Desert Sands (a 55 word poem)
Golden dunes
cold air floating
Unexpectedly
Where is spring
in our desert land
passing unnoticed?
Inescapable
swept by wind
grains of sand
Desert wind
gives no chance
a home to be made
Unexpectedly
with the rain fall
resting sands
Again sun appears
grains of sand
without home
A true nomad
traveling wind
a desert sand

I took up .:A:.'s tag too, and its quite a challenge isnt it :)
Yours is really nice.
Great one. Love the end.
"A true nomad

Do you want to add the technorati tag?
55 word poem
Ditto to A, sorry I've been really busy but will be posting more now it's half term,
I think its very difficult (at least for me) to put things in form of poem, to add to that, its in 55 words or any fixed number of words.
Wow!
Beautiful.
'A true nomad

a desert sand'
Unexpected.....unnoticed.....inescapable...Air...Land...Sand. Just one word...remarkable.
Great job!
I don't think I can manage to do that! Maybe because I won't be able to count till 55 :P
Good one, Nasra. I haven't been to many deserts, except the one in Australia. "It's so quiet" was the first thing that struck me.
I could never do daily-type challanges. I just can't commit.
You rose to the challenge Nasra, I enjoyed this. I will try do it.
Nasra's Poems (a 55 word comment on Desert Sands)
Nasra,
dear friend,
pencil in your hand
turns words into art.
Nasra,
dear friend,
present your desert land
to people far apart.
Nasra,
dear friend,
you bridge between cultures
gentle though strong.
Nasra,
dear friend,
I am grateful to your gift
Uplifting to us all.
Nasra,
dear friend,
a poetic lighthouse
standing strong and tall.
Just a try in admiration ;-).
There's a repetitiveness that gives it a kind of hypnotic feel...
Thank you :)
Very, very nice, Nasra. I just adore your poetic voice. It's so refreshing.
Nice, Iamnasra, I never thought over the fact - until now - that in a desert there is no spring...
never, never thought about this!
Well how glad can we be in Germany with all our rain and rain and rain...
Silly Adventures,
I think you have expressed the right words, also how I feel when reading the poem from nasra.
There's just something abt the desert that appeals to me..I just find it romantic..;) you've done a good job here.. Your pic reminds me of my recent visit to Dubai, too lazy to post the pics on my site just yet.
i have never been to a desert and yet you bought it alive to me. wow nasra, great work!!!
good job nasra ....ur so talented mashAllah :D
pretty cool work and 55 words too. isn't that hard? limiting your words to 55. it can't be longer and neither can it be shorter...but i like it!
Nasra, I like your poem. It paints a beautiful spheric picture. I just tried this 55 poem too.
Nice to see my picture put into words
