Tangerine closes about me.
The wind,
Touching my breasts, my inner spaces,
Caresses this silent lucidity.
In the distance, whispers carry
seductive invitations to misplaced dreams.
My nightmares writhe
In the butterfly death dance and
… release me.
The ebb and flow of the sea…
A hypnotic panacea.

I have .:A:. to thank for this. This was so much fun - even though I did take too long doing it! :-)

beautiful verses! hypnotized by the pic
Good work. You are a certified 100% sea-o-phile. Welcome to the club!
Ah, this was worth the wait. I like the sensual imagery in this piece.
Have added it to the list of 55 word poems.
Thanks for taking it up.
nice one :)
very well done.
Hmmm...
A little beyond me to be frank. I think ofm e as one who is short on verses and poetry. Can never imagine composing any and understanding one takes immense amount of work for my feeble brain.
But writing a poem in 55 words and expressing in a limited art form is definately a feat.
I savour the pic which, quite honestly, is the main course for me, if I could make your blog posts a meal.
Nicely written.
Encore.
LOL!!!
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Lord!
whoopsidaisies. amazing. see now this is where you literature grads have a more than marginal advantage over us techhies aspiring to be literati. this also reminds me i still have a 55-word story pending. will put in an honest effort soon. cheers.
yeah, you should be proud. it's really beautiful. :-)
Amazing verses and an absolutely soul stirring pic :)
Well done!
Jo

@Everyone: Forgive the tardiness since I am out of town, with not enough time to blog. Will be back Sunday with some awesome pics and stories! :)
That was good. I must try my hands at 55 words too!
I really like the lines:
In the distance, whispers carry
seductive invitations to misplaced dreams.
A good work of art in just 55 words. Wonder what you can do in 500. :-)
In addition to the posts, I absolutely love your responses to comments. Nice old world charm, really.
Beautiful poem too.
I wonder how one manages to express himself in the limit.
Fascinating!
@Finnegan: There seem to be a lot of these virtual black holes happening and am glad this one stayed! I think you're right - I love the discipline and the distilling these constraints provide. Am so glad you liked it! :)
@Gautami: Thanks -for both commenting and dropping by! A
@Incognito: Well, 500 maybe too many! ;)
