A CIRCLE AND A ZERO
A circle and a zero
Mistaken for each other
Taunt my mind for once
And I try to flee from them.
A circle has a unique face
And a zero has many.
The wise have ever proclaimed
As they have had to say something.
In a white paper, I draw a circle
But it looks like a zero.
When I attempt the latter,
The former fades away!
I run in a circle of odds
As many a zero chases me from behind.
I sleep under a circling wheel
And the nightmare of zeroes begins to haunt me.
Who are you both gentle images?
Why are you like twins identical?
May I ask you both just once?
What do you want to do with each other?

An innovative imagination of a circle and a zero! A NICE POEM TO PONDER OVER!
the inner search is ever present/fine
Its always the locus and geometry of a circle.You added colour to it that everyone sees it.Well done Sir...
Zeros and circles...a strong idea and the nightmare of sleeping under a circling wheel. I liked this poem.
Very impressive work.The void of life with symbolism of zero is imbibed very nicely.
