Outdoor Chess |
Out in the
sun,
under my beguiled glances,
they stand
like works of art.
The motley
of colors,
the sparkle
of sunbeams
onto the
marble pieces,
beatifies my
garden.
With black
and white,
and some grey,
and, oh,
there is green, too,
and brown and blue,
how can I not
love this place
where I wait
for you?
Oh, how can’t
I?
The visual becomes the feeling! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gemma! Glad you liked it. :)
Deletethis is good Vaishali....you gave it another touch.....lovely...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice words, Sreeja. :)
Delete..beguiled glances, sunbeams, radiant color... I think someone is in love ;)
ReplyDeletelol I'm in love with words, yes! :) Thanks for stopping by, Margaret.
DeleteI laugh with the same joy
ReplyDelete"how can I not love this place
where I wait for him?
Oh, how can’t I?"
Thank you for this gift.
I'm happy for you, Susan. :)
DeleteWhat a vivid description of colors in the form of words you have given Vaishali. So, did the wait get over for 'him' or were you left sitting there all by yourself?
ReplyDeleteNice post. Keep posting :)
lol To tell you the truth, I don't know where the 'wait' came in. I was just describing the chess and the colors and suddenly..oh well, that's how words get into poems, I guess. :)
DeleteThanks a bunch, Jay, for appreciating what I wrote! :)
Ahha....so there's a hidden secret in this event we are talking of....and then, what happened Vaishali? ;)
DeleteOoh mystery mystery! :D :D
DeleteSee the grey bench in there? That caught my eyes and I was like, "I got my ending."
I mostly don't know what my poems would end like. "Write and you shall know" it seems! :)
Hmmm, I see, you've made use of the props present in the environment of your poetry.
ReplyDeleteIts good, in a way, not to know your endings. Then you can bring an end in the most unlikeliest of all manners :)
Totally agree with you, Jay. Totally.
DeleteI feel AWESOME when I get an ending out of nowhere[even when sometimes it feels gross to read the change of direction the poem/story takes but, well, who doesn't like something different and as you said, something unlikely?] :)
Yes, the pursuit of the unthinkable and different is a very exciting and challenging journey, throws up quite a few surprises in the way.
DeleteTry this out for an unlikely twist...
