Paul Callus Poet Free verse

Refrain On the 6th

Strands of hair under a microscope
In different shapes and hues
They twirl and swirl elegantly
Exuding dainty graceful poise
Culminating in stretched flexible splits.
Under a microscope they dance for joy.

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 10, 2016 at 3:28 PM They were just showing off their DNA to you, Paul. Ha ha ha. Very interesting conceptual poem. I had to read it twice to glean the depths of it. A very good poem, my friend. Love always to you. Paul Callus November 11, 2016 at 12:17 PM Glad you managed to elicit some sense out of a poem which was based on a picture which unfortunately I could not upload...it would have made more sense. Thank you for stopping by, Freddie. Regards // paul

Andrea Dietrich June 15, 2016 at 3:22 PM gosh, this is so interesting. Looks like I was not the only one that could not get into that contest!! this could well have been on the winner list. Paul Callus June 15, 2016 at 4:17 PM It was frustrating, considering that I had posted the poem early enough. Thank you for the 'like'. Regards // paul

Timothy Hicks June 5, 2016 at 6:16 PM Cool and fun brevity, Paul. (are they hairs or bacteria?) ... there's a very colorful world right beneath our noses that we have no access too ... who knows what's (who's) looking at US beneath a microscope? I'll have to check what the contest was about ... Paul Callus June 7, 2016 at 1:58 PM Hmmm I'm no expert, that's why I opted for hairs, especially if they're "right beneath our noses":) And, yes, I believe there are quite a few who inspect us and all that we do!! ~ As regards the contest, I tried dozens of times to enter this, but to no avail :( Regards // paul

Richard Lamoureux June 5, 2016 at 5:43 PM Very cool imagery Paul. Paul Callus June 7, 2016 at 2:22 PM Thank you Richard. ~ Regards .... paul

Connie Marcum Wong June 5, 2016 at 3:29 AM That picture is my favorite too Paul. I enjoyed your unique take on the contest with this great entry! GL in the contest! ; ) Paul Callus June 5, 2016 at 10:26 AM Prior to writing this poem I had already read a couple of entries which had visuals 2and3 as their basis, so I was determined to go for visual 1 instead. Thank you for reading and liking, Connie. ~ Regards // paul
