LIKE THE FLOWING RIVER'S POEMS AND SCORES

Lap #7 Round #1
21 Syllables
----------------

Sitting alone,
lost in space.
Speechless,
in shock,
Could I be
a victim
of betrayal?

Lap #7 Round #2

Tanka
--------------
Your teary eyes gaze
so still at her reflection,
recalling how she
whispers her cries, with the rain
drops coming down the window.

Lap 7 Round 3. Water

I drifted in the ocean once
capsized from a dinghy,
saving only a jug of water
and myself.

Three days alone at sea
three days down in the sea
drown-proofing for hours
as I burned.

Before rescue - even before
delirium - I feared being eaten;
until fourth morning floating
with breath held.

Stroked down with arms,
raised my head and exhaled
and made my kick to rise
struck my heel.

Whirled around eye-to-eye
with an eye big as my face
screaming silenced in salty gag
kicking away.

It was a whale benign but huge;
stayed with me that day
until a coast guard cutter
brought me home.

Lap 7 round 4 (free verse)

H2O

I'm the cause of this existence,
with two oxygen atoms
bound to two hydrogens,
I sculpt mountains,
grow wheat
and invade more than 70% of your earth.
People, why waste me?
I'm a lifetime cure,
priceless for sure.

Lap # 7 Round # 5, use the word " Microscope"

You are my world

I always wanted to travel
the space, sometimes I
dreamed of myself reaching
the moon and stabbing it
with our happy typical flag,
then I loved you badly that
I was over the moon, beyond
space, and way farther than
the biggest planets that
people didn't find out yet,
I am happy that I didn't lose faith
for now I've seen the whole world
in smaller grains, ones no body
will ever see, not if they peek eyes
through a silly microscope,
it lays in a crumb of love, and hope.

Lap 7 Round 6

Wild card (21 syllables)
--------------
To be forgotten, scares me
the most. What if tomorrow,
I wake up to find you gone ?

Lap #7, Round #7

Cats

Scratching my window pane,
drawing a road map of insanity,
with your big blue eyes starring at
that last piece of cookies I hold.
Hey kitty kitty kitty,
I guess it will just be you and me.

Lap 7 round 8 aabab

Why are you sitting on chair?
Come close to me darling right here
You know I want to hug you
stop watching here and there
Because all I know my love is true

Lap #7, Round #9

PnQ member
-------------
To Rabea

The voice of truth is what he portray
Always honest on whatever he says
He pulls me back when my mood is grey
Drawing a smile on my face everyday

I once gave him a nickname of how much he used to weigh
I thought he would misunderstand, and say she is so cliche
But instead he put that name on his profile display
And from that day I knew that his soul is just so fey

Despite what he was, or he is, he will always stay
A good man in my sight no matter what he convey
He may give the impression that he just wants to play
But I believe that if I trust him, he will never betray

He is a brother, and a person who will always repay
Never leaves a friend wandering half ways
I remember when my rhythms were stuck on a replay
He helped me to explore and go in different ways

The power in his words is magical in someway
So when he left, he took my inspiration away
The train of thoughts never had a stop on my way
Wishing for it to stop once, became my only pray

Lap 7 Round 10. Alliterative verse

Abby observes but bans banality
since once deciding to announce contest
dare to do and demand dominance
for fun in fast and furious we have confessed.

Lap 7 Round 11
5 Lines
---------------

Hands linked, walking side-by-side
every step is like a heartbeat
a declaration of our partnership.
Exchanging smiles and giggles,
the sound of love flourishing.

Scoreboard updated.

Lap #7 Round # 12 Halloween

I'm all dressed up, fancy and weird
sparkling crown around my head
completing the gold around my neck,
swirling all night with my almighty dress
I wake up tired, surrounded by mess
but what the heck, I have no servants
I'm no longer a queen, such a sad
day after Halloween.

Lap 7 Round 13

Toilet
--------------
Crashing waves upon the white walls,
thundering sounds awaiting for the
tsunami to wash away all the trails
of humanity.

Perfect scene taken from,an everyday
movie that you never fail to catch,
happily you always get the first class
seat to the premiere of your own movie,
played and directed by you, under the
name of -"Flush your toilet".

Lap 8 Round 1

21 Syllables

Running through the grass,
Swimming in the sea,
Swinging from the tree,
Smiling, who must I be

Lap 8 round 2 tanka

Curling waves dancing
The Ship moves dangerously
Heavy rain dark storm
Making worst all positions
Horrible face of nature
