Enigma: definition:
One that is puzzling, ambiguous, or inexplicable.
A perplexing speech or text; a riddle.
Everyone says you're so calm
Nobody see's what lies beneath
Inside the creature rages
Grappling to get out
Maybe you should release the beast
Annihilate your sea of tranquility
*************************************
Seasons change
one into another
usually seamlessly~
blending
their moods
and uniqueness~
predictabililty
being the key-
But Mother Nature,
being the mysterious,
enigmatic soul
that She is...
can sometimes throw a curve-
a change that wasn't predicted
or forecasted...
and it wreaks havoc
and destruction
on all those unknowing~
never knowing what hit them
and why!

Love these poems. Enigma, in particular, speaks to me. Let me just say, I know what you mean!!!!!
Mother Nature can throw you a curve, can't she? Have a great day, Patti!
I am all for releasing the beast.
A constant sea of tranquillity is usually only accomplished by medication and is highly unnatural.
whoa....is that you in that first poem ?
if it is....YES, let that beast out !

Such variety and beautiful poetry framed by that beautiful song. I want to stay. :)
Terrific poetry for enigma prompt. It's just one mystery/riddle after another! :)
You have such a talent, my friend. And that word is my favorite word. Love it!
Thanks for these. You have me thinking about the persona and the person.
These poems are sure a typical showcase of an enigma!
Nature's wrath? Yeah, we do not know what to expect...
Human's mystery? Don't judge the book by its cover so they say, coz we don't know what's in his inner self!
All exemplary rendition of an enigma!
