Sotto Poet Poet Other

Discord and Disarray

Hostilities
  hate
   & hysteria
          world full
               of 
           platitudinous
        pandemonium
    perceive
acute
    sufferance
          forbearance
               of all 
                  existing
                     behind
                  conflagration
               & commotion
            cupidity 
     & callosity
searing
     sweltering
             to
                heal
                   hearts
                      by 
                         drawing
                       love 
                  & empathy
                 betwixt
            beelzebub
& mephistopheles
painting
    pugnacity
         instead
              of
              horridness
                 poltroonery
              sculpture
           Isthmus
        shielded
      by
    reverence
    &
lionization
     to
        embrace
            shades
               of
                rainbow
                     &
                         relish
                             silence

How
   sensuous
        Is 
          a tree
             without 
                wind
                   blowing
                       through 
                           its
                             branches 
                                 where
                                    hidden 
                                          sun
                                    wants
                                 to shine?
                              & how
                           sensuous 
                        mountain
                    clinging
                  falling
               echoes 
              or
           homeland
         in search 
         of
       its 
     home?
how
   sensuous 
       depends 
              on
         gratification 
        of 
    what’s
desired.

NOTE::THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' (intuitive cadence)& so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Sara Kendrick May 7, 2023 at 3:07 AM It is true that many people are suffering from outright hate these days plus bitterness, strife, the need to get even, covetousness, and jealousy. That is just to name a few negative emotions that are being mishandled. Working through all of those emotions and aim to be filled with love is the key to a better life. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara

Yann Rolland May 5, 2023 at 11:56 PM very interesting, love and hate ? may be a question of desire, nice punchline, a such original poem, i appreciate have a nice sunday

Hat Bueckert May 5, 2023 at 5:48 PM Good luck to you and well worded, something flows very nicely about this, I found my head swaying with it as I read :)

Vijay Pandit May 5, 2023 at 3:54 PM Symphony of emotions your poetic words strum my friend. You have mastered this form Brian likes (and you like) and once again delivered your theme splendidly, Lasaad. You don't need luck to win the contest--still, wishing you the best.
