A hand extended

a hand extended a shoulder lent courage re-ignited by a friend in the nick of time   discipline induced seeds of culture sown miracles incubated by leaders in the nick of time   realization dawns much later you were saved just in the nick of time https://dversepoets.com/2019/09/09/quadrille-87-quick-nick-us-a-poem/

I am a rock

it is raining outside today I feel compelled to look inside storms raging - within and without I will fly on clouds - come what may tasting sharp thunder - I will glide just ignore the envious clouds Am I getting carried away? there are horses I cannot ride I'm feather-lite, winds have a clout … Continue reading I am a rock

Biographies

Housekeeping ain’t no joke cleaning up gives deep insights into occupants’ minds   I place electric kettles in every room with sachets carrying relief   Only teapots know or the cleaner the junk of restlessness in minds   Don’t ask what prompted them or me to fix a cuppa?   Emotional biographies…. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2019/08/31/weekend-writing-prompt-121-teapot/
