#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 25
Musing under the moonlight
Streaming through glass doors
I wonder if the Moon beings, too
Meditate on our blue-green orb
Does it work for them and how
As we spin on the axis of flaws?
Do they think, we Earthlings
Beneath the aurora borealis
Are so distant, alluring, magical!
Does all creation seek answers
Across obscure transcendence
Is it the destiny of cosmos
To seek what’s not to be ours!

Squeaky unoiled hinges
Of swings in the park
Sweaty breeze on the face
Games in an idyllic noon
A clang of metallic toy ponies
Multi-hued flying frisbees
Muddy barefoot squeals
Merry-go-round treble
Run and hide, hide and seek
Playing till night descends
Yes, freedom of innocence
Long lost, yet dearly craved!
Poetry inspired by the book cover for Henry. E. Roscoe. Spectrum Analysis. London: MacMillan and Co, 1869 — Source.

I am hurrying through life
No chance to stop and wait
To see moments unfurl
Relaxed, laid back, paced
For there is always
A new series to binge watch
Book review before the launch
Stories, poetry, Insta delight
Twitter wars, WhatsApp fight
Live Now on Facebook groups
Clubhouse, Discord, Spaces, too
Arts, crafts, podcasts, videos
Content overload, daily dose
Clutter, noise, brimming chaos
AI threatening to do our jobs
Pushing, pulling, stretching void
Competing with digital droids
An unreal life on a rushed clock
Clicking until time will stop!
Poetry inspired by the book cover for George Eliot. Scenes of Clerical Life. William Blackwood & Sons, 1857 — Source.
#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 22
I sieved the stars
Through my fingers
They fell on the ground
Now, sparkling dust!
The mist from my eyes
Mingled in the glass
The shimmer flowed
Into oceans and seas
Luminescence washed
Along a silver beach,
I picked up the shards
Of the broken stars.
One with the sand
By the shores, I stood
Crystal dreams in my hand
Clutched to my bosom.
Roaring skies demanded
The glitter be returned
For they carried visions,
Of a thousand Earths!
Poetry inspired by the book cover of Lord Dunsany. The Book of Wonder. London: William Heinemann, 1912 — Source.
#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 21
Traveling unrestrained
The vast wilderness
Floating on clouds
Making mistakes
Capturing the bliss
Of throwing care
To the whistling winds
That was meant to be
Our universal destiny.
But look at us now
And all our messy lives
Seeking happiness,
In paper money
Living in castles
Built of dead trees
On barren lands
Failing to behold
Nature that throbs
With the power
Of just being!
Poetry inspired by the book cover for F.A Pouchet. The Universe: The Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little. 13th edition. London: Blackie & Son, ca. 1896 — Source.
