PROMPT #176
Our prompt this week has the potential to cover more than the written word. Think images, computer art, paints and brushes or a camera lens. Words are not going anywhere though, because that is what we are talking about.
If you are a book, what will the cover look like?
You are free to use any medium you like to describe.

Her Cover Page
Her cover page …..by Pallavi
If she were a book
her cover page will be in motion 3D.
One like that in Harry Potter
a multidimensional changing movie.
No one capture can picture
her soul that’s a wanderer.
But should you twist her arm to select
one portray to accurately express,
she will choose the page that’s work in progress
With additions and subtractions as few facets
a semblance of all the roads traveled
a hint of much to be dabbled
She is a cosmos of moments ordinary and extraordinary
she counts her blessings and curses simultaneously
a river that’s moving
sometimes in alignment with the shore
and other times waddling fiercely into cyclones
If she were a book
and you judged her by the cover
Know that hers will be a story of a survivor
who epitomizes change,
her only constant.

Self-Discovery ..... by judeitakali
आवरण
English translation here
I’m a book – read me
don’t judge me by the coverread the unwritten words
don’t judge me by the grammarevery page has your name
If you judge – love my surrendergive me dreams of a life time
don’t let my insomnia cause a stirJudge my conduct, in a world
of fake shine and glamourRead the original here…
हूँ किताब पढ़कर देखो मुझे
आवरण से न परखना मुझे
पढ़ लेना कुछ अनलिखी बातें
व्याकरण से न परखना मुझे
हर पन्ने पर नाम तुम्हारा है
समर्पण से ही परखना मुझे
दे देना उम्र भर के हसीं सपने
जागरण से न परखना मुझे
चकाचौंध भरी दुनिया में अमित
आचरण से तुम परखना मुझे

An ode to the Ordinary!
An ode to the ordinary …… by Radhika
The cover of my book depicts an essence of commonality
it pens reflection of my gratitude, to the many silent doers
highlighting their sensitivity towards a humane life.
Ordinary lives of people, making an extraordinary difference!
Unlocking their repertoire of goodness
they leave a trail of kindness,
soothe another’s pain, feed a hungry mouth
they gift a moment of lift, to the lesser fortunate.
We don’t need heroes in capes, we find many among us
who choose to make a difference, in their own small way.
Their selfless service, serves a sliver of humanity
in today’s disintegrating values of the world.
An ode to the ordinary, making an extraordinary difference!!

Don’t Judge
Don’t judge …… by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #176 & Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Extraordinary
some of us light up a room
shining extraordinary confidence
turn heads with our unusual and remarkable style
some of us quietly introduce our presence
exuding calm, zen and comfort
drawing others to us with ease
some of us shyly hide ourselves in corners
hoping to blend in, shunning inspection
invisible walls pulled up high
we are all worthy of attention
but with different needs
understand them
please honor them
**Note – I actually was a bookcover. 😉

Unwritten agos …..by Eugenia

The photo is from the early 1970s, during my modeling days. I lived in Orlando, Florida when Disney World opened in 1971 where modeling jobs and roles in commercials were plentiful.
Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way Verse from the song - Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkin

Watch me as I walk
An insightful poem by Donna-Luisa
Watch me as I walk My hips may shake a bit These legs they still look strong No heels on to give them a lift My shoulders don't slouch And my waist is a wee bit round But I'm sure you will not notice As I strut and sing my song. I've got the silver streaks My hair has lived through many trips A real natural beauty With some personality From my lips. Watch me as I walk, Confident glow of womanhood at its peak A lifetime journey ,and stories of which I speak My aging has never been in vain A point my look defines I've got the music in my brain Can dance, sing, and you will gaze I can still hold my own on the town Older and wiser, Yes, I have been around! Watch me as I walk See the mystery…
