Victor Buhagiar Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Calm

Calm, but too hot, no breeze, no clouds.
Many umbrellas for the crowds
All wanting shade and get relief
Most swam in the lake, heat release.
     That lake was theirs jumping up high,
     They splashed, dived, uttered a great sigh.
     Calm waters were agitated,
     Many couples motivated

A small girl came last to arrive,
One bully blocked her timely dive.
"Get out, girl, you're not one of us."
The poor girl did not dare discuss.
     A big man was angry, face red.
     The lake now calm, the bully fled,
     When all was calm, she smiled so sweet,
     The girl swan, all was a great treat.

Connie Marcum Wong January 17, 2022 at 1:30 PM Our island of Oahu (Population 876,156, Area 597 sq. miles) yet I love living on a small island. Not as small as yours but some get island fever and need to leave. I enjoyed your poem and I am happy the young girl got to swim. Blessings xxoo

Evelyn Judy Buehler January 17, 2022 at 12:19 PM The calm of relief from intense heat, and also from the threat of a bully is conveyed by these lovely lines. I enjoyed this, Victor. :)

Kim Rodrigues January 17, 2022 at 10:57 AM Yes, let all enjoy the calm waters. Chase off the bullies but still perhaps the bully is troubled so perhaps someone can follow up with that. Lovely poem.

Sotto Poet January 17, 2022 at 7:41 AM The interpretation of the complexions' feelings is splendid! Victor. Because of the purity of the sunlight, this piece of art is predominately relying on ingenuity! Verse composition dwells on the most appropriate answer if you want to profess yourself! I contemplate a beautiful summer day while the temperature outside dips to -14 degree. I'm delighted the poem ended on a high note.

Valsa George January 17, 2022 at 6:05 AM Calm waters, but turbulent hearts ! When storm subsides and calm prevails, smiles linger on faces ! A fine entry for the contest ! Best of Luck Victor !
