Notes About The Poem

This is a Poetic Form, The Dizain.  I intended to write on the subject of Dr. Mehta's Dizain Contest but the muse took off in another direction.

Creations Crust

Creation’s Crust


Performing - a chorus line – life dancing
the golden haired seductress saunters past
temptress – pheromonally enhancing –
sweet aura that descends as breezes pass,
the innate scent of instinct’s net is cast.

Mock battles that decide a species fate
feathered prance seeking egos to deflate
survival of the fittest will ensure
that seasons are fulfilled and then abate -
the struggle of creation thus endure.

Andrea, I started to write it for the contest theme - "Heaven" but the muse wasn't in a very angelic frame of mind. It's a pesky little form. I may write another for the contest theme.
