The Daily Fret~ Quest for Annus Mirabilis

The Daily Fret~ Quest for Annus Mirabilis
Starting 1 March, I shall be attempting the "Daily Fret"; a simple
attempt to look for poetry in the simple everyday. For seconds tick away before we realize a life has been lived. It must not go by uninspired, unnoticed.

This blog in this respect aspires to be a Dialogue, and not just a listening post; so freely comment and participate, its a resonant communique we all crave-You to I, and I to You.

Happy reading.

The Daily Fret;Stanza 8

Metaphors

Vagrant ways-
Are ever sought,
And fancy words,
For random thoughts;

In glances scattered,
That meet do not,
But thrown enough,
Like little sparks.

In life's alleys,
That grim and stark,
To speeding lives,
Do seem a lot;

Like a blur most,
Where seems the past,
And future's rush,
On headlong paths-

Where traffic corners,
Scream yellow dots,
From red smug ,
That green so sought;

For winking sly;
Our games are fraught,
In dot to dots,
Or cross and naughts…

“Where to start?
Everything cracks and shakes,
The air trembles with similes,
No one world's better than another;
the earth moans with metaphors.”
― Osip Mandelstam
