a glimpse of creativity

[lightningr5]

Please note I did that as assignments for a class and therefore was under time pressure. Maybe I could've done better but I guess, I wouldn't have done it at all. So... Enjoy :)

Thou shall have a heartbeat of my existence.
Lo and behold this piece of art of mine. May it appeal to thee, may it enlighten thee... or not.


The Panther

His gaze got tired from the passing of the bars,
and so he does not keep a thing.
It seems to him, as if there were a thousand bars
and behind these bars no world.

The gentle walk of footsteps, smooth and strong,
turning in the smallest of circles,
is like a dance of power round a center
in which stunned, a great will exists.

Only sometimes does the curtain of the pupil
open soundlessly. Then a picture pours in,
flowing through the silence of tense limbs -
and in the heart does stop existing.


Limerick
There once was a guy some place
who desperately wanted to win a race.
His means were not fair.
He pulled a guy's hair
but the guy turned around and punched his face.


Clerihew
In the mountains of Himalaya walks
a big white someone who rarely talks.
He has never been seen for he is very shy.
Bigfoot, they call the guy.
