NaPoWriMo Day 8 – Sway of the Dancing Fountain
Dancing Fountain; Photo by: macnusser
Swish, swash, the water splash
Straight up, and side to side;
That is her sway under the moonlight.
Swish, swash, the water splash again
Now bends from east to west;
That is her sway in sync of the tune.
In an infinity curve, the waters spurt
Bursting, rushing, chasing each other
There is no end but to all in embrace.
In symphony of music they dance
Swaying like ballerinas on a pedestal
There is no end but in time to say goodbye.
I smile when I see you dance;
I am in awe to watch you move.
You make me sing when you play your song;
But it feels so sad, it’s time to say goodbye.
NaPoWriMo Day 4 – Metamorphosis
Dubai Festival of Lights – Dubai, UAE
Plain and dull –
Light of daytime brings you,
Let it be!
Beneath the skyline –
Red orb sun sinks in,
Rejoice in it!
Array of crystals –
Beautiful translucent balls you are,
See it through!
Vibrant and colorful –
Night of elegance we savor,
Dwell with us!
From mere plastic –
Transformed, molded and hand painted,
And now illuminated!
Bright and cheerful –
Beauty inside light brings you,
Let it be!
I attempted to follow the writing prompt of the day presented in NaPoWriMo website, that is to write a lune. A lune is a sort of English-language variation of Haiku, meant to better render the tone of the Japanese haiku. There are a couple of variants on the lune form, but today we tried the version developed by Jack Collum. His version of the lune involves a three-line stanza – the first line has 3 words, the second line has 5 words, and the third line has 3 words.
