Celestial Charade

Crowded May mist...
sparkling mirror lights
wind to uncover agate dust.

Swirl,

    haze,

        daze,

              replicate.

Avenge darkness...
sear with the power of a thousand suns. 

Author notes

This is a new direction in poetry I was tempted to try after reading a Japanese serialized manga called Bleach. The characters have a certain spell casting procedure with verse that are focused on a certain listing of adjectives and nouns to isnpire an effect. So I am going the same way. The title is the initial image and I am working upon it to create a certain image or feeling inside the reader. There is no particular meaning.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

      Yes, exactly. I just loved their way and I wanted to experiment with some of my own. I have to think of some new ones.

    You should really focus yourself with this style and give us a new form to inspire! I like the "listing" as
    it gives only a small building block to make our assumptions on or draw conclusions from.
    The ending couplet is one of positive reinforcement. Again, I would place 'a' before
    thousand just for fluid reading.

      I like these. In my fiction writing these are actually spells, battle spells but summoned with the most lyrical verses. This is Light Technique 66: creates a small scale high explosive star field and the former you read was Sky Technique 40: calls 10 lightnings that coil like serpents. Perhaps I should feature these in the author notes.
