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
