A cocktail of kaleidoscope

Alliteration form, Scenes in cities ,meadows and outskirts of towns

Cows milked: mitigated mooing in the meadows then.
Weaving on the warp, some workaholic women.

Harvest of hapless halibuts on hooks
Bookish book-worms buried in books

A palomino and a pony patter on the paving
Hucksters and hawkers hawking every housing.

Ravers out on the razzle raising a raucous razz-ma-tazz
Beavers busy building beaver-dams but about it quite blasé.

Doves cooing in divine chorus
Frogs frisking out of focus
Horoscopes are hocus pocus.

Tidal waves of tsunami treacherously tread
Sea-anemones scattered upon the sea-bed.

Geraniums genuflecting in jungle-like gardens
Hunters wary of wandering wild-life wardens.

All this when I ventured about watching videos or videotaping
God's nature is marvelous even without any landscaping

These are direly different scenes from different parts of the globe
Perhaps like a space probe's kaleidoscopic poetic probe

Doves cooing in divine chorus
Frogs frisking out of focus
Horoscopes are hocus pocus.

An engaging frolic through alliteration word play and surreal imagery.

Interesting poem, it seems like you're taking on a different style.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yeah i get into different styles and blends unwittingly I guess. Thanks for the feedback!

Everywhere we look, there is life...and we can not only enjoy the view but learn from nature, learn from others...
you had me at Cows...I spent all my summers in my youth on farms in Vermont...milked cows, walked the pastures among them...still love them.
thanks for this trip down memory lane.

Nature where ever you are is magical and beautiful. It’s intricate and colorful. I love the description of nature doing what it is suppose to do.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Warm thanks for your fine poetic appreciation of nature. Take care.

[John the Baptist]

This is a virtual cascade of images, much like looking through a kaleidoscope. There does not appear to be any linkage between the scenes, so I think the main point of the poem is to present an effect.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yeah kaleidoscopic scenes dont link i guess as cocktail too is a blend with different items so the point was to present different scenes from around the world. Thanks soo much for the review! All the best...

[Neville]

............... extraordinarily colourful .. a great beat that had me tapping my feet ................ :)

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

'A cocktail of kaleidoscope'
S.zaynab.kamoonpury,
You have given a scrapbook of images in a delightful rhyme. It is in this musical(alliteration) that the thoughts pick up it's own memories of said subjects. I know I did. Pretty fun to go along enjoying the thoughts that above words give opportunity to experience from own life. Oh the joys of the day to day and how often do we think on once done? Your last line definitely tied nicely to your title. This prose was a delight!!
Blessings as always,
Kathy
