 ___________________________

Kaleidoscope

A gentle turn
changing colors, changing pattern
greet you lively, fill your transfixed eye
you can’t resist looking through even if you try.

A gentle move
changing feelings, changing groove
enchant you within, entice your heart
you can’t stop trying even if anew you start.

A gentle twist
changing concerns, changing wish-list
enrich relationships close, please others
you don’t lose trying even if the mind dithers.

A gentle jerk
changing vista, changing framework
transform you, liven your listless life
you can’t stop doing even in times of strife.

A gentle tap
changing design, changing roadmap
morph the mind, create colored hope
you can’t desist looking in the kaleidoscope.

Congratulations on your win. A colorful write. I loved playing with these as a kid. "Move, twist, shake and tap" They were so much fun just like your write. Have a blessed day....................
