Poem: Circles: Space & Time

Circles: Space & Time

Eye is the first circle
from which flows miracles
of this world's spectacles.

Two feasts for our eyes—
Sun in the day, Moon at night,
orbs shining in the skies.

No more writer's block
watching the wall clock
going tick-tock, tick-tock.

Planets motion not circular
Kepler finally came to grips
but rotating in an ellipse.

Just look all-around—
buttons & coins are round
as all collectors have found.

Travel on bicycle or car—
wheels you need to go far
guided by the North Star.

Cup & saucer for coffee or tea
under a ripe olive tree
with Oreo cookies as treats.

Cans & bottles have round
openings for drinking
isn't that profound?

From Monday to Sunday
recycling of the week—
returning in seven days.

Four seasons in a year—
after Winter, Spring appears,
that's the reason for good cheers.
