Triolet is a poem of 8 lines in which 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and 2nd and 8th lines also repeat. The rhyme scheme of the poem is AbaAabAB

life walks in, when words stroll out
a heart to the brim, on edgeless thoughts
minds off coats, wear no face, no pout

Puzzles

puzzle these eyes
do wings beget shivers
do shivers beget wings

Senses Treacherous

coffee tracks, fresh drops
brew memories over the brim
words in sweet, crooked wit
play echoes on the wall

Slender Meanings

twist of unfurls and frills
swirl thoughts, blown
Monroes, upon slender meanings
in wisdom, paired tall

Do we do?

8th Nov 2017

Note the position of the word *do* in each line

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

do we grow bones of mind
or do we mow grime off thoughts
did they do life for horses
or did they do eyes for our hands

Home

*Alliteration Poem – Home*

Halves hinge halves
Half hints, half hunches
Halved hopes, halved hats
Hands held, heads hidden
Hearts hug, hisses hush

Distances

*Alliteration Poem – Distance*

8th Oct’17  ~by Venkat
Dimmed doors, drip dreams

Dip doves, dainty ducks

Dewdrops dumb, daisies dull

Dates dizzy, distances drawn

Time

*Alliteration Poem – Time*

5th Oct’17  ~by Venkat
Talons, treacherous, talons, tired

Treacherous, time takes the tooth

Timeless tresspasses, timely treason

Tossed talons, tremulous trees

~ Haiku

Beneath the surface

Collective consciousness sparks

Deja-vu moments

The Home

​where thoughts bask

in a motionless dream

care not for the world

or wide jaws in white

a home of crocodiles

Time, A Marble

time, a marble

in our tender hands

hands held enough, to hold

Nest of Wonder

fires, they gleam in rings

on your fingers, molten in amber

winds, they clasp as chains
on your eyes, in hollowed homes

snowfall, dance in buried silence

your feet, dream of voices to hold

waters, they clink as fireflies do

your heart, drip thoughts in the dark

Lessons

Winds, in a caress blew

    leaves in new fears

Nights, in winds drew

    stars in new tears

Sticky World

Stick me not

    Silky mountains

    Rivers of tulips

    You love robed, in white snow

 

Waves

Waves, they rolled
       on yesterday’s sand
Waves, they filled
       footprints of the heart

Waves, they gave
       a page to dream on
Waves, they took
       words of yesterday

Cocktail

Come, a cocktail for you
For your mixed feelings
In this hurricane of words

When the skies were wide
And you longed for a game
You loved to stir thoughts
And floated on cubes of wonder

The poet and some troublesome words

As a candle burned into the night
the poet played a game
Chasing words that tried to hide
behind the flickering flame

But however hard the poet tried
he could not catch but one
The words were quick to disappear
as they were having fun

Fair Trial

Us, sane of the mind
Found reasons balanced, for law
To make trials fair and kind
To warm hearts, on sentences raw

The New Year Prayer

These prayers I send
as birds into the sky
Gentle, as flowers bend
to lift clouds from the eye
