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

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

    Great! They are all so good. I haven't thought of abra
    ca dabra in years. And, it fits so well.

    The last one hit the mark, but they're all very good.

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

    I can see them all in my mind's eye. I do enjoy your "weird abra ca dabra" line in the first. All are wonderful.
