spectacle

the sun disappears
weird abra ca dabra
a total eclipse!
....................
combating darkness
scholarly bespectacled
poets like fireflies

a giant cactus
prospers in adversity
a huge spectacle!
......................
miss universe crown
specific parameters
determine beauty!
.....................
calamity strikes
their dreams and hopes washed away
floods disastrous floods

  2. I enjoyed these, but the last is truly poignant. It reminds me of the looming hurricane approaching the already devastated New Orleans, LA.

  4. Great! They are all so good. I haven't thought of abra

  8. What a wonderful range of spectacles. I love the "magic" of the first one and the tragic poignancy of the last. Well done.
