Indefinite Infinity in space and time aye doth toss,
Itself diffusely, enclosing entirety in the cosmos,
Only to baffle the stupid,spellbound ,eerie puzzle
Of forms and moulds that ever keep up the dazzle
Every little odd thing claims its own due existence ;
All great marks, flags and colours make no sense
And look like just little dunes and pits on the spot
Or if more, are spilled,broken and torn ones a lot;
Every living thing darts across to catch the other,
Feed on,feast on or enslave all that it doth gather
The lava that erupts from within the restless land
The lofty sweeps of storms and winds reprimand
The deviant excess that yields the froth and slag
As futile tertiaries do stem out of the empty brag !

Dance of polarities making us whole
From root to crown, in bliss rapture we drown
When we allow wayward ego to die
Heartbeat of God announces the countdown
Paving way for soul straight to heaven fly
Simple is the path to enlightenment ~
Bring head and heart with love in alignment

ENJOY LIFE
I keep going on being strong and optimistic.
I meet morals melting mind in modesty
I admit that Life is reflection of a game
Rare chance to win or fair chance to lose.
Ready for conflict to confront at each front
being cool, energetic, or aggressive.
I approach running, rippling
in symmetry or asymmetry
leaving rhythmic charming patterns.
I respect ruthless truth,
morals on journey of life,
at ease or at strife.
In drama of life I play role
of dauntless warrior.
I keep going on erecting my head.

'What keeps me going on'
Contest by Cecelia Hopkins Drewer
In my blistered ruined mind
I build odd gods, old!
They sit in irregular rows,
In a crooked cathedral ,
Like a pantheon of ornate oddities!
Each one dusty or lost, I have forgotten
Honesty…!
Cracked white china and blue filagree…
Each a stony façade,
Carved eyes hollow, staring!
Absolutely hollow and odd…
Staring like little divinities!
Sitting in irregular rows.
In a pantheon built of ancient asymmetry.
I have devised until my demise…
These are forgotten Ancient ones,
The little divinities of broken antiquity!
A tulip opening petals
Your words flow so smoothly
As I look at your fingers
You do everything to soothe me
In your elliptically wide eyes,
The Mediterranean waves call me
A blue sky touching the water
The waves within are a little unruly
Your lines are so direct
As if I am seated next to you
Wrapping me intensely
The waters of the blue
Should we drown ourselves in these stanzas
While you read aloud your poetry,
From the symmetry of two figures
To a purposeful asymmetry
Economy of language
Rhythm and flow
Heightened stylistics
That's poetry, you know
Metaphor, simile
Allusions, imagery...
Personal vendettas ~
Unwelcome asymmetry
LIFE TO LIVE
Enjoy life, stay strong being optimistic.
Live Liberal Long Life on Love and Luster.
Meet morals melting mind in modesty
Life is nothing but reflection of a game
Rare chance to win or fair chance to lose.
Life seems a conflict to confront at each front
being cool, energetic, or aggressive.
Life is like a poetry running, rippling
in symmetry or asymmetry
leaving rhythmic charming patterns.
Respect ruthless truth,
morals on journey of life,
at ease or at strife.
In drama of life play role
of dauntless warrior.

'Let's Mix It Up'
Contest by Constance La France
Monochrome blue
a breakthru
on a road
to simplicity
&power in paint
so primitif
experiments in emotion
a progress
into the surreal
a dramatised distraction
corrupted

jumbled
minimalised stilled life
asymmetry twisted

conflicts in conflagration

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
Haphazardly,
Infinity and affinity mingled,
In an asymmetry imbalance.
A dishevelled universe,
Grew and shrank as fire devoured,
Yet ice sustained.
Outrages currents swirled,
Straightened, dispersed, and garnered,
Dissipated into nothing,
Only to surge again and again and again.
Until a soft soothing spirit unfurled itself,
Protracting into every nook,
Fire and ice detached their selves
Into their proper assumed place,
Light and darkness found their proper place.
How harmonious was creation now!

PEEP DEEP to COLLECT GEMS
Gems should sparkle in poems, worth to mention
Poetry to touch mind in emotive beauty.
Poet to undertake this responsibility.
Put a catchy title to draw attention.
Carry your spirit, plumb the depth, bring the charm.
Whatever be theme, to sink in abyss of heart
in pleasant soothing style for impact to exert.
sending errand vibrant, brilliant bold firm.
Poem to resonate with rhythm of soul
‘Solace in grief, 'inspiration in despondence',
Sensing love and peace, bringing bliss on elegance
Unspoken syllable to voice or to scroll.
On easy flow you can compose in rhythmic rhyme.
You can try poetry on smooth symmetry
Or to glide, slide, slip on slant asymmetry.
Let free verse chime ringing harmonizing dream.
Choose a title to enchant and to allure
Try poetry enjoying your creation,
reaching reader with pleasing recreation.
Title to attract reader: I must assure.
