Just like a pizza, there could be slices of life
All having a little bit different topping on them
The part I want to revisit today is the one that
Is not a perfect one, but on the contrary quite
Painful to remember and write about even now
It embodies when the pain and darkness were waiting
To engulf my soul because of the events that occurred
There are no details that I would share but it is enough
To say that due to what happened to one of my family
We all were living in a time which gave me the most painful
Memories and I shudder to think how I ever got over them
But I did: I survived that time and got stronger for it
That is my aim today to write about a dark era in the past
As it taught me that out of pain…

Slice Of Life
Slice of life ….. by Jim Adams
When I was up in baby heaven before I was born, they asked me if I wanted any brains, however I thought that they said pains, so I told them, “No Thank You.” Three scientists went on an exposition to the Amazon Forest to study the rainforest and the biodiversity of life there. They all spoke English, but Jules Beauchêne was from France, while Robert Davis was from Britain, and Steve Miller was from New York. After a while wondering around they get lost, and suddenly men with spears jump out of the bushes to attack them. It was kind of odd, but these natives also spoke English and one of them said, “Hey, you are on our sacred land, and the penalty for trespassing is that we have to skin you and then we will use your flesh to make canoes. We will allow you to choose how you…

एक टुकड़ा ज़िन्दगी
English translation of the poem in Comments section
दे दे कोई टूटा सपना
या फिर कोई याद पुरानी
आया हूँ दर पर तेरे
दे दे एक टुकड़ा ज़िन्दगी ।१।
आंखें हैं मेरी कश्कोल
बुझा दे मेरी तिश्नगी
दिखा दे एक झलक मुझे
दे दे एक घूँट ज़िन्दगी ।२।
मत बाँट भले ख़ुशी अमित
संजों लेने दे आँसूं अपना
बना लूँगा मोती उसे
दे दे एक बूँद ज़िन्दगी ।३।

Holding you with many hands
My one-year old slips out again. I hold serious reservations about returning to work, as I run out of the door. Nobody else could manage him. He is merrily playing with puppies in the backyard, as their dog mother keeps an eye firmly on her brood. I see my baby getting excited about a shiny … Continue reading Holding you with many hands
Her Slice of Life
Her slice of life ….. at thoughtsaboutthings dot net
Winsome, willowy, and free
In the early stages of life-
Young and without care!
Later, the chance to
lift her face to the sun becomes
limited by life,
love, husband, and children,
but still a possibility.
Children grow and abandon
the family home,
(at least that is the way she feels).
Now, there is time to be free again
unfettered by family tasks or work,
but she does not feel the freedom
as she did in her youth.
She ponders, where is her slice of life?
The one she can claim as her own.

A mother’s love
A mother’s love ….. by kittysverses
The waters of the lake,
Glistening under the mid-morning sun,
Still, and not running so deep,
Bordering the fringe, the greens ever so thick,
Barely any light emanating amongst the foliage,
Lying half immersed, as lifeless as the rock beside it,
The one armed crocodile,
Bidding its time for a catch or two,
Kept me wondering, an arm lost:
Could it be?
Space domination, hunger pangs, vying for a partner ,
Protecting its young one or merely something else?
As the boat moved further,
With the boatman goading us to ,
Enjoy the sights of egrets, cormorants, storks,
And yet other migratory birds,
A sight so warm and deep,
And yet taken for granted,
Of a mother painted stork,
A beauty by herself,
With colourful wings
Of pink, black, yellow, white,
Resolving a fight amongst her kids,
Trying to be impartial and teaching ,
Lessons of sharing and brotherhood,
Caught…

“Revitalized” (Poem) Reena’s Exploration Prompt/Theme of The Week: June 13, 2019
Revitalized ….. the first and vitalizing contribution to the Exploration Challenge this week.
Reena’s Exploration welcome’s us again, to enrich this space with your wisdom and talent!
PROMPT/THEME OF THE WEEK
“Revitalized”
(Poem)
A kaleidoscope color show
nature simulates this for me,
just as the sun sets low.
Firey balloon ball of ruby red
descends, such a pleasure to see;
Horizon glows and spreads.
Into the realm of contentment,
is all I could seek,
to end all existence of resentment.
Soon that ruby red balloon
disappeared beneath the landscape,
leaving me to dwell within the cavity of my cocoon.
Envisioning the darkness
did not make me sad;
No, no… It made me feel glad.
Tomorrow the fireball would return
and my heart will be renewed,
to see the ruby red balloon lit up like a lantern.
