Hour 5: Night (Form: Etheree)

Night

draws the

curtain of

stars lit by the

lantern of moonshine

and lullaby of the

sailing breeze captures the sleep,

the sparkling streams cascade into

ripples that gurgle against the rocks

as playful fireflies retreat behind trees.

Hour 4: Poetry Marathon (Form: Acrostic)

Parade of poets penning an

Occasion of feelings that

Emerge as a fountain,

Treating the mystical words,

Relishing the values that

Yearn towards a faculty which

Manifest the surrounding and

Accolades as fruits, ripen

Round the clock

Actively castling ideas

Through the voices that

Hear and echo silently,

Overflowing the minds like a

New dawn every hour.

Hour 3: Raindrop Rendezvous (Form: Monchielle)

Drizzling crystal raindrop

Born out of a nimbus

Races its way nearing

an unforeseen journey,

leaves a thunder striking.

Drizzling crystal raindrop

leaps into the tall trees,

spraying fresh morning kiss

and shrouded fog reveals

whispering woods in bliss.

Drizzling crystal raindrop

drips over a green leaf

swiped by a butterfly,

forms lens on a petal,

reflects the high blue sky.

Drizzling crystal raindrop

scrambles along the roof

glides through the window pane

splashes into ripples

As I walk down the street.

Hour 2: Time (Form: Pleiades)

Travelling through ages,

Trails that made memories

Tying the bonds that last,

Thoughts pervading the hearts

Transiting the seasons

Transpiring days and nights,

Treat the generations.

Thank you poetry marathon!

Hello Poets! This is my first “Half Marathon”. I am excited to be a part of the poetry marathon family this year and hope to participate more in the coming years. I embarked on this challenge after feeling the support from fellow poets and also this marathon is a confluence of poetic emotions pouring from all over the world. This is definitely going to be a beautiful experience.Good luck to all the participants!!!
