Reena’s Xploration Challenge #251

The word prompt for this week is

Jamais Vu

It is the opposite of Deja Vu.

jamais vu involves a sense of eeriness and the observer’s impression of experiencing something for the first time, despite rationally knowing that they have experienced it before. Jamais vu is sometimes associated with certain types of aphasia, amnesia, and epilepsy.

I’m sure hisvisit to the hospital is to confirm whether I’m alive or dead.

I’m in a vulnerableposition.

‘Who am I, who are you,why I’m here?’

I bombardthe doctor with questions.

The doctor confirms traumatic amnesia.

He seems relieved.

I have to feign jamais vu

till I’m strong enough to return the favors.

PROMPT #252

There is no restriction on format of our work. https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2022/10/13/reenas-xploration-challenge-252/ could seem a bit weird, odd, and causing chaos. But I love the different viewpoints of one picture.

‘What’s a little chaos?’ Tom said, as he sent an email to all his staff.

‘Don’t you think it’s a little weird, dressing in costumes and doing an obstacle race. I mean, I have difficulty walking from my desk to the restaurant, can’t I sit this one out. I mean literally, sit this one out.’

‘We’re all out of shape, stuck behind our desks all day, we need to add a bit of chaos to our lives. We complete customer’s accounts, day in, day out. I want to add some variety to our day. Don’t you remember it’s a knockout?’

‘I reckon Tom will knock you out when he sees this email. He hates sports, in fact, he’s never worn…

An abbreviation that everyone knows, and it is used to express amazement, confusion, or disbelief about something that happened.  This overly used internet acronym does not mean “Welcome to Finland” and it is often said when you are pissed off because you don’t understand why something has happened.  If you were out on a boat fishing and an alien spaceship appeared in the sky and it sucked up all of the fish in the lake, that would be weird, and you might say WTF for Where’s The Fish?  I heard that Facebook is changing their name, because some people think WTF stands for “Welcome To Facebook” and this might cause some chaos, well it will definitely be strange.

Seventeen Again

and i am seventeen again

feels like yesterday ‘though ages ago

that you gently held me by my hand

as we walked past the busy street

of the University belt’s crowded intersection

i am seventeen again with you

holding my hand for real.

and i am seventeen again

feels like yesterday ‘though decades ago

that you kissed me sweetly, framed by the door

it wasn’t Christmas no mistletoe, but we kissed

i am seventeen again with you

kissing me tenderly for real.

and i am seventeen again

feels like yesterday ‘though years ago

that we passionately shared our love

amidst the blazing Manila skyline

i am seventeen again with you

manifesting your love for real.

feels just like the first time.

Diving into the question, What is Truth? for this week’s contradictory abstract nouns, I came across this interesting video on Truth vs. Reality with Donald Hoffman from Big Think.

Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge

Today’s prompt is Frog. I really like the filter I cut for last year, so I thought I would try some of my transparency filters to add some color and texture.

New Poem

OctPoWriMo

Today’s prompt is Love, Great and Small expressed through a sonnet or elegy.

dVerse Poets Pub

Today’s poetics prompt is fermentation. I really like this prompt. I’m thinking about creating poetry as fermentation: a process of undergoing an effervescent change, and a state of agitation or excitement.

lips touch like sugar feeding fruit…

Welcome back to another Sunday Poser

This week my question is;

Do you like using emojis in your post, or texts?

At first, I felt that using emojis in my writing was a bit informal and irregular. But as I grew more comfortable here in WordPress, I started using more emojis in my posts, specially the emoticons, the bigger and cuter version of emojis.

I feel that the use of emojis makes our writing more personal, a bit informal and more colorful. I’d never use them in formal emails or letters, but personal texts and messages have lots of emojis.

What about you? Do you like using emojis in your posts, texts and messages?

Please share your thoughts in the comments section or you can write your own post and link it to this one so that I can find it.

As usual, thanks of visiting and reading.

Is it possible that the concept of time only exists inside of your head?  General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are thought to be in conflict with one another and most scientists feel that we need a new, more general theory and they are leaning toward loop quantum gravity, which appears to eliminate time entirely.  General Relativity works great for trying to explain how gravity works on a planetary scale where gravity is a strong force and Quantum Mechanics gives us a good picture of how things work on small scales when gravity is weak.  String Theory is an attempt in theoretical physics to explain the quantum nature of gravity, because it deals with how gravity works at the miniature scale of particles.  String Theory predicts that all elementary particles are, when viewed close-up, vibrating loops and strings.  According to Einstein, matter distorts the very fabric of space and time around…
