A bee see

A big commotion,
Darkness explodes.
Fire grows,
Heated ignition.
Justice keeps leading me,
Nowhere or paradise.
Quiet readiness, searching.
Truth, under veils.
With x-rays;
Your Zen.

Slouching Mom gave a bit of a challenge and at first I thought there was no way I would even attempt it, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. If you notice, each word begins with a consecutive letter of the alphabet. I like the restrictions mixed with the freedom of poetry, it was a wonderful balance. Give it a try! Be sure to let Slouching Mom know and she'll link you up!

There is a great big KayTar update just below, if you go for that sort of thing and haven't seen it yet.

Ohh, I love it. And "x-rays!" It made sense for you to use it!

X was tough, even tougher than Z, I thought.

Beautiful! These are all so clever and compelling!

Ma said...

Good one! With all the scandals that appear seemingly daily, it makes me wonder whether the justice handed down will lead us to nowhere or to paradise. Here's hoping for paradise eventually.

Really lovely.

Emily said...

Excellent!

Thanks for stopping by my post.

Hoping that your KayTar is well, soon. We did weight checks with our oldest daughter, every 2 weeks for 2 years. She is quite petite, (10 yrs. old, 52 lbs.) but healthy, now. She had no reserves to fight off illness when she was little, but she is amazingly resilient and finds strength in her that inspire us all. I hope that for KayTar.
