Cradle of Contrasts
A cradle of earth, a continent of contrasts, where ancient rhythms pulse, and modern dreams ignite. Not just a landmass, but a symphony of stories, of deserts and savannas, of jungles and mountains, a tapestry woven with time. The sun, a golden eye, beats down on endless plains, where wildlife roams, and rivers carve their paths, a primal dance of life. The wind, a storyteller, carries whispers of ancestors, of tribal...

Scarlet sun peeks through a slit in darkling storm clouds. Butterflies go home. Sky meets sea at plum border as pink moon trails, in order. ...

Unity of contrasts
The river flows, and in its twisting it breaks and rebuilds itself, a perpetual motion that devours itself and gives birth to time. It is night in the heart of day, light in the depths of darkness, a fire blazing in the silence of the world, and there, where shadows gather, lies the seed of lightning. Everything sings its opposite: death shapes form, life corrodes, only...

My child, a whole day can be quite obstruse as the trail of moonglow begins to set lonesome hours could bring you to a realm, with dreamy tales one can never forget. Though night-moon glimmers in the woods, every leaf tumbles softly with the winds' howl where petitions drift along pensive swings of lunar grace, of solace deafening: Still ,...

Thoughts opaque yet translucent positive negative Night & day- Separate but intertwined as one betwixt &between- Timeless images once spontaneous now nuanced      but implicit immaculate     yet plain- Chaos an an absence           of sounds  sway back&forth, in calm elegance- Motifs complex intricate &multifaceted become simple yet extraordinarly minimalistic...

CONTRASTS intuitive enthralling  with the startlin discoveringstartling of  commonality paired together   receptive & so highly  esoteric & radiant  a mystical theosophy  developing exceptional possibilities of controversial comparisons yet  is profound tactful with considerations tinged in an elegiac mood  juxtaposed   individuality unfurled in  inscrutable mysterious shadows  marks  the sense of being in magnificent rectilinear   strokes marvellous  engrossing & illuminating  throughout the mind & consciousness in the mystery journey so   wondrous to fascinate   the lyricism in the complexity  of time  light &space...

Do we need all we buy Or buy what we need Those in need cannot afford To be greedy When they have mouths to feed Babies crying Old folks dying Of the lack of food All decaying Bills need paying The fire needs some wood Mum is sneezing Grandpa is wheezing Dad is not looking good Got no wages It's been ages Since he had a job He does odd jobs now As...

Cultures may vary, as vultures soar on high. Deceitful ones carry faux perceptions as they cry. But across all these humanity’s deep characteristics refuse to be as hidden fleas. Instead with camera precision, all clicks. One humanity woven together – strengths, weaknesses, all bound with common needs and hopes, rather looks toward a renewed ground. Consider. A different harvest grows, where invigorating wind refreshes. where...

Two Comparable Contrasts
what i say about Tim Extends to Solemn Kim Starting with moustache grim and two eyes oddly dim; Two Voices for God’s Hymn Happy to uplift Him…. But I think Tim is slim And Kim rather The Plim, Tim following his whim Prepared to challenge Kim And even rubbish him! Kim fills cups to their brim And Tube judges by Rim, Tim, The One who can skim And comprehensions...

Premium Member A Tale About Contrasts
Just having an opinion or two does not mean that one is opinionated. It's true that there have been things of which we have been falsely accused; but for me, stubbornness is not one of them. On the other hand, there are many things that we flatly reject or simply refuse to admit to. ...

CONTRASTS a sense  of grandeur &  substance sweetness  sophistication  encountering  &    presented  well so very   stirring a conundrum to grapple with pendants  irregular    floating ethereal their lyrical brilliance  cloud-like  layered   pleasingly intense &extraordinary 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...
