Ok next subject is Still Life

[cacian]

still life
breaths height
nature is bite
to quiet
that's light
energy tice
rise
slow may wise

[Pendragon]

Apples to oranges
Peaches to pears
Blueberry garnish
Grapes every where
Starfruit to Kiwi
Bananas to plums
Cranberry here and there
Durian smells some...

[cafolini]

Still the stiff achieved
the hard salami status

Still Life : Red Queen Hypothesis

Pallor caresses the youth's cheeks
Her heart skips bumps on celerity's ride
Paradox pens chapters in an ageless creed
Concerning the intent to bustle by staying still

This is an abstract poem on one of the principles/tenets of genetic and evolutionary theory.

While frantically thinking that thoughts should be still
Unnerved that the brain won't report to his will
The monk in the cave in some mountain up high
Reacted and said that he might as well die,
But death wasn't ready to give him relief.
There's nothing to justify fantasized grief.
His lonely, cantankerous, mind's having fun
With no one to blame for those thoughts except one.

Thank you for the entires so far. You have until May 5th if you have not already entered

[cacian]

I believe this is due.

[Adolescent09]

Since this is due
if you don't post soon
I will resort to socking you
with my rancid rhyming poo!

[Dark Muse]

All great entries, it was a difficult task.

Pendragon: I rather like the way in which the compassion of the various different fruits also bring to my mind specific colors which can be associated with each of these fruits. In this way the poem really draws upon many of the different senses which I enjoy.

cafolini: An amusing and suggestive poem A fun play upon words.

Melanie: I really like how there is an almost surreal quality to this poem. I think it is a great concept.

Adolescent09: There is some wonderful descriptive lines here, and I enjoy the clever use of language. Very skillfully written. Captivating as well as thought provoking.

YesNo: I love the originality of this poem and the way in which it went in quite a different direction. A great concept

And the winner is.......

cacian: This is beautiful and elegant. It creates quite a vivid image within my mind. The words are captivating.

The long way through the woods led me
To bluebells growing peacefully
Beneath the open canopy
Where leaves were yet to sprout.

The wrong way through the woods would be
The one that frolicked carelessly
Through bluebells so the fairies see
They'd have to get me out.

[Pendragon]

The Bluebells ring in the woods in Spring
And the harebells tinkle all down the lane
The trumpet vine really sounds divine
As the Fiddleheads play in the shade

Wearing a Turk's Cap a tiny chap
Dances in a Fairy Ring all alone
The Dutchman Pipes are finally ripe
And Jack in the Pulpit's voice intones

The Bluebell's call to one and all
The Monk's Hood's all attend
Lady Slippered feet as the Fairies meet
In their little meeting in the glen!
