April 2023 Poetry Challenge


In the deep blue ocean where few dare to go,
Lives a creature that you must know,
Sharpear Enope Squid is its name,
And it's sure to leave you quite amazed.


With arms as long as the squid's own height,
And eyes that glow in the dark of the night,
This master of the deep is truly unique,
A fascinating wonder that's hard to critique.


Its color-changing skin is a sight to behold,
Shifting shades like a rainbow of gold,
A mesmerizing display that few have seen,
But for ocean explorers, it's a dream.


So next time you journey to the ocean's abyss,
Keep an eye out for this wondrous sea miss,
The Sharpear Enope Squid, a marvel to find,
A true masterpiece of nature's design.

"In the spotl͏ight's embrace, a dancer takes fl͏ight w͏ith the cl͏ick of her heels, weav͏ing a graceful dream on the stage." In response to dVerse Poetry Form: Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana For today’s poetry form, we are writing to the Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana which carries a fast staccato rhythm.

The elements of the Flamenca are: *stanzaic, can be written in any number of quintains. *syllabic, 6-6-5-6-6 syllables per line to imitate the rapid click of the heels of a dancer. *Line 2 and Line 5 assonate. (same vowel sounds) Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Spain Heels clicking, swift delight, On the stage, she takes flight. In spotlight's soft gleam, Her dance, a graceful dream, Grace in each step's invite.

Window Gazing

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
