circles.(osi)

' adolescence '

little boy time spinning his top

turning the gold and silver wheels
of a teenager's bicycle
rolls on till the end of the road

a pebble of adolescence
drops into the deep still waters
stirs life's unknown eternity

reaching out to embrace the earth
a magical exuberance
ripples in concentric circles

spinning his top little boy time ..

  1. Three good poems, zoya!
    Especially liked the third one--felt the ripples extending out to embrace ever more circles...

  7. They're all good, but I so love the last one ... I love the word "concentric" ...

  13. Zoya, your last solitary line put these into perspective for me, spinning items in a young fellow's physical life. (Please don't ask me about the "pebble of adolescence
    drop[ing] into the deep still waters" as I like what my imagination tells me.)
