CNY 2nd day

2025.1.30
CNY 2nd day.
Today, the celebration continues.
People visit their distance relatives,
Their grand parents, aunties, uncles and cousins,
The CNY visiting's routine become formal and practical,
The meals is also less glamorous
There will be lobster, oysters and prawns.
The rotating hexagon box,
Full of sweets and candies are still on.
Chinese people believe,
What happens in the first three days in CNY,
Will repeat throughout the year.
I believe that is purely superstitious.
However I have already experienced two strange incidences.
I wish it will never happen again.
One was, I received no phone calls nor replies to my messages
Which I was asked to do someone favors.
The other related to "My music adventure"
Goodbye 2nd day of CNY.

Snowflake

majestic winter
hexagon shapes free falling,
intricate white storm

I'LL WRITE ANOTHER DAY

I sit here with my heart in my mouth
Wondering how things so quickly went south.
A task I once did with joy and delight
Now feels like a burden I shoulder each night.

It's nearly day 130 of this merry marathon
Running in circles, a line in a hexagon.
"I'll write ten poems tomorrow," I said yesterday
But suddenly it's Monday, and time slips away.

Day after day, I lag as themes pile high
One atop another, while time fly by.
"A poem a day," I say, but still I delay
Waiting for tomorrow, as today fades away.

Oh Hakim, I'm like a master chef indeed
With all the ingredients but lacking the speed.
I spend all my time just staring at the menu
Instead of cooking, my gas runs to few.

My joy for cooking has faded to gray
And so I put off my writing for another day.

WINTER SLUMBER

Hallows Eve to Candlemas
the sun now turning
 south,alas;
November sombre,December dark,
January,February
         cold and stark.
Catkins litter 
the forest floor,
beeches 
    shed their leaves galore
Gales melange the mix
 decay brings 
nature's bionomics

Hexagon pointed stars 
move and shift 
to  patterned powdered drifts
Rain filled days 
of slush and muck
webs on shards
 of gossamer 
stuck
Twilight months 
     in winter shade 
'til the snowdrops
 matamorphise 
in the glade
the tiles dusted with snow
trickle down rivulets 
fill the rain butt
winter blankets
upon the dark earth
snow falls icy blue

Six Pack Senary

The World created in six days, the senary devised.
Carbon the sixth element, the core of organic life.
Bee perfection, hexagon cells; snowflake six-pointed stars,
The sixth sense, Perception lies deep within, the third eye.
Six pack, six to go: beer, eggs, drinks and rectus abdominis, 
Earth's sixth extinction looms, human caused, Gaia displeased.

Leftover Lines of Poems Undone

Love avenue shuffle
spirits fandango through
grave eyes of doubt on
delusions of disorder
when we kiss do 
dreamy clouds cuddle?
Photonic warped thoughts
feed on disdained
mecurial clot eclipses tick tocking
against organic time thieves, there's
cerebral fury on medication row as
rival consuls consort on 
succulent erotic painules--huddling
under jagged mistletoe as bellicose vision
fugitives plan placid avant garde getaways
of broken glass and bloodless lips
under hexagon suns and sharp quark 
triangles. 
Neptune Clubs open their pores to 
Blue Plate liquid aura traders----
reveling in the street life hubris.
And so it goes.

Shape of the World

from the oval office
planned within the pentagon
world governments square off
endless circle of wars
played using hexagon grid
creating heptagon badge states
mass minds rhombus clouds
truth gone bermuda triangle
all for diamond equivalents
parellogram with past history.

Shapes

Ellipse, evolute, vertex and curve,
Humdrum circle or ricochet swerve
Astroids or cusps, arcs or sectors;
What have those got to do with vectors?
Curvature, cone, Cartesian plane…
Oval, deltoid… what’s in a name?
Geoid oscillation, pedal, radial, rose…
What on earth do I know of those?
Hypocycloid, cruciform, Sierpinski carpet…
Inverse tangent or Apollonian gasket?
Snowflake, hypercube, space-time dimension
Pressured, gauged, or under tension?
Trammel of Archimedes, planes, rotations –
Congruence, right angles, equivalence relation;
Conchoid curve, Orthoptic, Lemoine hexagon,
Triangle, star or good old pentagon.
Crescent, rhombus, magatama, square,
Caustic curves, salinon, ying-yang or sphere!
About whichever’s the shape that you talk,
Basically, it’s taking a line for a walk!

My Pentagon, My Pentagon

A hexagon, a hexagon, you have to be a hexagon!
A pentagon, a pentagon, I want to be a pentagon!
Nay pentagon, nay pentagon, you have to be a hexagon!
My pentagon their army's armed, your hexagon, we'll nuke, be gone!

The Decay of the Dwell of Minos

This is The Dwell of Minos,
noble Castle of human wit and learning.

Minos, the King of Crete, so renowned for justice,
symbol of a noble soul.

Here, hidden stands The Temple
where The Sixfold Hexagon in two divides,
judges from the dead.

The grandeur of Minos
along with Radamantis and Éacos, (The Three Judges of Death)
grow smaller and smaller
as they descend from the noble Crete,
into a place mute of all light.
Where wit and learning are unknown.
Where human Judges of Death, are unknown

The Buzz of An 'H'

helpful honeybees

                          had hovered hexagon homes~

                                                                       haunted hives heaps high

The Hexagon House

I was on your back
Looking at the light among the trees
The sky was incredibly blue
Walking in the forest
Going to the hexagon house

Nobody was there, but from a gap in the door
I saw a sewing machine in the room
I heard someone’s name
But I don’t remember it now

Nobody was there, 
But I saw the flow of life
I will go there,
To find my hope

A Very Nice Little Horse Story

A nice little horse story to tell to the beetles and cakes.

What if the rotating square meet the sides of a spinning circle? Well a dance, a spin and a sparkly front facing flip out from the watching triangles. Triangles are good gymnasts and also very proficient swimmers too. The length of a log is the length of a pool. And a shimmering hexagon is quite exquisitely placed upon a scented pillow. Wave no wearing prismatic mineral containing aluminum and acidity regulators would prong the air with a glow stick bought from a shop of equal price. Process plays process paying parsonages pleasing pickled people. And a nice metre of gold dust to rise and tickle the air from a sheet. Great. No ha no x no z. Just reading rhino reviews. Statiturisation at twenty one iron ore lolly pops to twelve cones of coal.

WINTER HAIBUN

Hallow Eve to Candlemas,the sun now turning south,;November is

floor,beeches shed their leaves galore.Gales melange the mix,as decay brings 
nature's bionomics.Hexagon pointed stars move and shift ,into a patterned 
powdered drifts.Rain filled days of slush and muck,webs on shards of gossamer 
stuck.Twilight months in winter shade until the snowdrops matamorphise in the glade

shapes spread statuesque

foliage in Winter clothes-

melancholy me
