Short Geometric Poems

In geometric skein they flew,
Off the geese, to pastures new....

Abstract innocence,
a geometric painting
configured by truth....

A praying mantis;
Geometric visitor;
Intelligent bug.

Should I run and fade?
Or face the geometric shapes?
Trust the fish I caught?...

Building castles out of stardust--


and sprawling cities lit by starlight.


The arranger stands on
geometric borders-


unobtrusive to the rebel's dream....

Time slowly goes bye.
Tick, Tick.
All these words scraping my mind raw.
Tick, Tick.
This torture is stealing my will to live.
Tick, Tick.
I really want this geometry class to end....

Metal thou art not,
Ye alchemists’ Majestic Aluminium
Thou regal geometric shape with equillibrium
Siphoning H2O to the nether world,
Making us not to rot,
Metal thou art not.

I walk around
I go right in a straight line
Go seven paces then I turn left
Making another left on left
Taking big steps
cumference
the enclosing boundary of a curved geometric 
perimeter, border, boundary
I walk around...

The natural& the normal,synthetic yet,small scale,regular and the 
irregular, embossed.Illumed in the artificial light .Drawings and legible forms intrique and beguile creating mind-games in memory.
Characature & cartoon avant-garde of the geometric in three dimensional desire....

stuck on the inside of a box
this world is circular
And we're all square 
Perpendicular are the lives that
lie parallel to the intersect
three dimesional personalities
around the way
If your reach a stop
Green light the go
This poem doesn't make sense
So I'll stop now or...gooooo......slowwwww...

in the beginning there be
only...
a plus and a relative minus
then...

calculation of geometric parts 
that...
revealed concepts in the minds
make-up...

of parallel thought-form ideas
fostering...
similar change in experiences
of...

so called time-addicts
obsessions...
with a number-able 
count...


stans sand...

WATER & GLASS

Watermarks
immersed in fluids 
weave a whirlpool
stream of words
washing and waning
while
wavy waterways
weep
wet with tears

gurgles
will
gush

Translucent
crystal clear reflects
geometric gems
opaque flute glass
glacial
visible gloss
glimmers
glitter from guilt

hot phenomenon 

           ancient lava rings
     hexagonal shapes appear 
         molten rock anneals

         where titans battled 
     geometric footprints pave
         the giants causeway

Child sculpting with delight,
a sea turtle from sand
Details of a geometric shell,
design carved with a stick,
eyes of two perfectly round,
worn- flat sea pebbles and four
well- placed  fins.
 
If an unseen force were to
animate these features
and sea-ready fins
It would race for the breakers,
not looking back to see
who was its Creator....

EMOTIONAL BRUSH STROKES

a backlit painting
darkens in the mind’s mirror,
falling from her throne

the woman’s figure
in geometric color,
neon flash of strobe

will all the king’s men
mend the shattered glass
restrict her movement?

petty and pretty
prideful and coquettish blitz
— conflicted artist?

fragrant velvet crush
urn on crystal verge adorned
spooky sylvan shade

Date posted and created on Poetry Soup : 24 August 2020

Contest : Haiku - Color with Alliteration  

Sponsor : Tania Kitchin

NB
In case of any ambiguity Velvet is the requisite contest color.
Crystal is a solid substance with regular geometric features.
Verge is an edge....

good-looking gorgeous gregarious godmother of mine 
guards graceful gracious grateful great-grandma so fine 
giddy girls giving genuine gumdrops, guiding GIs to Guinea,
Generating ghastly ghostly gibberish unheard by many, 
Gently germinating geometric gelatin a plenty.
Golden goggles glowing good-naturedly
I like these giddy girls who giggle wholesomely....

Slipping into meditative attention
We find ourselves at our very core
Central funnel within alive in blissful elation
Each time like the first time never felt before

Gods grace teasing slow motion awakening 
Enables us to render a symbolic delineation 
Sushumna bliss ignited throbbing
In a pulse of geometric perfection

The ignition renewal in unending continuation

Workout in spins on tip toes
To seek pleasures in woes
Reach out in graceful airs
Frivolous to the despairs;

Melodrama on the high
Sensuous coups in passion sigh
Acknowledged body motions	
Ferocity in potions;

Figure speech measured in yearns
Geometric braces in turns
Scaling heights of perfection
Flights of pure satisfaction;

Let me set the stage afire
Rare exotic’s my desire....

I imagine myself
Stepping into a painting
Of a strange city
With geometric shapes
It’s something I never saw before
Where buildings look
Like buildings but not
Also, the people have
No faces
It’s only their bodies
Walking through the streets
And their spoken language
Sounds like music notes
Even the cars
Run backwards 
And their built
Upside down
I often wondered
What kind of place
Did I stepped into...

lines
   through the past
confront
    the 
     eyes

a hidden reality
a revelation

  of       simplicity

an essence
        of       purity

geometric parallels
vertical
horizontal
               diagonal

graphic contours
of
   the unknowable
in
balance

pure minimalist 
in
           form
yet
     structured

blocks of conception
networked
       ratios of the rational

liberated...

aero assault , causing physical trauma
universal elements , spin our human drama

slow process of growth , done in orderly fashion
gases to solids to form the masses

from the micro , to the macro , a dynamic wonder
geometric scale , magic of numbers

past , present , future , a matter of comprehension
time and space , a matter of dimension

chronological ages , stuck to pages

intellect rises to the mental ages...

Dust yawns in a forgotten corner
knowing the lazy hand will never
disturb its slumber.

Flies flit in and out
spiders weave their 
geometric wonders and wait.

Dust wanders aimlessly
in the afternoon haze
neglect brings a deathly
serenity.

Dust's drowsy dance dithers 
in forlorn insignificance.

A shrine of dust locks away
memories of the past
as dreams decay in
suffocating silence.

LOOKOUT

From the very top of a tree
I watch what grounded ones can’t see

That meandering line in the grass
The hurry-scurrying    tips of blades just stirring

You feel so a part of the sky
A breeze tickles your feet by and by

A tree upside down
Like a leafy merry-go-round

Far and wide    Earth laid flat
A geometric this and that

There is this wish to forever remain
But the soil always calls one back again...
