Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #223 – No Mercy &
Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Soaring

show no mercy
to those things
keeping you from soaring

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #222

Prompt # 222- We again have a set of two images this week, to be used singly or jointly as your prompt.

Colors, colors, colors

unlimited shades of colors

nature’s offering

chose one or all

whenever you get the chance

don’t think hard

don’t waste time

just

jump in the

puddle of colors

and

enjoy

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #222 & Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Faraway

spring, love and color
bright holi celebrations
sadness faraway

Splatter of colors

Stain their faces and clothes too

Some are happy others confused

Life throws a curveball not all can handle

The young ones are instinctively happy

Trying to find pleasure and joy in life

We should try to make their innocence

And happiness last as long as it can

Protect this naivety and purity at all costs

Pain in Many Colors

i’ve seen pain in many different colors
for most yellow,
after the outbreak of pandemic Asians
in the West silently suffered agonizing, terrifying hate crimes,
brutally blamed for kicking off covid -19
elderly people and women alike
were not spared
really, what have they got to do with it?
why so much hate?

i’ve seen pain in many different colors
for most black,
years, even decades have passed yet Negroes
are still considered lowest members of the society
America had their first Black President, along with black men and women
making names in the world, but there is no denying for most they are still nobody
really, what have they got to do with it?
why so much hate?

i’ve seen pain in many different colors
for most white,
when Russia waged a war against Ukraine, Russians all over were regarded criminals
just as how Germans…

Winter tries to hang on
But spring has push it back
Flowers come in the crack
Nature intends to drawn
Like the colour of dawn
Nothing is white nor black

Some buds bloom, pink through green
River is soft, birds tweet
No more snow nor sleet
Buds on branches on scene
Enjoying like a queen
Everything is so sweet

Crocuses and tulips
Daffodils and snowdrops
Pop up like lollipops
Colours like some makeups
Petals burst out in cups
Waking up all the crops

The rain and sunshine come
Time to sound the drum
Kingfisher, loon, swallow
Spring is here – hurrah!

Response to Reena’s Xploration Challenge #221

Uncle stared upon the blocks
The symbols all to him were lost
Uncle never learned to read
Mattered not my Uncle Sweet

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #221

Words without feelings

A body without a soul

Just blocks of letters
