Kaleidoscope cocktail

🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

 

 

Cows milked: mitigated mooing in the meadows. 
Weaving on the warp, some workaholic women. 

Harvest of hapless halibuts on hooks. 
Bookish book-worms buried in books. 

A palomino and a pony patter on the paving. 
Hucksters and hawkers stalking every housing. 

Ravers out on the razzle raising a raucous razz-ma-tazz. 
Beavers busy building beaver-dams but about it quite blasé. 

Doves cooing in divine chorus. 
Frogs frisking out of focus. 
Horoscopes are hocus pocus. 

Tidal waves of tsunami treacherously tread. 
Sea-anemones scattered upon the sea-bed. 

Geraniums genuflecting in jungle-like gardens. 
Hunters wary of wandering wild-life wardens. 

All this when I ventured about videotaping. 
Nature's much nicer even with no landscaping. 

These are direly different scenes from various parts of the globe.
Perhaps like a space probe's kaleidoscopic poetic probe...

    nicely written

    It sounds like Alice's garden in wonderland in a surreal world and indeed that is where we live. Nicely written with great images and a fun trip indeed.

    Love the use of alliteration and imagery as a poetic kaleidoscope😊

    I really enjoyed reading your poem, my friend. I smiled at the playful sounds, the clever word combinations, and the vivid, unexpected images. You have a lovely way of making words dance and bringing ordinary scenes to life in such an imaginative way. I especially enjoyed the sheer delight you take in language. Thank you for sharing this little gem with us!

          Those beavers cracked me up, Zaynab. I'd be demanding a nap and some recognition after that much work! Well written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          Enjoyed. Meadows reminds me of the Summer that - Alas - has now gone.

          • 🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

            Then you should come over here where summer never ends, while us keep wishing for oooh exotic winter wonderlands of snow. Thanks for lovely comment,

              Hi there,

              I really enjoyed the clever wordplay in this, particularly the alliteration. I liked the bookworms buried in books and the horoscopes being hocus pocus. A very enjoyable read.

              - Syd 🍄
