A spark
that glows within
my heart like a spirit,
wants to be free from mortal cage.
A humble slave in love with The Supreme
I am part of The Luminous
burning eternally,
for years I'll be
a spark.

Great
Hi Ankeeta, this is poetry at its poetic best. Such simple words and such intense thoughts, wonderfully portrayed, loved reading it, and the touch of the da vinci code to go with it, what can I say !!!!! Awesome poem, keep writing. Would love to hear your comments on my poems too. -
WOW! One of the best rictameters I've read so far is this. Lovely choice of words that flow so beautifully and divinely together. Wonderful imagery and I see all rules followed. Not sure but I think a period is needed at the end of the last line.
Goodluck!

yesterday i began a mantra prayer, which i have continued to now, and it has sent a similar spark through me, dissipating a lot of inner darkness. it is a simple mantra:
"God, what can I do for you?"
that's all.
as for your poem, seems it should be possible to convey a little more using imagery in place of some of the abstract statements like "with the supreme". but clearly this form has its constraints, too. -
dear ankeeta,
your poem is awesome.
simply beautiful and full of wisdom.
its short form, carefully selected words perfectly combined to create a masterpiece of art and a powerful prayer.
I am amazed by your ability to concentrate your spirit unto the very essence and to reveal such a strong and profound message from your soul in this rictameter.
you have certainly done an incredible job !
-
This was a wonderful rictameter! You have truly shown experience with the form and have even used a variation of Da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' in this piece. You even kept this rictameter flowing with a meaning that we can all understand. The imagery is usually difficult to kept alive in form poems, but you have kept its pulse at a steady rate. Keep up the great work and good luck in the contest!

...you know this is what I am reading these days...but I have an assignment to submit by tuesday

'wishing to free from mortal cage,' - This line sounds odd in my my mind when reading it, there seems to be a word missing. The word 'be' before 'free'.
Spill ink and twist me into the shape of love...
-
sweet and simple. i liked the format and it flowed very nicely throughout. for how short it is, it is a pretty powerful poem. nice work, keep it up.
