Sahara a Zero Like

Earth is like a sheet of paper,

A4 size,

Deserts on Earth like zeros written on the paper,

Sahara in large fonts,

In small others!

Premium Member Sahara Desert

Sacred oven like heat
A place where mirages thrive
Desert winds bloom high
Dreaming of rainfall, I pray
Tic Toc, that rain will quench

Sahara Winds

Oil  and reach minerals
Reign in dictatorship
Fight with a  group of gang
Dress in sahara  reverse   its  winds
Interest  in  reign  call all  be in peace

Hair Trees

Head is like a piece of land,

Long and short hairs,bushes and trees,

Black hairs,dark and deep,

White,light and leap,

No hairs,bald like Sahara keep!


Tanka

succulent slender grass
sprouting from moist soil
morning Sun slowly rises
as gazelles run
across the Sahara plains

Poor Bouffant Man

Poor man who thinks
         real ample he is, so in vain
         in front of Everest,
         is simple dwarf,
         in Sahara desert
         a tiny grain... !

Sahara Desert

Happy birthday, dear Romina, 
Arid land has a warm climate; 
In the desert of Sahara, 
The surrounding is so quiet.

Premium Member quest to find the best cactus

I was sent to the Sahara to find the best cactus
All I had to do was mark it
Someone else would remove it
Bringing it to the sound stage
Or the arboretum or wherever it was needed

Premium Member The Sahara Desert

Can't think of a more inhospitable place The Sahara Desert has such a barren landscape Yet people exist Continue to subsist It boggles the mind how it's a livable space

Premium Member A Farewell At Dusk

Pink Sahara in the sky; clouds are dunes of sand. I am watching shadows play right into my hand. Farewell, light of day. Sky, a painted desert rose, slowly fades away
Form: Rhyme

Keepers of the Flame

The moors seduced
The Sahara Desert Mountains
Mastered the Mediterranean Sea
Keepers of the flame
Custodian of Egyptian knowledge
Their horses made of moonlight
The world shall never be the same

Grace of Perfume

Let us move to a land where only flowers are cultivated,
gardens throughout the year remain full of flowers;
there men satisfy their hunger only on perfume
and satisfy their thirst of Sahara-soul in beauty.

Time

As Time Goes By 

Each grain of sand 
On the waste of Sahara
Is a word spoken
A lover´s whisper
A story told and 
A song sung.
And now lizards and
Snakes burrow under 
The sand to
Escape the fierce sun.

Euphoria

Thrust a dagger into my heart
Thresh me with a flail
Lay me on a bed of thorns
Give me a chalice of hemlock
Burn me on a funeral pyre
Banish me to the Sahara...
And I will only smile,
Because I am in love!

Time In Her Daily Hurry

Time in her daily hurry,
if she were a teen-age girl,
studying biology in college,
would make a poor fiancé.

Without virtue of patience
and values of courtship
she would be Sahara desert
with only one public oasis

Power of the Tongue

Power of the Tongue

The tongue we know not
Is a good receptionist
But a poor postmaster
Though cold and wet
Full of fire and smoke it is
It sets ablaze the Savanna,
Forests and the Sahara
It destroys love-birds’ nests
And all is ashes

Ek Soch

Socha tha tu hamara hoga...
dubte tinke ko jaise sahara hoga...

Socha tha ab nahe hoge tanhai se rubaru...
socha tha hoge fr nai zindagi shuru...

Lekin bhul gaye the kaha aati h khusiyaan hame raas... bus kevel tanhai hai aur rahege hamare pass...

Premium Member The Sahara Is Another Vast Sea

The Sahara is another vast sea
   Of zero-edge horizons
And remote hours of austerity
   For "sailors" upon caravans

And the Sun beams mercilessly
   And seems cruel to patrons
Until the Wind scoffs haggardly
   And reshapes its art of dunes.

Premium Member Limerick: Once a Baby Found In a Bucket

Limerick : Once a Baby found in a bucket

Once a Baby found in a bucket
Grew up to be tough as a biscuit
She took a desert trip
Sahara took a flip
(Some people take her/me for a nitwit)
That’s why biscuits taste sandy when bit.

Chaos

The sharp blade rips my soul
Handled by my masterpiece
My compass in the middle of the Sahara
And the flame of my bonfire in the harsh winter
I'm an experienced soldier, I've been through this before
And the seed with decades of effort?
It was planted in a rocky soil

Smiling Skirt

Flying away as feathers is her smiling skirt
Blouse flaps itself as eagle wings in windy sky
Her legs tantalizing gazers as ripe sugar cane
With the eyes squinting as vale blue berries
And the hair like peeling off Sahara waste 
Pelt men as horses in a poorly shot movie

Amin's Rap Lol For My Friend

a Page poet:)

your the one with the lyrical lips,
poetry spouting
a hip hop artist

you hit us with your moonsoon beats
Washing the Sahara floor
saving it from dry periods
Your the one who can spit............................


but sadly
I'm just a page poet:)

Life Is 'Chaotic'

Flap your wings
Make every motion count
Make every dream last

When thousands of miles away, breathe
The warm soft air blowing your way
Far away from the Sahara 

Even as you fly, you will stay connected
Strings attached, lives bonded
The butterfly effect, the human effect

The Wind's Design

Wild winds will whisk you away
To tomorrow's tempting today 
She runs through ruins rapidly rogue
And violets vividly vouge
She styles the sand in the Sahara sun
And finds the ferocious frigid season fun
The wounderous wind is wherever you are
Learn to love the it's lusciousness
