Yoga

Breathing deeply relaxing the chaotic mind and soul
Stretching to mother nature besotted in the spiritual energies
Mind empty focussing to the enchantment of tradition
Folding bodies flexing into beautiful mind taking positions
Free from anger mind resting from all those everyday thoughts
Meditation unexplainable as one becomes so free
Ending so refreshed feeling the pureness again in me

The beginning and ending bring this poetic exercise full circle. NIcely written free verse. Such a competitive competition. Gwendolen

I think you are a new poet on the soup. On the left side of any page, scroll down till you see Contests and then click on the contests by Members. There you find the contests.

It's a very sensible and inspirational write on Yoga. There is a contest going on Yoga by tahera Mannan. I hope this is an entry to the contest. If not, think of entering it, Claire
