Ray of hope
Ray of Hope…. By Aishwarya
Demarcated by boundaries,
Separated across landmasses,
Bifurcated by opinions,
Today,
Across lines,
We stand united.
Though from afar,
Helping each other,
Being one another’s support,
Torchbearers of a single race,
The human race,
Like how Nature intended us to be,
Now that we have experienced,
The true magic of compassion,
The true spirit of warmth,
Sans borders and boundaries,
Once in our lifetime,
Let us not cage it,
Once again,
Let this not only be,
Once upon a lifestyle or,
Once upon a lifetime stories,
To be reminisced about.
Under the canvas of,
Our bountiful universe,
Let’s always spread cheer,
Like she intended,
Not just when we pushed to,
In every bleak,
There is a light,
Every fall,
Promises a climb,
Let only our spirit strengthen,
Together we can.

(Fresh Air) Have Another Hit!
I'm sharing a poem by Lovely Sharma https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2020/04/17/fresh-air-have-another-hit/
Recover
Recover …. by Ramya Tantry
He lost his artistic inspiration…
He lost his imagination..
He lost his sense of adventure..
He lost his passion..
He had lost everything of value to him.
There was an empty canvas on the easel, his colors and tools.
What would he paint?
A question that only he can answer..
How to recover…
Should he paint his path of self discovery..
Or Should he paint what he has already seen..
Or
Something that is yet to be seen…

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #130 – Once upon a lifestyle
Once upon a lifestyle ….. by Lady Lee
So once upon a lifestyle
Every decade or so it comes
It wriggles in, it comes, it drums
Out of nowhere and it is vile
Out of our seat, up on our feet
As the air, water, land defile
What we’ve done, this is the outcome
So once upon a lifestyle*

* The Octain, full name Octain Refrain, is a form of poetry developed by English poet Luke Prater in December 2010.
It comprises eight lines as two tercets and a couplet, either as octosyllables (counting eight syllables per line), or as iambic tetrameter, whichever is preferable. Trochaic tetrameter also acceptable. The latter yields a more propulsive rhythm, as opposed to iambs, which lilt.
As the name suggests, the first line is a refrain, repeated as the last (some variation of refrain acceptable). Rhyme-scheme as follows –
A-b-b
a-c/c-a
b-A
A = refrain line. c/c refers to…

Don’t Gogh
Don’t Gogh …. by Susi Bocks
Years of depression punctuated by obsessive creativity brought him closer to the inevitable. Alcohol became his chosen poison. Lacking the proper nutrition and suffering from frequent bouts of insomnia – it only propelled him deeper into the black abyss. The delusions which led to his self-mutilation only further supported the theory – he was mad, and he felt all alone.
He had lost everything of value to him. There was an empty canvas on the easel, his colors, and tools. What would he paint?
Nothing. He was at his self-inflicted end. “The sadness will last forever,” were Vincent’s final words.
