The Envelope
The Envelope …. by Aboli Mane
The study was off-limits for Dolly. The pigtailed troublemaker had an inquisitive nature, fuelled by her natural curiosity. The most recent object of her curiosity, was the vintage sealed envelope on her father’s study table.
The crimson waxed seal was tempting at best. Dolly’s imagination soared at the possibility. However, she knew she could not act alone. Father always kept the study locked. And try as she might, she could never figure where he hid the keys. Her feet took her to her brother’s room. Bhaiya lay under the whirring fan, stretched out on the floor with a sports magazine. It was rare to find him at home in the afternoons.
“Bhaiya.” Dolly bounced impatiently on her feet as she approached the middle brother. “I want to know what’s in that envelope on Papa’s study table.” Bhaiya looked up from the sports magazine he was perusing. His face flickered with…

Heaven (Sealed and Delivered)
Heaven (Sealed and Delivered) ….by Michelle Navajas
Heaven (Sealed and Delivered)
I.
heaven,
they say is peace
tonight your kiss;
i tasted, and i thought
what would i need to do
to keep your kiss forever?
II.
heaven
they say is joy
tonight your embrace;
i felt, and i wondered
how much longer
can i hold you in my arms?
III.
heaven
they say is utopia
tonight your love;
i welcomed, and i pondered
how much would it cost
to have your love always?
IV.
tonight
i write this letter
to you my love;
sealed, and i marveled
will heaven hear my plea
to have you ’till eternity?

Explosion
Explosions …
By Artie & Stu
Meteorites smash into the moon.
On June 18th 1178 perhaps
observed by Gervase of Canterbury and four fellow monks
four hundred forty years before Galileo’s telescope.
Or they would have known the truth.
Or on March 19, 2013 captured by NASA,
while a bus crashed in Maharashta, tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma, mudslides wracked Rio de Janeiro.
Or February 23, 2023 captured
by Daichi Fujii, curator of the Hiratsuka City Museum
with cameras almost unimaginable in 1609.
And yet 2800kg of meteorite smashes daily
a hippopotamus exploding daily, sounds loony
although that’s why there are no hippos on the moon.
Reena’s Xploration Prompt #281
Curious Cappuccino joins us at RXC..
I recently happened upon an intriguing prompt from Reena Saxena. Below the prompt is an image of a sealed envelope and the text, “Let’s see how you choose to open and decode this message.” The response can be in any format.
So, let’s find out what’s inside…
Hidden in the Everyday
Unexpected, unexplained
At my doorstep, pouring rain
As I hold it, rack my brain
But the effort’s all in vain
—
My mind’s a kettle, building pressure
Curiosity gets the better
As I unseal this wax-stamped letter
Hidden message escapes, unfettered
—
Into eagerly awaiting hands
Eyebrows leap, bewilderment expands
For this letter tells of far-off lands
In the heads of strangers, and of friends
—
Innumerable worlds, tucked away
Inside people you’ve passed by today
Unknowingly filling gaps your way
While universes spread before you, unsurveyed
Pandora’s Box of Tales
Pandora’s box of tales….by Ramya Tantry
Sealed away words, guards the secret,
Curiosity stirs, anticipation grows,
Unbroken seal, mystery awaits,
Unlock the envelope, let the secrets unfurl,
Let the Pandora’s box of tales, capture the world.
Opening up to myself
Opening upto myself …
By Rockstargirl
How I felt when I read my words back to me it was like I was feeling every word that was speaking to me and I thought to myself throughout the end of the lines how I wrote such touching words the whole time and never actually shed a tear but it was in that moment when no one was around to observe me that I would just click on the blog and pick a post that spoke out to me and when I opened it I did not expect to find how much I was going to cry and I thought to myself it was almost like I wanted to read more just to see if there was anymore to the story and if the lines actually held the answers I was looking for but I did find something I found me putting myself into the other persons shoes…

Secrets…….
Secrets ….by Sadje
➰➰➰
I’m curious; what’s in this envelope
My inquisitiveness is pushing me to take a peek
The prudence wants to step back and let it be
Life is like a sealed envelope for us in the beginning
Revealing its secrets to us gradually, one at a time
But sometimes the envelope remains sealed till the very end
And it’s only when we are done with most of our living
That the secret of what life is all about is unveiled to us
A sealed envelope though tempting/ inviting us to open
Can very be like Pandora’s box, that, once opened
Spills out things that we wished were still hidden!
