Two Micropoems by Eva Petropoulou Lianou


Strange Days

Strange days
Strange behaviour
People are not going to correct direction
Like birds or whales
They lost their orientation
They are killing eachother
THey are jealous
They don't want the best of the neighbor
Earth is tired of humans.

War

The first word
Babies said before they walk in
Palestine
Shame to this humanity
How can you be happy
When in the other side
THey are sacrifing babies
Thousands babies
Pray for the souls of the innocents.

Two Micropoems by Nishat Jabeen

Eclipse

A thin line of eclipse
An impressive speck
Or a complete skew
This is how it threatens
My half-dozed mind
Shall ponder over
On the looming large rumination
Intertwines mind and heart
With a stark contrast
Let the battle decide
Whether the shadow fades or truth abides.

Alert!!

I wish
Our promises 
Should have a track 
Of long-lasting bring-off
Our shabby desires
In the backwoods of mind
Often goes off-track
Yet our senses
Call aloud
For a sense of self 
Altering...
Be serious!

Coffee With You and Four Other Micropoems by Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer


Spreading 
---------------------------------
Storm in the mind
Downpour in the heart
Lightning in the brain
I'm swimming in the air
Spreading rays of love around me!

Coffee With You 
---------------------------------
Completely refreshed
Too much agility
Moments of joy
Worriless from the world
A cup of coffee with you!

Paradise 
---------------------------------
Yesterday meeting
Today shopping
Tomorrow sightseeing
Each moment with you
Feel! I'm in paradise!

Because 
---------------------------------
I am flying
I capture the wind
I create words and rhythm
from the breeze
You know...how?
Because
You're with me!!!

Never Leave Me 
---------------------------------
When you say,
"You're a genius."
I touch the sky!

When you say,
"You deserve it."
It seems that
The universe is in my fist!

Promise dear
Will never leave me!!

My Seamstress, Mother of Mine, a Micropoem by Alessandro Russo

You smile at your thoughts
when they bare come,
you fit their figure
and define the garment
that most suits them,
sewing words
that can tell them
without stiffening,
without constraining them
to rise on tiptoe
to lenghten
some short reason.

Alessandro Russo was born in Castellammare di Stabia (Naples - Italy). He is the author of several books of poetry and has been awarded many national and international poetry awards.

Rare Flower, a Micropoem by Angela Kosta


Lost
In vain I searched for a flower 
That it had your sweet scent
I came back empty-handed 
And while I've seen you sleep 
Spellbound
I understood that nothing and no one 
Not even a rare flower
It would compare to your beauty 
to your irresistible freshness

Three Micropoems by Eva Petropoulou Lianou


Like
Hope is gold
Kindness is silver
Rude and stubborn are negativity
This planet needs only 
beautiful hearts to roll
Like a rolling stone.

Peace
We forgot ourselves
We forgot who we are
Killing eachother with a bomb
Killing eachother with a word

Angels
We communicate with Poetry
They hug us with music
People,
They become so evil
THey don't even recognize 
their face in the mirror
Pray to save your souls.

Summer, a Micropoem by Emmanuel Mettles

"I was scorching like a summer,
The birds burnt within,
Every pore, a dried tunnel
Ending day, bled,
And, at the last mo,
At the very latest mo,
The moon died,
Died....
The the last death.
And who paints it,
Who else paints it!
