Fountain-head
waters arc
Nasrid built symmetry
white noise garden sanctuary
blue.

Tourist
animating gazes
watching upon belly
moving mirror captures sky
memories.

Submitted as part of “National Poetry Writing Month – 2017” (#NaPoWriMo2017).  Today’s prompt: write a double elevenie. What’s that? Well, an elevenie is an eleven-word poem of five lines, with each line performing a specific task in the poem…. A double elevenie would have two stanzas of five lines each, and twenty-two words in all. It might be fun to try to write your double elevenie based on two nouns that are opposites, like sun and moon, or mountain and sea.
