A sole red leaf on my doorstep birds gather around to guess the branch it separated from… waves hit the shore and go back sounds whisper, but do not tell stories nurtured in oceanic depths we don’t step into the same river twice nor do I know if I see the same sky or moon … Continue reading Subtlety
The Fall ….by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #202 – Languish & Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Autumn
the leaves of autumn
languish on the forest trails
i breathe in the moist fragrance of an october rain
deep into my lungs
what was once green foliage
lush, vibrant and full
now becomes a new carpet for the forest
another layer to add to its history
i sigh heavily and gnash my teeth
for the leaves falling and bare tree branches
signal that summer has unfortunately come to an end
and an awful realization my SADD will soon begin again
PROMPT #202 Let’s play around with words a little today. Yeah, we do it everyday, but let this word play be a word game. Unforgettable One can extract forget, table or able from this word. I give you three more LanguishShipwreckCustomer You can even change the order of alphabets (like ‘peck’ from shipwreck, or ‘route’ … Continue reading Reena’s Xploration Challenge #202

The eagerness of fans belied pandemic fears, as they thronged to have a last look at the prima donna. Shock is the only word that moved through the crowds like lightning.

Longhorn Crazy ….by Jane Aguiar
Shh …. What a mess. These trees are rotten and dirty. When will this man come to his senses? Apart from managing his oxygen banks, this man is destroying forests.
I was grumbling and suddenly my foot slipped and I fell into the water below the tree. My luck was strong, so I fell on the leaf of a Peepal tree.
Hey….what do you say. What kind of ?
You can see it in front of any temple. It has heart-shaped leaves.
Yes … that’s it.
But since the leaf was in the water, I had to stick to it.
Hey….What do you think? ….I’m a black ant.
My name is Longhorn Crazy. This is my scientific name but my biological name is different.
What did you ask? Scientific name mean?
Scientific is the name given by a scientist and biological is the name given by parents….Got it now?
So…

Paths of a dreamer ….by Jude Itakali
Soft wondering breeze
Searching barren everglades
Nourishing a dream
Where do you go when you’ve given your all but you know you’re not yet finished?
You go to the next level!
My absence for the last couple of weeks has been due to a mammoth effort; striving to finish the penultimate draft of my upcoming novel. (before it goes to the editors)
It is a task that has become a dream
And a dream that has become a task
When the mind goes numb
But the goal keeps hounding at your soul
You keep pressing those keys
Existing in reality
But living amidst the pages
Oh how you love your characters!
How you adore their world
But how do you go beyond your ability–
How do you transcend?
I dip a thought in minds I admire
Turn the pages of those who’ve made worlds beyond comprehension
