Known and the unknown …. by Aishwarya at kittysverses
“For I have known them all already, known them all:
To the countless sharing the space,
On this beautiful planet,
Where all co-exist,
I am a nameless face,
I am one among the crowd,
I am nothing extraordinary,
For the ones that know me,
I am a part of the world where they also thrive,
To some my name,
Would bring, cheer,
To a few, anger,
Yet others, indifference,
“For I have known them all already, known them all:
A part of me exists in all,
A part of them exists in me,
If we look at each other’s positives,
As our own,
We would wholeheartedly appreciate,
Rather than compare and snide,
If we look at each other’s negatives ,
As our own,
We would willingly forgive,
Rather than be mean,
It’s those I know,
I go for love, care and support,
Sometimes they deliver, sometimes they backstab,
For they…

Spooning …. by VJ Knutson
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”
Source: “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot
I line my spoons on the counter –
measures of the day’s reserves
one spoon for morning tea
with a side of emails read
a shower requires two or three
with a guarantee of needed rest
I’ll linger horizontal – added care
when an outing is in the plans
the thrill of venturing, and delight
of conversation shared wipes
the counter clean – I’ll crash
and crave for one spoon more
enough to get me into bed
pray tomorrow’s count the same.
(For Reena’s Exploration challenge, in which she challenges us to use one of the given lines of poetry. Spooning is the term used for those of us with chronic illness who have limited energy. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is characterized by exhaustion after exertions. My day starts with depleted…

Fifty years seem like an eternity. Her travails are sufficient material for three books – all from different perspectives, with different protagonists. Eternity may count like a nanosecond in some other parts. But truth feels like fiction, when it is so far away. Her grandchildren did not believe her when she told them she was … Continue reading Fiction

None of them …. by Jen Goldie
You can choose any one line , and use it as the first line for your piece.
“For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons;
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”

“For I have known them all already,
known them all”
I have howled at the moon,
I have reached for the stars
I have basked in the sun
But when all is said and done
there is really only one.
“For I have known them all already,
known them all”
and known none of them,
none of them all.

I’m tired of being rebuffed. I wonder why people build walls to keep me out. I see no reason for anyone to fear or dislike me. I would like my fellow beings to be companions in my journey. There is so much to learn, to discover – all that I did not know some time … Continue reading Ignorance
