joy of giving senryu

when destiny guides
it is never sacrifice
to be most giving

to be most giving
joy shifts into highest gear
play the game solo

play the game solo
you proliferate pure joy
when destiny guides

fellowship of affection
chimerical steps

in some shady nook
wicked dancers on their toes
wish they were black swans

Snob Limerick

A Bachelor who had a degree
Was a snob you could plainly see.
Girls found him egocentric
when he played the eccentric,
and sipped only Darjeeling Tea.

Pelican

private dreamliner

retinas scanning
duskish horizon

shoulders stretch
airfoils grow

angles | changes
feathery at armpit

on his back
private dreamliner

conserving momentum
physical phenomena

catapult
to lift

updrafts
to sustain

yet to this fowl
it is but fishy

Today’s prompt, by Brian Miller was to write a poem inspired by Reena Walkling, from Missing Moments, where she shows off some amazing photographic skills, and even writes poetry.

if children had to repeat
