Watching you
As you scream in fear.

Reflections A-Z 2019

Hiya readers,

It has been a roller coaster month of April for me. Being my first A-Z Challenge, I have a feeling I missed out on some important stuff, but at least, I got to complete the challenge.

Yes, I'm a survivor (feeling like a Warrior Princess) and trust me when I say it was not easy. Writing poetry might sound fun (it is too), but writing it for a theme (A-Z) and trying to bring as much diversity as possible made it teeny bit tough.

This was definitely interesting, and I will hopefully participate next year. :)

Thank you, for hosting this challenge. I'm glad I could be a part of it in your tenth year.

The Wish

From behind the glass
A fairy
Wanted to be loved.

Poetry form: Lune

How Real is it?

“Fall in love with the colors of spring.” She twirled, a crown of daisies adorning her auburn ringlets.

The cameras clicked her pictures in delight, as tender petals danced around her.

Four hours later…

The artificial trees were removed from the air-conditioned film set.

Zephyr's Gift

Soft and gentle,

He touched my hair 

Lifting the tendrils 

To dance with abandon.

Warm and cool,

He soothed my soul

Blowing a sweet kiss

To wipe the traces of pain.

Spring or autumn,

He never left me alone

Filling my senses 

With the fragrance of flowers and leaves.

Mist and snow,

He brought along at times

Sliding over my face

As I stare at the sky.

Tugging my skirt,

He teased me to follow

To the ends of the earth

Hoping to catch a glimpse.

Was he a spirit,

Or an invisible little boy?

Was he the God of the west wind,

Blowing to stake a claim?

Day and night,

He acted as my knight

As people asked about my secret smile

I laughed, calling it Zephyr's Gift.

Note:
Zephyr is the name of the Greek God of the West Wind.
That was where the meaning of breeze got attached to the word.
And... we are done!!
I did the challenge of one poem per day for an entire month. :D

Yarn of the Sailors

The image is taken from Pixabay. 

The waves were still

As the ship glided

On the onyx waves

Randomly shimmering silver

In the pearly moonlight.

Cards and bottles on the desk 

They sat in a circle

Singing in hoarse voices

The songs of valor, pride, and sea

Spinning tales of mermaids and sirens. 

'Her emerald eyes, ruby lips

Soft as raspberries,

The tail shining like diamonds

She beckoned to me

Promising to show the buried treasure.'

'Fire at her fingertips,

Honey in her voice,

She swayed with the waves,

Her curves promising surprises,

Only if I brought her the head of the three-eyed monster.'

Laughter echoed in the silent night

Until, one after another 

The sailors sunk 

Into their cold beds

Tired and lonely in the middle of the sea.

Each night the yarn spun

Weaving a web of intrigue

Around the sailing ship

Unknown to the sailors

As sirens and mermaids followed them home. 

***********

Note:
Yarn also means the stories a sailor invents to pass time. So you see what I did here. :)
 Just another day to go.
