For the poetry challenge.
Lately, floating clouds are stained
strange madness penetrating,
skies darkness thickening
before billow can change;
lately, rays have no beam
or wink between leaves,
no trace of plume lingers
up in high tops of trees;
lately, swift breath of invisible breeze
now bakes in heat like our earth’s core,
dust now lingers on polluted surface
time accelerated too late for a cure.
Or maybe I’m a feathered ghost
interwoven, with migrating birds,
carried through a ruptured mantle
to where my soul can rest in peace.
I loved it, excellent poem thank you very much for joining and sharing this delicately crafted poem.
Thank you so much for your kind words and letting me know you enjoyed.

Thankyou for reading. Punctuation isn’t my strongest part of writing, so thank you for your guidance.

Now done. Thank you again Gothicman.

A well written poem. These days, poems, in terms of form and content are going through a shift from the conventional prescriptions and proscriptions; so we see poems without any punctuation at all.

It is guided from the belief of empowering the readers. I think this makes sense to me as an alternative way of looking at writing poems. Well done. Keep writing more on this.
Hi there supratik, I just love the freedom that poetry gives today. Punctuation is not my strong point as you will discover, but where and when my imagination takes me is the best feeling.
I haven’t really had time to write of late, being busy is one thing, but it does put a strain on the creative side of writing.
Thank you for your comment which was heartening. I will really need to sit down and think!

Hi Featheredwing, you may have received a pm from Admin on the matter, but I need you to set the next poetry challenge! Do you accept?
Hello ifyouplease, I haven’t received any mail from Admin on the matter. If you would really like me to set the next poetry challenge, I’ll have a go, but I’m not sure exactly what it entails.
