Best Motifs Poems
Twilight crimson in motifs gold
Paints eve’s horizon ruby bold
Where autumnal dreams unfold
As saffron vistas waltz to please
Amethyst winds quiver in breeze
Falling leaves of gamboge trees
Stars up high, for attention vie
Glinting prairies in russet dye
While doting moon peeks from sky
Till sunrise blossoms shortened days
Glistening smile of autumn's blaze
Blushed in kiss of zealous rays

Grimly he comes.
Day after day,
hour upon hour
second by second -
for centuries
into eternity.
The face
beneath his dark hood
he will reveal
when he comes
for you.
30-word poem/ Nov. 17, 2017
Based on pic #2 for nette onclaud's Pic Motif Contest
Eventide’s splendorous motifs on blazing arc rise
Tinting golden horizon of glinting vermillion skies
Where setting sun inflames decaying gilded rays
As twilight glistens graying eve’s yellowing haze
And pewter winds rustle leaves, lilting meadows
Swaying hills of trees in rhythms of tilting shadows
Where bidding the day goodbye birds hastily fly
While enchanted in luminant sky people amble by
Reveling ebullience of nightfall glowing in moonlight
Dazzled by twinkles of stars lifting tenor of night
As nightingale’s love song enthralls nocturnal appeal
When orchestra plays above scintillating astral zeal
Quietude soon endows dreams of exuberant dawn
As the reign of moon and stars sparkles on and on
Till misty morn awakens to melodies of robin’s call
And sun rises again to walk the new day to nightfall

Placed 2nd: Collaboration with Silent One Poetry Contest
Glorious hues arise from halo of morning sky
As dreamy eyes take me on a wondrous ride
Where cottony clouds scatter layers of purple
Adorning with shades of heliotrope flowers.
On my ride I visualize a celestial place on earth
Hearing fairy tales from fabled views unfolding,
And I ask my yawning bushes to vacate at once
So I can plant my lilac garden in sunrise colors.
Mesmerized by purple cues in orchid motifs
My day traversed gaily in enchanting overtones,
When clouds spewing gray darkened my show
Blocking twilight from glistening reddish glow.
Having lost sunrise, I hang on to sinking sunset
Assured by its scenic prowess I build my place
Near the lone lamp on street that is yet to be lit
Yearning for vistas of my daydream to repeat.
My place now occupies best of both worlds
Rising with mornings and setting with evenings,
Mimicking splendid hues of evocative contexts
Adoring fervent daybreaks and dreamy sunsets.

Also placed first in ultimate 2018 contest by Brian Strand
Tempter shrouds his cold flame
hovers dwelling in pleasure,
with no remorse
to lay a kiss
on the sleeping soul at their weakest
as they lodge in fear.

Shrouded in darkness
He walks steadily
Down the cobbled street
Ephemeral breath
D r i f t i n g
Into the cold foggy air
His footsteps echoing...
A mysterious stranger
Heading for a rendezvous
With death.

His world
hangs on a wall.
His wheeled chair
sits in a corner.
His tillered escape –
the Barque,
Astral Traveler.

In the dead of this cold foggy night,
is this the spirit of Jack the Ripper
or the Boston Strangler prowling
the silent streets...
or someone’s imagination running wild?

I have crossed oceans
Tasted salt of discoveries;
Allowing strangers
To become families.
Now I am older, yet new allies
Beyond map's horizon
Still rouses thirst
For unknown destiny.

Inhale
the last you will
of this planet’s wholesome gift
blowing out grey cells
and bits of a life
..distance..
until a stranger
with two
puffed eyes
and clouded vision
----------------------------------------
On the ill-effects of smoking
The Night Lamp
As night stumbles in
The lamp crinkles on
And the evening rides
The light -
Which upon
The lamp’s tenderness
And glory encapsulates
Its harmony within…
It escapes the night

I've traversed this wondrous world
Captured through the windows of bird's eyes,
Enclosed within a body with silver wings,
So blessed I've been to fly the friendly skies.

It’s not hooded evenings
Which leaves me desperate
But the alienation from self-esteem -
And no one can trace such loathing
For veil of blindness rips induced apathy.

An Enchanted Lamp-post
Neither the serenade of crickets
nor the waltz of moths
could appease her enough.
Secluded in a glass castle
her glowing beauty flickers,
unaware of the blazing beast
trapped within.
