The Sea

Sun light fades in to you,

glowing waves with different hues.

You can kiss the lucid moon,

when your waves dance and swoon.

On mariners you cast a spell,

song of the sea in their hearts dwell.

You embrace a world of mystery inside,

mermaids, sirens, treasures, pearls in you hide.

Winds bring your messages to land,

like an enchanted magical wand.

Stars In The Ocean: Burns Stanza

Aquamarine transparent sea floor,

besprent with tiny shiny spores,

a marvel of nature to explore.

Blue silk waves black sky,

from the heaven pour.

Dance in rhythm, soar high.

 

Stars float all over,

another domain to flyover,

singing songs to a loner.

Bright glittery nano drops,

warm the ocean all so colder,

lovingly two different worlds hop.

The Burns stanza : Named after the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Also called the Scottish stanza or six-line stave. Prior to Burns’s use, it was known as the standard Habbie, after Habbie Simpson. Rhyme scheme: aaabab.

Falling Angels: Sonnetina Rispetto

Shooting stars from heaven above,

falling down losing faith and love,

banished for reasons unknown.

Skies roar, clouds cry their hearts out,

nothing fertile can they sprout.

Scattered angels roam alone,

shooting stars from heaven above,

falling down losing faith and love.

Moist earth silently stares,

can’t hold them forever here.

Banished for reasons unknown,

scattered angels roam alone.

Shooting stars from heaven above,

falling down losing faith and love.

I Don’t Belong To Anywhere Or To Anyone: Blues Stanza

I am a lonely leaf,

stuck here all alone, a lonely leaf,

soaked in pain and grief.

I carry a varicose heart,

crying and sad heart,

every word a piercing dart.

The wind brushes by,

caresses me and glides by,

it’s soothing touch,  a lie.

The world cares for blooms,

happiness it gets from blooms,

a sole leaf in this world has no room.

I don’t belong to anywhere,

no place to go anywhere,

my destiny is tied up here.

I am a lonely leaf,

stuck here all alone, a lonely leaf,

soaked in pain and grief.

The Blues stanza is poetry derived in the late 9th century from the Afro-American lamentation and sadness. The Rhyme scheme : A. A. a. . B. B. b. . C. C. c. etc.
