A wave is an emotion in motion
undulating moodily like a mood swing
responding with commotion
to moon’s manipulation of strings
rising and falling then rising again
billowing and surging, sometimes shimmying
moving unfettered, without restrain
basking in love; happily shimmering.
Today’s prompt is to write a concrete poem.
I could have written the whole poem in the shape of wave but it would have been difficult to read. I also did try it in Word. You can see the screenshot of the dismal result below.

This is great Punam! Both the poem and it’s form

Bravo, Punam. Your wave is nothing short of inspired. I just could not get my head around this one. As you know, art does not come easily or quickly to me! 🙂

Tracy, if art doesn’t come easily to you, think of poor me!!
Since I can’t draw a straight line, I went with a wavy one. 😉
Thanks so much. ❤️

Personally, I think visuals are best left to visual artists, opera to trained singers and poets should be content to create with words. But what do I know? I enjoyed your poem, being able to read it in straight lines and imagining the wave (’emotion in motion’). I can, honest. 🙂

Beautiful poem, handwriting and drawing.Your wavy poetry has drawn a bald man’s head. Art can be anything. Art does not always have to be pleasant.It should show some message. That’s all. Poonam ❤️

Thanks, Jane. I am an artist with words not paint and brush. A bald head sounds good. 😂 It means I need more practice with drawing.

“moon’s manipulation of strings” – I found these words very beautiful. I loved your poem handwritten in the form of a wave, and also applaud you for sharing your efforts in other art forms. Attempting something is so good for the heart, better than not trying – I often assume I am not good, so don’t try. I do believe and try to be the opposite. Lovely poem about emotions that do feel like waves.
