JOY -- Ong Yock Leen; Ipoh, Malaysia

Juggling with my life,

joyful like a bird I fly

up in bright blue sky.

 

Over lands and seas

I fly. To the realm of joy

joyfully I fly.

 

Younger I become

while other lives are aging

aching suffering.

TIME, Sofia Ghassaei -- EEUU

Tick tock, the clock talks
telling time for mortal men,
it makes matter sing. 
 
Ideas flow through
in yellows and blue, none see
time pass as I do.
 
My hands, like clock hands,
moving in time and through space,
too fast or too slow,
 
Estimating the
process, the long sweet night, the
wait or weight of time.

SIGLEM 575: Minimalistic Poetry

A siglem 575 is a poem that is written based on the letters of the word or words that define the topic and constitute its title. The theme is open and the words that define it constitute the title, which is represented as a kind of acronym, written in uppercase. Each stanza has three verses, and the first word of the first one must begin with the corresponding letter of the acronym. The metric is 5-7-5, with free rhyme. Because of its acronym nature, the stanzas should be able to function independently as a self standing poem, and together, as part of a poem of several stanzas that revolves around the same theme. In a siglem 575 there are as many stanzas as letters are in the title.

HOPE


Help in many forms

our brothers and sisters

need it evermore.

 

Other people cry

disease and hunger are real

we’ll lend them a hand.

 

Peace and hope are here

they’ll grow stronger among us

in every heartbeat.

 

Eternal freedom

souls and spirits will survive

because we’re all one.
