The Seven Wonders of the World

Black curls and hazel eyes What do you think of when you gaze wise Broken little girl inside heading cries What makes a wonder of the world so intrinsic? The brokenness and pieces that fit exquisite How can wonders fit in so ardent Like the Chichan Itza`s pieces are glued so capacious When I think about our broken places I think about those who glued in the spaces Like our mind, is the inside of the Taj Mahal Screaming out beauty to all But not all quite understand the story behind the wall With all the earnestness of Christ Redemeer We are asked to create a power greater than hear Say what thou wilt, but head one seer Stories of our minds length the Great Wall Dwelling in our minds but leashed with ones call Take a look back and see your corral If only our mind could open to potential like Machu Picchu Then would one be satisfied by you? Would one stop the search of knowledge anew? Or would you close and hide like the inside of the Roman Colosseum? Such beauty divine, take out and summon Springs comes and winter fades, why haven`t you turned to summer? If your mind runs like the water used to in Petra, Jordan Why can`t it feed the garden? And bring on the warren? Caterpillars' turn into butterflies, turn into a butterfly darling The time is now, to unleash your mind accordingly Take the miracles of words and flow devotedly For you are more precious than all of the wonders of the world

Taryn, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
