***allusion poem 1***
Dream girl - by Mukeshkumar Mafatlal Raval, India
Had I been a bird
I would have flown in 360 degrees
and searched you in every breeze and cloud
at every cliff y or treetop
at every river ,pond or at hill slope.
Had I been a fish
I would have looked for you
in sea weeds,on sea mounds
or in the conchs or in tiny openings of shells.
Had I been a deer
grazing green green grass,
tasting the Scottish dew
or sipping the cream of the highlands;
I might have found you under the shade of Olive trees
but nowhere did i find
you nor your shadow.
But if I were a mirror
I would have gazed you
in my smile, in my tears,
resting under the coolness of my winks,
strolling in the pink valley of my dimple

SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY - by Elena Toledo, USA
She walks in beauty, eyes soft,
Innocent; silky breast that captures
men’s heart, her alarming whiteness,
making angels turn dark.
In times of sorrow, she's the light; if she
cries, her tears breakdown into drops of
divine moist. Wrapped in her skin, never
has a sin, her lips turn to fear in
the eyes of evil. Her sacred presence makes earth
heavenly; her beauty blinds the power of vision,
her virtuous is an envious, making instinct
jealousy take over. She walks in beauty.
***allusion poem 3***
FIREBIRD - by Lee Emmett, Australia
nothing prepares us for brilliant
entrance of creature of fantasy
or object of enchantment
useless to resist its allure
always takes unawares
drawn to its fiery nature
is instantly smitten
inflames
irresistibly
soul’s taken to pyre
heart reduces
to ashes:
hence Icarus’ fate
and the tale of Phoenix
***allusion poem 4***
NIGHT - by Phil Etekamba Udoh, Nigeria
Silence and still not total;
the clock’s tick-tock,
the creaking of ceiling boards,
the stridulations of crickets in cracks…
Nothing,
nothing but depressing darkness-
inky black,dripping with gravity
A struggle to parley with the non-physical-
tossing, turning
to commune with the mind
and its weird antics
Rare reports of howling watchdogs
warding off creatures of the night,
seen and unseen,
howling in harmony…
Expectancy,
anticipation of daylight
eyes open in a sea of lightless night
ears keen to sounds nuusual
mind alert to jump into action
Night,
canter away dark horse and
let light pervade!
FUCK
