Economy of language
       Rhythm and flow
     Heightened stylistics
       That's poetry, you know

     Metaphor, simile
       Allusions, imagery...

     Personal vendettas ~
       Unwelcome asymmetry...

Asymmetry is
a plump wren perched
on a thin branch
contemplating
a ripe strawberry
stilled on a table

In its serene
pose does
the wren feel
ripeness or see
the redness or
is the setting
just a pas de deux
for one...

what the question was
contemplator put on pause
shifting instead into trance reverie
postulating consequences of asymmetry 

ballet thus enacted in perfection of delight
treat for the soul yet we are contrite 
because what the question was
was by artist put on pause

monochrome blue
  a breakthru
on a road
   to simplicity

power
in paint
   so primitif
experiments
 in emotion
a progression
     into the 
              sur real

dramatised distraction
corrupted
in confusion
jumbled
minimalised
  stilled life

asymmetry
  twisted to exaggeration
conflicts
in 
  conflagration
 
of front side & rear
in one
    view...

STARRY SKY

       Polka stars on
                             turquoise tapestry
                           
    Slim slender salient Moon
                                        to get entry.
       
      Silhouette of nebulae
                                      shows asymmetry.

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...
