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 ..


/original/zg

[ED-stanza 3-
' ripples in concentric circles
a magical exuberance
reaches out to embrace the earth ' /

addendum-/ line 1- little boy time spinning his top]

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

    Thank you!!

    Some marvellous statements of connectedness there - the human to everything.

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

    Dropping in here I am never disappointed. Thank you.

    Indeed! We are never so far away from the earthly mysteries though sometimes we are too busy to notice.

    you draw circles around the mystery of adolescence, and make it seem almost comprehensible! "Magical exuberance" indeed!

    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.)
