Brisbane in the Rain … by Dan
On her writing blog Reena Saxena has provided the word “rain” as her weekly writing prompt. I live in Australia, and I’ve recently returned from a trip to Brisbane and Melbourne. I’ve written a haiku based on the impressions of a beautiful afternoon on July 4 when it rained in Brisbane. The photograph was taken from the front steps of the Queensland Art Gallery.
High-rises so bland
Become beautiful when seen
Through the mist and rain.
A rainy day ………. by Carol Anne
Raindrops fall gently,
Pitter-patter on the roof,
Nature’s melody,
Nature’s tears from up above,
Life renewed, earth refreshed.
Written in response to Reenas xploration prompt, where our challenge is to use rain in our piece.

Use the word rain in any form to share your thoughts.
Alternatively, here is a picture which is experimental on Unsplash.
I stand alone
dying from thirst
No rain
While parts of our world are in the wet season and have too much rain, some areas are desperately needing rain, real and spiritual.
Whether it be actual rain you need or spiritual rain you need, kindness during that season always brings a light of hope. May kindness rain down on you quenching the thirst from hard times.

gentle lullaby
rain tapping rhythmically
a soothing slumber
I let go of my umbrella …. By Sadje
Use ‘Rain’in your piece in any form.
Alternatively, I found a picture which is experimental on Unsplash.
You may choose one or both as your muse this week.

It’s raining
Every day
And it drenches my self
Water from the sky falling
Like blessings from the Almighty
It soaks through my clothes to my soul
It adds the moisture of kindness to my dry soil
The petrichor of my sodden being awakens
The sleeping humanity in my spirit to full alert
There is an aroma so delightful that my heart sings
From the beautiful combination of all things pleasing
I let go of my umbrella to soak the blessings from heaven, even more

When the rain comes…..by Jim Adams
Noah had an older sister named Mahlah who was a beautiful woman, she was so stunning that a fallen angel named Molloch desired her when he saw her splendor. Molloch dropped down from the sky and swooned around Mahlah when he saw her dancing. Molloch sang a magic song, as he danced above Mahlah in the air to seduce her. Molloch fell upon Mahlah and entered her and she conceived a giant. As Mahlah reached the advanced stages of her pregnancy her womb stretched painfully, because she was carrying a Nephilim, a half-angelic and a half-human hybrid. The midwives ran when they saw that her skin was pulled so tight around her tiny mortal womb. Mahlah was all alone when she gave birth to Og and she died as Og came out.
Og was born in the same year that Noah started building the Ark. Og was four feet tall…

Face
i am the dream i created
i am the hope i advocated
i am the wish i celebrated
i am the woman you violated.
the sorrows you’ve brought
the help you had me sought
the indifference i begot
the war i steadily fought.
i’ve won wars of thousand battlefieds
i’ve cried years of millions of regrets
i’ve hated days of unforgiving threats
i’ve achieved solitude nonetheless.
i am the face of ruthless agony
i am the face of horrible memory
i am the face of deceptive blathery
i too am the face of triumphant victory.

Dark Butterflies ….from Jude Itakali will soon be in your hand.
Scroll down and down till you see the cover
No sand on my beach
Just pitfalls into beauty
And rainbows out of reach
As fate strikes with dreaded storms
And mocks withsunlit ‘morrows
Look close, Naysayer
The laylines in thy vision
Colours of the wind
Quiet calls, special places
know not why, we come again
Golden hour
In bays of sadness
Distant wish
The scarred pelican
who will not take flight
Moors have no beaches
Yet end and have beginnings
Scope of the hidden
To seek inthe murky mists
A light in dire circumstance
Hope you enjoy this tanka series. It is chronological but you can take each one as a standalone if you like. My regular prompts all aligned with the beach this week.
Quite auspicious as this is the week I’d scheduled for the cover and title reveal of my next book. Now the reveal can reach any…

Reena writes : There are three quotes below. Choose any one of them, and base your piece on it. You get brownie points for combining quotes.
I listen, I nod, I watch
murmur hmmms more hmmms. 🤐
I hear, understand – and
sometimes I don’t understand. 🤭
But still, I listen and nod
hoping they mistake not 🥴
my silence for approval
for respect is what
holds my tongue 🙏
and as all are entitled to their
opinions, freedom we call it, 👌
some voice it, some shout it,
some act on it and some of us 👍
watch the tale unfold, for our
ignorance should humble us
enough to not contribute to
that which is unknown. 😶🙃
so, I listen-I nod-remain silent,
all the while just trying
to build my life the way I want it 💭
grounded by morals,
values and…

Embrace your Journey ….. by Ramya Tantry
In a world determined to shape you, be the master of your fate,
Change your direction overnight, don’t succumb to societal weight.
Freedom demands speaking truths that others may dread,
Embrace your uniqueness, let your authentic voice spread.
Destinations may require time, but direction is yours to claim,
Never compromise your voice, even if they challenge the mainstream.
In this journey of self-discovery, let your spirit soar and ignite,
For the greatest triumph lies in staying true to yourself, shining bright.
