Poets of All Nations Unite

Small we stand large with poetry and verse write about sun and sheer darkness Rainfall comets and tides as a micro-cosmos in a world that lacks infinite words Some throw in science philosophy intimate narrative disclose heartache or joy We share love faith hope reason and feelings and take comfort in pencil and ink A lotus flower evolves on the page with a fig tree or a violet rose covered in ivy Spiders weave webs on dinosaurs’ spikes shielding honesty while the globe spins Icarus melts as a Phoenix rises from vanishing ashes dispersed by Pegasus wings A Unicorn smiles kindly for a Dragon to rest in the soul of our intricate minds Embracing life’s vagary disentangling fallacies and truths we point to them both Impermanent and miniscule we are part of a Universe and speak out for freedom 03rd July 2019 Witten for the contest on the theme of The Universe Sponsored by Nina Parmenter
