Because it’s time ……. by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #170
your hesitation asks questions
giving rise to unending doubt
shutting hope down
success in the making asks other questions
your future being challenges your past
it’s waiting to be discovered
force recognition of your strengths
face the obvious which holds you back
achieve all you are capable of
yes, NOW
change your trajectory
live your dreams
demand that of yourself

Reena's Exploration Challenge #170 Welcome to yet another week! I don't see the scenario changing as expected. I see faint glimmers of hope, not the bright sun. Will 2021 be another transitional year, or a pathbreaking year? Let's go off at a tangent, and conquer ---- our mindsets, if nothing else. Control the controllable! PROMPT … Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge #170
Alphabets retained in memory as images, put together as words and sentences convey a meaning and conjure different images. Punctuation is derived to save me from drowning in a sea of words, but the human mind does not stop being ingenious. We turned full circle and returned to images …er, emojis. I dream of myself … Continue reading Drowned thoughts

Unpalatable truth, palatable lie ….. by Punam
Nostalgia blurs the rough edges
bringing into sharp focus

No new writing today, so far at least.
No. Today has been filled with Voices. I have completed drafting my voices picture poetry book – Voices (In The Trash). It is similar to the Beechworth Bakery Bears in format – images with a poem they inspired, as a spread across 2 pages of an 8.5 x 8.5 inch book. Essentially, a Children’s Book format, though I don’t really consider myself a children’s writer.

I was fascinated by the life I saw and felt in the myriad objects that filled up a huge space. Everything I saw had a voice and demanded to be written.
So. Today I have finished (or nearly finished) my design work and have made all of my quality compromises to create a…
