By happenstance a glance may say
we humans saw the light of day
in universe’s vast expanse
to personate our song and dance
within a fleeting earthly stay.
At night black velvet sky array
stelliferous with appliqué
might seem to firmament enhance
by happenstance.
Yet ‘midst the starry overlay
concomitantly underway
cause and effect their course advance
encompassing in nexus trance
connections cosmic, not at play
by happenstance.

Tik-tok the clock clocked
Shivered my lids , eyes were locked
Night it was, but shadows formed
down my eyes like a jack frost pond.
Florets peeped, sang chirpy and sound
Bask whispered me to get brown
"But hey kigo, you make me cold,
You make my passion less bold
Your malicious intent won't leave me unsowed"
This my endeavour denounced, so in devote, much in devote.
Lean, but spirited high
Bleary, it will fleet by.
wonder that is around the pike(better future)
Keeps me going, radiant my vibes.
Yes, those disparaging thoughts mind speaks
Brawn sinews still feel weak.
Then greets with amity Mr. Ardor
Gives me life, plays some amour.
He fights my flaw, enhance my will
then give me my fight, leaves the field.
Now vim I am, strong I was made
Will become hard, hard to personate.
Wait you fellows, wait for a tale
tale of a champion, tale of elate.
