Mirage Surprise Poem by s.zaynab kamoonpury
Mirage Surprise
I thought mirages appeared
only in the scorching desert heat
but today right from
Our very own comfy vehicle seat
I spotted several, one after another
upon the paved tarmac street!
Each mirage vanishing
upon our nearing
the midst of the clearing
Each pool of water shimmered
as a ray of hope glimmered
that we touch that shiny water
with our car tyre!
So we literally chased mirages
like in a wild goose chase.
A divine light trick of sun rays
Ah, all the phenomena He created
lying there waiting
to be appreciated.
Gleaming glinting puddles in the midst of the road
all the way till we reached our abode.
(Mind you this poem isn't metaphorical
this is the actual
phenomenon of mirages
and they're a sight quite special.
Viewable via eye and camera lens yet untouchable
I've lived in three regions of Africa, West, East and South
This mirage made me think of the North
Where desert dunes abound, deserts with no river mouth.
Amazing word sketch of a natural phenomena we call mirage. Nicely captured first-hand images. Awesome write. Thank you, zaynab mdm.
this mirage makes me think/interesting ideas are woven all through/glad to ponder on/
The mirage of a wet road, a rainbow in the sky, the horizon above the sea, our eyes give us so many illusions and surely beautiful they are. The poem is well written. These things make me sometimes question, what the astronomers are seeing, how many of these things are plays of light and how many of these things are solid facts.
An amazing poem indeed, it really pictures the experience and is written wonderfully thank you for a great poem.
That picture really capture the illusion created by the mirage, and way you write it it just like a diary of a traveler sharing the experience, and has some interesting lines that make the write beautiful :)
A creative and compelling composition that is both rich and refreshing like a oasis!
Beautiful poem. .... ray of hope glimmered... Nice line Thought expressed well.
