Terzanelle 1:Untitled
By Mushtaque Barq
Who in my attire is whirling at bay
shaking hands with the wandering wild frill,
luring this pulse mine to call it a day?
nursing never this half buried seed's fill
that in the deadly silence stayed for ages,
shaking hands with the wandering wild frill
for want of caring hands and wider cages
carrying a labour in depths to sprout
to serve those who live on meagre wages
and even in their dreams, they never shout
for their bellies are baskets baked in hearth
carrying a labour in depths to sprout
and on the rough planes of pain they give birth
to a race devoid of the want and wish
and on their waxy pillow mourns the mirth
and from their broken plates slip a wish
who in my attire is whirling at bay
as compromise only serves them a dish
luring this pulse mine to call it a day?

A PLAINT
To be born in this world to live alone
With not a love is cruel destiny
To whom shall I appeal my plaint unknown.
You gave yourself to flirtation for free
Vain you maybe my mother you I want
With not a love is cruel destiny.
Begot by you your love does truly haunt
Abandonment my lot is hard to bear
Vain you may be my mother you I want.
It pains to be the child you hate to care
Some rumors hint you're a pretty one
Abandonment my lot is hard to bear.
Am I a gift of no important sun?
You never see me all my lonesome days
Some rumors hint you're a pretty one.
I hope there's warmth alive to blaze
Your joy I'll be when age begins to daze
To be born in this world to live alone
To whom shall I appeal my plaint unknown.

Waiting For You , Oh Dear
Tercets:
Since long I am waiting for you to come
On the sledge of the night, in the dark ,
Riding on dreams, wading through the storm.
The mirror still has your vermilion mark
Reminding of the days we happily spent
On the sledge of the night, in the dark .
How quickly our days innocuously went,
And a bunch of suppressed memories ,
Reminding of the days we happily spent.
In your absence it is raining miseries
Which I am carrying with me forever
And a bunch of suppressed memories
I am expecting your knock on my door
To share with you everything once more
Which I am carrying with me forever
Quatrain:
The waiting has become hard to bear
Hope you understand my plight , Oh dear!
Since long I am waiting for you to come
Riding on dreams, wading through the storm .

Terzanelle 4 by Myr Reyes E. Tejada
Herald of Empty Days
Birdsongs herald the dawn of empty days
Nudging memories of our sweet lovesongs
Melodies that were erased in the haze.
I used to think with me your heart belongs
An old songbook I found this afternoon
Nudging memories of our sweet lovesongs.
Last night I had a girl talk with the moon
I heard you had left me a souvenir
An old songbook I found this afternoon.
T'was so long ago still your name I hear
Sighed by the breeze with that little secret
I heard you had left me a souvenir.
You promised me you will never forget
The vows we made that forever will be
Sighed by the breeze with that little secret.
Must I endure a new half-century
When each day I awake feeling sorry
Bird songs herald the dawn of empty days
Melodies that were erased in the haze.

Terzanelle 5 by Jeffrey Cejero
Fulfilling a Dream
Time moves on infinitely like a stream
Each passing is just a blink of the eyes
Flowing gracefully to fulfill a dream
Winter may come, freezing the tide to rise
Time flows on endlessly till the sun smiles
Each passing is just a blink of the eyes
Kissing each season, travelling in miles
Nothing can block the gushing out of hope
Time flows on endlessly till the sun smiles
Along the way, the stream may pass a slope
Taking time to go, never stops to flow
Nothing can block the gushing out of hope
Each drop is a crystal that loves to glow
Never weakened by height to reach the sea
Taking time to go, never stops to flow
Unlike a lake, the stream is always free
Never weakened by height to reach the sea
Time moves on infinitely like a stream
Flowing gracefully to fulfill a dream

Terzanelle 6 by Dolores Lapinid
#TERZANELLE Bi-Monthly Challenge
Gazing at the Moon
One cold night I went out to see the moon
Wore a black shawl as I sat on the grass
There were crickets chirping a lively tune.
Enjoyed the wind as I sip my wine glass.
Felt solace in my heart at this moment
I know that my burdens will also pass
Life has a moment of joy and torment.
A time to be happy and to be sad
At last, free from long years of discontent.
I don’t need to cry and be really mad
No need for revenge there’s divine justice
They’ve been forgiven, sins wiped from my pad.
It’s midnight and I’m sleepy but found peace.
Thank you moon for keeping me company
You touched me well and made my heart at ease.
Quatrain
before I leave, thanks again for your company
at last I found a new friend, lady moon
I ‘m so happy that the stars are many.
want to return here, with you lady moon.

Terzanelle No. 7 by Beznik Lamaj
# Terzanelle
Titulli : EJA o NËNË ! .
Hajde o nënë se baba më erdhi
Gjithë dashurinë e zemrës ma derdhi
Për ty o nën dhe babë s'duroj dotë
Zemra e dridhur dhe sytë me lotë
Erdhi baba dhe në prehër m'u ul
Gjith dashuri n e zemrës ma derdhi
Baba më shtrëngoi me dorën e artë
Si dikur e vogël me flokët e gjatë
Zemra brengosur dhe qielli mu nxi
Era e çakërdisur shiun e derdhi
Nëna dhe baba në ëndërr më erdhi .
Më erdhët të dy si pëllëmba të bardhë
Ju erdhët për vajzën se kishit shum mall
Mbas shiut të rrëmbyeshëm gjithnjë del ylberi
U shpërndan ret në qiell , dolën rreze dielli .
Mos harroni o fëmijë në jetë babë dhe nën !
S'e për ju ata janë gjithnjë diell dhe hënë
Nëna dhe babai ju urojnë jetë të gjatë
Dhe në botën tjetër , për ju kanë merak .
