Weekend Writing Prompt #156 – Home
Hidden inside my computer
Is my sweet virtual home
Known pathways
Each one takes me to friends’ home
To their world of stories, poems, photography
I feel so comfortable here
I am accepted here
My writing is accepted here
However boring, full of mistakes it may be
My friends are so encouraging
So kind and understanding
They are full of praise, appreciation
They make you feel important
They help enhance your self-esteem
No one is here to judge you
To make fun of you
I feel as if I have known them all my life
It’s an escape from the Problems of life
Maybe for an hour or more
But it’s relieving

COZY CASTLE A Poem by BEN NAGA
Poem by Ben Naga
COZY CASTLE
Out in the black a tiny spark
Blooms into flaming flesh
That flickers, a fiery dancer
Amidst a slowly forming picture
Imagined, improved, approved as
Yes … that castle only dreamt of
Time and effort bring it into view
With towers, turrets, and bartizans
Crenellations atop sturdy walls
A moat and drawbridge, portcullis
A statement of power, of dominion
Protection against any assault
From the envious or less fortunate
Fully equipped with arrow slits
Endless ramparts, battlements
Murder holes and oubliettes
Till in time as will in time all
The tide turns and with a sigh
The sandcastle returns to sand
~ Ben Naga
Weekend Writing Prompt #81 – Fringe
Challenge hosted by Sammicox- Weekend Writing Prompt #81 – Fringe
The flowers were on the fringe, ready to fall. I touched the tree and was bathed with the fragrant flowers.
With that came the penalty, allergy attack.
So much to pay for the pleasure.

Weekend Writing Prompt #80 – Castle
Weekend Writing Prompt #80 – Castle
Old castles intrigued me. If I can travel back in the past, I will visit each and every castle in the world, not only to enjoy their grandeur and architecture but to explore what secrets lay behind those walls.
How many stories of love, kindness, brutality, cruelty, corruption, politics, power game, vendetta, murder, and goodness they have witnessed.
How dirty games their masters have played or how much their own people, relatives, and best friends have betrayed to gain power, wealth, name and fame.
Do they feel ashamed of the behavior of their masters?
How I wish they could talk.

Derelict
Challenge
Forget me not
And leave me derelict
Forget not my
Glorious past
Wasn’t I
The launching pad for
Many legends
Who are now
Superstars and
Directors
Wasn’t I

Important chaptor
How could you
Leave me
Uncared and neglected
And
Shun me like
An outcast

He forgot his motive and outran the thief.
Weekend Writing Prompt #63 – Crumble
Weekend Writing Prompt #63 – Crumble
How first rejection
Made me crumbled down
The world has come to an end, I thought
To cry my heart out
Stormed out in the rain
Sure rain will hide my tears, but
The cool shower made mind cool
Tears refuse to come out
My mind said ‘don’t behave like a fool’
There is so much to enjoy, dear
Life doesn’t end with a rejection
Lots of chance will come by
I phoned the one who rejected
Said ‘you…go to hell’
Then I felt well
