Questions in life ….. by Ramya Tantry
The questions in life seem unending
When one is solved, the other appears.
Is this how life is supposed to be?
Am I sad to be thinking about life’s purpose?
Is my mind wondering?
Am I overthinking? Am I depressed?
Ahh!! More questions and no answer!!
And my futile life continues…

Peace can be found
If only we try
To save our planet
Look to the sky
Look after our oceans
Environment, then peace
Will reign supreme
If we’re not careful
We’ll wipe out our planet completely
If we want to see our world thrive
Not only thrive but survive
We must mind each other
Our animals
And our oceans
Peace can be found
Only when we work together
As a team
United as one.
A Love Dilemma —- by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #268 & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Sweetheart
a kaleidoscope of questions
forces discussion of private matters
who can i sleep with
what makes a woman
who may i love
what makes a man
why are bathrooms controversial
can’t everyone just mind their own business
i just want to be able to call you my sweetheart

A circle of the brightest students of their age, sat in a circle, engrossed in their note pads. Thinking about what they could do to save the planet from its certain doom. Their colour, changing from one idea to another, their thoughts were as one.
If one teenager had an idea, the other would write it down. If their ideas were the same, their colours would match. A creative circle it was called by their teacher, where they all wore head sets.
Young minds, with so much to share, and at least one of them might have a solution to the lack of oxygen in the world. There were air bubbles, yes. Pockets, like electricity, you had to pay for. For some, time wasn’t their friend.
The National Health no longer viable, the poorest of the earth’s inhabitants died.

Trying to find the answer …..by Sadje
The prompt;
I won’t say anything… just leaving you alone with your questions and thoughts on the picture.
➰➰➰
They all sat
To deliberate
On the big
Question
❓❓❓
Heads in their hands
Wrinkles on the brows
Thinking hard
Trying to find
The answer
❗️❗️❗️
It is perhaps
Too late to take any action
To unite the divided humanity
To fix the broken trust and connections
⁉️⁉️⁉️
Please
Don’t give up
You are the
Last hope

Time …. by Michelle Ayon Navajas
Time (A Flash Fiction)
it was 15 minutes past 6:00 in the evening. in that moment, i realized how beautiful the night sky was. it brought so much beauty like no other time of the day. the only sound was the wind whistling through trees along the busy street of the university belt, with the occasional honking of the car here and there. the city light became so melancholic that it was difficult not to ultimately be sad while looking at the night sky. and then, as i looked up, i saw a sight like no other a brightly shining full moon, a sea of tiny stars surrounding it, and a sky all around, covered with blackness, speckled with beauty.
but this beauty does not come without a cost. yes, the night offers the magical sights of a starry night sky. still, it also means that the day has…

In that one moment …. by Artie
On the table, by the water
a player and box of cassettes
cartridges, cases, covers all mixed up
play this one, no that one
this is The Place
no, it’s The Spot
The Place is that other Spot
oh, yeah, that’s right!
The lake water rippled.
The tree canopy hush.
Then we shut off the player.
It was about time to leave.
And in that one long moment.
We knew this was about the last time.
We were leaving The Place behind.
For far more than this day.

Hell is empty …. by Aboli Mane
I knock on Heavens door the angels won’t let me in for Hell is empty all the devils dance under my porcelain skin Heaven forgive my only sin I fell in Love I bartered every piece of my heart in that one moment I came apart my devotion I gave it all Heart, body and soul nothing belonged all in the name of Love’s unfading glory I was no longer me a sacrifice a warning sign do not love like me
Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #267. The prompt was “in that one moment“.
Clubbed with dVerse Poetics This Valentine’s Day.
For Today’s Poetics, I want you to write a love poem. Bear in mind that it doesn’t necessarily need to be romantic. It can also be dark and speak of ache and loss. It can transcend words and language. It can describe what the heart has been…

Doors and blades of grass ….by Jude Itakali
Once, we painted the door to shared dreams of two
Unloved, it now reminds me of you
Fades of time corrode its sheen
Too long left unseen
Glum relic
Pinned
Pedantic
with hope grating thin
My soul barters for its queen
Must I swap new greens for an old blue
Or evolve, to sparkle in different hues
Great expectations
On the tip of a lone gaze
longing for the stars
I stretch for the heighest leaf
When grass below has all I need
An Andaree poem for Colleen’s tankatuesday
Based on image prompt from Caley’s #writephoto
And theme from Reena’s xploration challenge.
The tanka continuation was inspired by Sadje’s whatdoyousee
... Shine little glow worm glimmer glimmer Shine little glow worm glimmer glimmer Lead us lest too far we wander Love’s sweet voice is calling yonder Shine little glow worm glimmer glimmer Hey there don’t…

Teardrop ….by Aishwarya
P.C :- KL Caley; #writephoto
When blood becomes stranger,
when teardrop becomes stain,
when denial becomes acceptance,
when open doors become shut forever,
when trust becomes thorns,
when truth becomes textured fantasy,
when life becomes lost memory,
In that one moment,
I realise,
that whole life was a lie.
