If given the choice, what would you rather be doing, right now?

I would rather be playing with the pigeons.

 

 

Glaring- The Daily Post

Glaring- The Daily Post

you can escape glaring sunlight

by applying sunscreen

you can escape glaring, inquisitive eyes

by hiding behind veils 

you can hide all unpleasantries

by putting on  a mask

but how you can escape from

glaring conscience 

if you are not just and kind

To make the news spicy

Media went overboard

Real news got lost

 

Amble- The Daily Post

Amble- The Daily Post

every morning mind yarns for

a peaceful seaside amble

and everyday 

someone inside pleads

stay a bit more in bed

it cajoles

it pampers

it promises good dreams more

both are adamant

both argue well

but the one who wins

is always the one

who gets feed more

When we need water

The river remains shallow

In monsoon flooding

Juicy- The Daily post

What if life gives you a lemon which is not juicy. Life has sucked all the juice before giving it to You? You can’t make a lemonade.

Don’t worry dear, don’t throw it and whine. There are numerous uses of lemon rind and peel.

 Add sugar, salt and pepper, make  pickle. Good for stomach.

It’s not just only positive thinking , it’s  the right thinking which  takes you ahead in life.

Graceful- The Daily Post

Graceful  is the one

Who can keep 

Own composure, elegance and style

Intact in ups and downs 

Like  the sun

Who keeps its beauty and elegance

Always intact

Whether rising up

Or setting down

DAILY PROMPT- Earworm

DAILY PROMPT– Earworm

Write whatever you normally write about, and weave in a book quote, film quote, or song lyric that’s been sticking with you this week.

————————————————————————————————————————-

I normally write about what age has taught me,  the value of friendship, love, compassion, compatibility, religious tolerance, harmony, and faith in humanity.

All my posts have a bit of preaching, it comes naturally.  Some may find it boring so I try my hand on other things for a change like taking part in various challenges of photography, writing on prompts., Haiku, Limericks, etc. just to make my blog interesting.

I like to take part in various challenges  just like Johnny Depp, who says’ I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it’s going to work or whether I’m going to fall flat on my face.’

In both cases, I’m a winner. If I succeed, it makes me happy, if I fall flat on my face, I stand up, sharpen my claws and try again.

Failures have  taught me that  “Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely.” – Henry Ford

Challenges make life interesting and your confidence level goes up if you are successful at it.

 

 

 

 

Writing 101, Day 17- Mine your own material.

Writing 101, Day 17- Mine your own material.

When I had just joined Word Press, I wanted to do many things at a time. Writing short poems in Hindi and English, photography, short stories etc. I stumbled upon Haiku, Haynaku and Haibun  and tried my hand on that also. But I had no courage to publish them . This assignment has given me a nice chance mine my old material.

Seasons come and go
According to their cycle
Relish with fervor

————————

Seasons come and go

According to their cycle

Our mood swings  with them

 

 

Haynaku

Time
never wasted
teaches you something

Something
to learn
from your failures

Failures
to gain
Success next time

“Not only the thirsty seek the water,

 the water as well seeks the thirsty.” Rumi

 

I’m walking on the water, on the sea waves

 they engulf me, embrace me, caress me

 they are cooling, soothing, taking away all the worries from my mind.

I need the sea.

Its vastness, calmness, serenity empowers me.

 Does it need me too?

 How I’m to know?

They say,

the sea never takes anything from anyone,

 it returns everything.

 Is it unconditional love from its side.

 Please, make me feel wanted, take me.

 

bonded forever

arguments unresolved

are we soul mates
