A Cocktail of Kaleidoscope

(ALLITERATION) Cows milked: mitigated mooing in the meadows then Weaving on the warp, some workaholic women Harvest of hapless halibuts on hooks Bookish book-worms buried in books A palomino and a pony patter on the paving Hucksters and hawkers hawking every housing. Ravers out on the razzle raising a raucous razz-ma-tazz Beavers busy building beaver-dams but about it quite blasé. Doves cooing in divine chorus Frogs frisking out of focus Horoscopes are hocus pocus. Tidal waves of tsunami treacherously tread Sea-anemones scattered upon the sea-bed. Geraniums genuflecting in jungle-like gardens Hunters wary of wandering wild-life wardens. All this when I ventured about videotaping Nature's much nicer even with no landscaping These are direly different scenes from different parts of the globe Perhaps like a space probe's kaleidoscopic poetic probe ( this poem has every letter of the alphabet except x)

Excellent poem piece mentioning nature at its best and worst. This is so in depth a piece to read. I too have done poems on a tsunami (Katrina) and have voiced on behalf of mother nation through my words---what man is doing to their planet's environment and wildlife.... needless killing of hunted animals where man is bringing their numbers too low and very close to distinction levels. I give this a 7.....didee

I can see why you like my poetry I LOVE YOURS! learning to write haiku helped my other verses tremendously because it forces you to be hyper observant of 'everything' as you were in this delightful romp. Light & Love
