colourless lives in windowless worlds dare to dream of fearless existence with boundless joy a formless evil-lurks around the corner weightless gravity pulls people down renders them rootless but roots in the sky ethereal optimism grows unabated ageless wisdom can’t be taken away "cloudless skies are addictive", says a homeless lad, "I … Continue reading Optimism
Hi, VJ Your write-up prompts me to share some of my pastime work. Needless to say, I find it satisfying 🙂 https://onewomansquest.org/2019/12/02/vjs-weekly-challenge-75-satisfying/
The words I choose are 'trust' and 'choice'. I knowyou will go backon your words - once againI will trust you yet again-there'sno choice https://colleenchesebro.com/2019/12/03/colleens-2019-weekly-tanka-tuesday-poetry-challenge-no-156-poetschoice/
light of dreams glowed so bright blinded me to worlds around -darkness reigned in castles behind I fail to see controlling hands slowly encircle fragility -trust their strength as cherished support I feel grips tightening suffocating -I struggle for expression of a suppressed individuality https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/12/03/photo-challenge-292/
a crushed spirit wriggles from under the woodwork raises a venomous hood -fire flashing in eyes -images of humiliation frozen for eternity -tongue lashing out to sense presence of enemies -just a prick poison will spread through layers of accumulated evil dying slow deaths https://dversepoets.com/2019/12/02/quadrille-93-spirited-poems/
Underestimated .... by VJ Knutson
a light flashes a bulb glows a wave crashes on the shore when truths lie a spirit is crushed when I want to die ambitions ambushed https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2019/11/28/reenas-exploration-challenge-115/
We, the heroes ….. by Aishwarya
Running away from,
A situation,
Giving up on,
Our dreams,
Dejected by a,
Setback,
Losing hope,
Over loved ones,
We would have done at some time or the other.
Looking up to somebody,
No doubt, would inspire,
But sometimes, the sheer magnitude,
Would make us doubt our own capabilities,
And leave us only with dejection,
Forgetting the long journey we have travelled,
Things we have accomplished.
It’s only when we realise,
We are the heroes,
Of our everyday life,
When we,
Battle against the odds,
Strengthen our dreams with hope and action,
Fight a tear and move on,
Turn back, only for the lessons,
And march forward with strength in self,
That a desired change, would come about.
