Challenge: orchestra, bells, wood, peacock, timing, intense

decibels

bad orchestral timing in the wood -
a white bellbird was being harangued
by a peacock new to the hood
the tension in the air was intense
bells tolled when the dust had dispensed
after the white bellbird struck back
with his song

The Diary

When you take it in your hand
and press the button
that opens it
you almost hear the whisper
of the secret voices
that habit its memories.
The feel of its texture
its books smell
evoke literary adventures.
No parsing here,
rather the rustle
of ancient signs.

"The souls of all good poets passed into swans" - Pythagorus

swan song superman

empowering
the weaning of our species
from the confines of earth
created a new dawn for man

cryptically black swan
events named Apollo -

space ships with lunar landers
whose bulwarks were
as thin as tin cans

Lol! Had to laugh at the title. Enjoyed the bringing together of swans and Apollo Mission.

Studio in the Shadow
The pink vellum portfolio
had a coin engraved in its front.
On the window sill of the studio
a white white kitty sat in contemplation.
Soon it vanished into the garden..

Bubbles

A solitary lamp burning
In the street
in the twilight.
A wreath on the bride's head
another on the fresh grave
In the cemetery.
Left wing, right wing.
So many bubbles
bursting in the wind.

Challenge: endeavour, blasting, ring, shrub, teapot, melody

tempest in a teapot

avast! across the couch
an enemy bonsai shrub
exiting from the fog, 'tis
endeavouring to come about !

strike the jolly roger mates !
tack with sinews fraught
let the sheets rend the wind
and take it on broadside !!!

a silver clad teapot pirate ship
blasting its cannonade
rings of fire from the
mouths of death
ah, what a sweet melody

Challenge accepted!

Next: everlasting, phoenix, færieland, children, soldier, owlish

There was once
in fairyland
a legit Phoenix
The children and even
the weary soldiers loved him.
One day he met a bad witch.
Being bored and irritated,
she transformed him,
giving him an owlish face.
The children abhorred him
and the soldiers didn't visit him
anymore.
The sad bird went to Godmother
and asked her for his old face.
The old fairy sighed and said:
"My dear that was my enemy Uglynova.
She hates good looks.
If I restore your old face
She will change it again and again.
So I will teach you to live
with your new one.
You will practice being reborn
out of the ashes during thirty days.
Then you will be able to resume your life
The young bird followed his Godmother's advice
and went home feeling much stronger.

I had editing problems the poem above will be finished tomorrow when on PC.

Next: clown, home, journey, philosophy, daily, excel.

Poor phoenix :(Quite a parable / færie tale... enjoyed :)
