Poem Title:
Poem
My day starts with a cup of tea hot Its steam ‘n steamy headlines in papers help boil the day’s plot Nine to five make all efforts to achieve my day’s aims Mind and body both it usually strains Motto is to stick as far to the present weaving past and future into its crescent. Romance in evening is aided by the moon crescent Red wine shots make it more hot After dinner it is time to reassess the present Tomorrow somehow sneaks into the plot A warm shower helps to drain the day’s strains Helping me renew my energy and aims. I retire to my study to fulfill my imagery aims To indulge in poems while admiring the moon’s crescent which plays hide and seek with the clouds, and my eye strains The scene in which the cupid’s arrows start hitting her hot I get charged and run to find my own love’s plot find her at terrace as she viewed the moon crescent at present. Dreams of love and happiness we give each as present But how does that help in the achievement of aims? I try to scratch my head but do not get the plot For the things of heart have invisible connection with moon crescent The resulting low and high tides blow us cold and hot In equal measure, causing us happiness and strains. I try to sleep counting my happiness but wishing away the strains I also pray to god that I stay rooted in the present Over so many days I learnt not to worry unless iron is hot this can happen if we get clear cut ability to decipher those damn aims but things start to get hazy when out comes the moon crescent and my attention gets tuned to the music that bush crickets yonder plot. Falling off to sleep I am forced to loosen the strings of my plot Off I meander on slopes which sprout flowers of different strains From the slopes I can jump and closer feel the glow of the crescent Becoming the king and receiving the queens in present Having achieved everything I am left with no more aims That is when I wake up to see next day’s sun turning hot. Plotting the day’s programme again requires mind to be present strains and stresses apart keeping a focus on the charted aims Crescent moon providing the romantic touch later, with these expectations hot. 12.6.2014 Contest The Sestina Challenge Sponsor: Jared Pickett
