Bengali literature and music in India have a rich heritage of boatman songs. Boats have been an integral part of journeys and separations in stories. I am not sure if translations are allowed in the Poetics prompt, and I shall delete the piece if it violates rules. The song I've chosen to translate here is … Continue reading Boatman Songs
An interesting take by Paperkutz on the Exploration Challenge #147
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #147 by Reena Saxena
I can’t imagine a world with no color. Color assists us with so many aspects of life. Such as driving and crosswalks. Just to mention a couple important examples. When I say “us” I am not just referring to humans.
Of course, right out of the gate we may think of a group of human that relish Living in simply black and white. These people are often described as Gothic. As far as I know between clothing and make up and such they stick strictly to black and the white being either their skin or make up.
On the other hand I immediately think of how animals use color. Many animals use color with other rituals, so to speak, to choose their mates.
Then there are animals, both predators and prey that use color as a kind of camouflage. Depending…

multiplicity of colours makes me wonder what is the real face like -dark backgrounds -acquired sophistication -or monotonous monochrome? I pick up a brush and paint you with my imagination but moods interfere -making you look different with each brush stroke https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2020/08/06/reenas-exploration-challenge-147/ https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/2020/08/10/what-do-you-see-42-10-august-2020/

Colors or Colorless …… by Sadje
Reena is the host of Reena’s Exploration Challenge
Welcome back, folks!
It is time for yet another dive into realms of the conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious mind.
Let the prompt take you anywhere – nature, art, fashion, interiors, emotions, perspectives, different aspects of anything, whatever colour means to you or the metaphors which emanate from colour. Interesting photographs, or works of art are also welcome.
I eagerly await your brilliant black and white entries
~*~
Is everything black and white?
Clear demarcation between right and wrong
Some just see things as with only two possibilities
No gray areas in between to appease the doubtful
When I was a young adult I thought in monochrome too

Vision Care ….. by Len
Things generally happen in three’s, as Marty was soon to find out.
The first thing that happened was Marty lost his job. He didn’t necessarily care about the job but he did care about the loss of income. Employment Insurance barely covered his rent and he still had to eat, pay his telephone bill and finance all the mundane activities needed to survive in this currency driven world. As time went on, pounding the streets looking for work, he became increasingly depressed as life lost all meaning and color. Then the headaches started, his eyes hurt and his vision became increasingly unstable.
The second thing that happened was Marty’s visit to the optician. After careful examination, questioning and serious looks the optician broke the new that Marty had advanced glaucoma. There was severe pressure build up in the eye…
