For DVERSE’s Meeting the Bar, Vandana Sharma Challenges us to write a poem in Pleiades form. Essentially, it is a poem with seven lines, each line having 6 syllables. Kindly visit the Pub for more details and responses. 🙂
Here are my Pleiades.
MUSIC
My soul was swept away
music wrapped it in waves
mystical and glorious
melodic scales allowed
me to ascend the heights
many dreamed of and then
meekly kissed me awake.
SELFIE
Picture me as I am
plain as a sunny day
parrying the shadows
pressing upon my soul.
Pretenses are futile
perfection is distant
Persevere. That I must.
That must have been a mystical melody, made in heaven smiles ~
Oh, loving the musical one in particular.
OH Imelda!! You really outdid yourself–I love them both equally, splendid job!!!
Thanks ever so much for the generous kindness. 🙂
How lovely. Imelda. The image of the music amongst the leaves is very pretty. 🙂
A lovely job on both but, the first one has such a wonderful melody..
Wow you are good at this….
perfection is an illusion anyway….smiles…
you did well on each of them…and i feel much the same
of music…
Hi Imelda lovely poem.Regards.Jalal
The first one gives so much peace. Thanks for your participation.
I like the contrast between the two.. I hope we are more in music than in selfies.
You are a wonderful poet Imelda. I hope you have a beautiful autumn weekend 🙂
