Five Micropoems by Sabyasachi Nazrul

The Metal Bird 

Standing on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea 

Waiting for you

You will come riding 

on the wings of a metal bird

The metal bird brought you 

down to Alexandria!

□

Cannot Wait 

No no no 

The journey is not over

Cannot wait! 

The boat leaked 

As the water enters little by little 

I sank to the bottom of the sea!

□

Waiting 

Dewdrops on the tip of the grass

Waiting for a kiss 

on the lips of the holy rose

Just you and me

Come on, hug me...!

□

At the Sea 

I went out one night 

without telling you

At the sea

The journey is unending 

Do you keep the door open today?

□

Do Not Delete 

The right to knock 

on the door of the mind

I lost when I was not in you!

Not in existence

do not delete the memory!

A Piece of Bread, A Micropoem by Angela Kosta

A piece of bread
To fill your stomach
For day and night;
Life Partner,
Who screams miserable existence,
Wait, just wait,
It will end in a short time!
To be born
Defeated by cruel fate
Whose fault is all this?
Am I guilty of myself?
Were we unwanted by God?

Five Micropoems by Tasneem Hossain

Life 

The sun shines, sets again; 

Rainbow disappears, reappears again;

Sorrows come with mighty blows,

Giving way to happiness aglow;

Life is a blend of sorrows and pain;

Love and laughter you will regain.

Nothing in this world will forever remain.

□

 

Stay Bold 

Behold her beauty-

Butterflies can't resist.

Bright and brilliant-

Beauty at its best.

Stay bold and blissful 

My beautiful babe!

□

 

Phoenix Rises

Seeds, buds, petals

Flowers bloom on trees

Phoenix rises!

□

 

Rippling 

Stars in sky-

Lovers kiss on tumbling boat 

Rippling sea waves!

□

The Show Goes on 

I sit blindfolded, as I see:

Puppets dance on whims of masters.

Hooded monkeys jump to catch the ball;

Masquerading ladies sip tea, lavishly, indoors.

Gossip and bicker fake eyelashes curl.

The drummer beats the drum;

The rat steals from indoors.

I sit blindfolded

the show goes on...!

A Violent Wave, A Micropoem by Intizor Samandarova

There is a flash in the eyes,

Fire in the heart,

My heart is full of excitement,

And longing for happiness,

There is trust in heart,

No place for fear,

I am ready for a violent wave!

Three Micropoems by Nolcha Fox

Juice

Every word a tiny knife

that slashed deep chasms

in her skin.

The day squeezed grapefruit

in the cuts, and how 

they burned, they burned.

□

Dangling

Conversations swim away.

I try to lure them with a worm

that dangles, wiggles,

doesn’t catch a thing.

□

What He Is

He is a sonic boom

wrinkling my walls.

He is a disco ball

reflecting the sun.

He is a bullet

searching for the sky.

He is an oil slick

evading the record of his misdeeds.

Three Micropoems by Dr. H. C. Zbigniew Roth

My Geraniums

Morning

raindrops are falling on the streets today

they clean the facades of all houses from dust

sunburnt geraniums on balconies

in the September rain, they raise their temples!

□

South

Need not be afraid of the cloudy sky above them!

today swayed by gusts of gentle wind

staring at the gray over the colorful green

on the stage of the theater of our weekday!

□

Evening

When in the evening dark clouds cover the sky above them

with the sparks of my happiness, I will light up the sky above

I will share the rainbow of my smile with everyone

it can make the leaven of happiness in our hearts!
