

Yesterday, I somehow failed to post a link at Haiku Heights, which is one of the main sites whose prompts I follow. That’s why today, I hurry and here it is:
1. Haiku Heights – Waves
Rolling, swelling waves
Come to peace in piece of foam
Magical physics.
