Sun: Pleiades

Sun's ever burning flame,

smoulders on horizon,

sunrays kiss morning dew,

shinning white pearly hue,

soothing eyes, heart, mind, soul,

showering warmth, love, care,

soaring the skies high.

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.

The Lonely Autumn

I give shades of happiness and love to all,

but my emotions wilt like leaves and fall.

The truth of life is hard to define,

to my fate I resign.

I fill hearts with hopes of new beginnings,

and get crumpled beneath feet as forgotten wishes.

Stark realities mark this world,

for it, pain and hurt are just words.

I am the source of lavish splendor,

deep within I am fragile and tender.

No one knows of my agony,

alone I face this harsh reality.

Abundant harvest, fruits I offer,

still nothing ever in my fate alters.

I see them slip moment by moment,

and pray humbly for my atonement.

Summer Sunshine

All the cozy- tender things,

from the summer field I gather,

some sparkling rays, petals of spring,

and a few down feathers.

I weave them into a soft shawl,

gently adorning emotions pure,

it’ll warm your winter whole,

with hopeful promises to assure.

Securely tuck it in your heart,

love and affection will fill inside,

warmness exudes its every part,

soft prayers within strands hide.

Sweet Desert Rose: Tritina

Wild, dry, lonesome, yet sweet,

a wandering child is the desert,

harsh or favonian winds, it smiles like a rose.

Crystalline sand petals remind of the true rose,

each particle immersed in memories salty and sweet,

beauty spirals through this rose in the wilderness of desert.

Along with the sun rejoices the desert,

for its companion is the rose,

into the world, wind blows this story so sweet.

Truth full companion to desert is the sweet desert rose.

Tritina : It comprises of three stanzas using the same three words in a Sestina like pattern, and a final line which uses the three words in the starting sequence:

A.. B.. C...

C.. A.. B...

B.. C.. A...

A,B,C...
