Let the thoughts flood your mind. You may use the word-

Please be fair with everyone

26 July: dVerse Ekphrastic Poetry

This poem by Misky struck a very deep chord with me – a woman afraid of her own sanity, while living with the other side of sanity.

The Woman Who Lies with Rocks

This woman is terrified of her own sanity.
Some days, she thinks she looks like
Churchill’s bulldog, so she dresses in pink

because dogs don’t wear pink by choice,
and passerbys will smile and think,
There goes that lovely woman in pink.

But her sanity is a hatchery of anxiety.

Sanity makes her over-think,
makes her tongue thick and dry,
and it ignites storms in her brain.

It burns the way Earth sparks and smoulders.

She remembers her mother’s voice,
calming one moment and cackling
lunacy the next, and she remembers

lullabies and her mother rocking her to sleep.

So she waits for the lullabies to come.
Lies on the ground and sleeps with rocks,
thinking they’re meant to rock her to sleep.

“Grandma, you missed a note”, chimes a sweet voice. It’s one of the kids who attend the same music class. “Thanks for taking me in, Hank! I was turned down by all music classes for my age.” “You are doing fairly well. Just keep at it.” Hank waves at her as he guides another kid … Continue reading Beginner

Commitment in a Can

Small acts performed as a matter of routine or religion define character, sooner or later. The world knows me by my acts. I’m surprised when my conscience screams, “That’s not me.” I do it only because I’m compelled in some way. It’s entirely voluntary, but not self-driven. Here comes the pertinent question, “Where does the … Continue reading Commitment in a Can
