Polershmett
I do a Google search for the word ‘polershmett’. Google says, “Some results have been removed.” I wonder about missing alphabets in the word which could have made sense, without much success. I try some of the other search options. Images looks interesting, and this is what I get. So here I go with that. … Continue reading Polershmett
Modestly Yours
Modestly yours …. by J.M. Negi
Come to us for
Love, companionship and full equality,
Alleviating hate, animosity and frivolity,
Blessing humanity for zeal and inspiration,
Making us all epitome of perspiration.
Come to us with
Tranquility and chorus of symphony,
Warm Rays to take all our melancholy,
Separation from greed, jealous cacophony,
Disdain, Ostentation & utter monotony.
Come to us to
perpetual glee, honest prosperity,
Immaculate innocence, biggest morality,
Begin all good things & all known virtues,
Fetch that silent peace which one pursues.

THE TWO FACES OF NEW BEGINNINGS: Reena’s Xploration Challenge #264
The two faces of new beginnings ….by Ken Hume
For this week’s Xploration Challenge & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt, Reena & Eugi have encouraged us to compose a poem on JANUS (God Of January) & the word: EVOLVE respectively. Below lies my contribution: 👇👇👇 Hope ye enjoy the read! 🙏🤞😁📖
THE TWO FACES OF NEW BEGINNINGS
Janus!
The 2 faces of January
God of endings
And new beginnings!
Gates and doorways
Transitions & passages
And ultimately… Time!
But can I trust him?
This God of duality?!
To help me start again
Help me evolve
Into the person I want to become.
Help me make the most of my time?
Which face is he going to show?
How’s he going to frame it?
And where will the doorway lead?
Down a dead end; cul de sac
Into my old self
Or through the gates of new; unexplored possibilities?!
Should you wish to participate in the prompt then you can access it…

Looking Back,
Musings of Mind …. by Kunjal Gupta
Looking back,
A shadow follows,
Matching in tandem.
.
The past rings, mistakes swing
At the dawn of spring.
But the sun glows,
Its warmth clings.
.
Shallow nights arrive.
Water comes down,
Forming shallow pools.
But the Earth beckons
The music,
That comes with it.
~ Kunjal Gupta
This is a Quadrille ( A poem of exactly 44 words) written for Reena Xploration Challenge:
Janus isthe god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings.He is usually depicted as having two faces. The month of January is named for Janus.
We counted backwards at midnight on 31st December 2022.
How should we go forward now? I need to know how many months, weeks, days I have to make my life or this world a better place to survive. I may not die at the end of this year, nor will the world end…

All we have…
All We Have …. by Destiny
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #264
One moment,
that's all we have
Just one moment …
I've lived and loved,
laughed and danced.
I've planned beneath
twilight skies,
watched sunsets
and sunrises with
warmth in my eyes.
I've dreamt
of tomorrow
and the years
to come too.
A creature of routine
for years, and then
you wake up one morning
and your whole world
disappears.
Life stops by every
so often to remind us
that nothing is
guaranteed.
So, I go to bed
every night
praying
for one more day.
I get up every morning
thanking
for another day
and that's how
the cycle runs.
For if there's one thing
I've learnt,
in the grand scheme
of life, is that
we can never
learn enough…
Never plan further
than you can blow
a single breath.
These words have
never been more
trueuntil now….
“ we plan, and we plan~
God…

Janus
Janus … by Ken Gierke
Janus
Which face to wear?
Looking forward
or back? The past,
both blessing and weight,
does not cease to be,
even as what will be
approaches. To know
both is not possible,
yet one gives insight
to the other. I wear both.
This is my response to Reena’s Xploration Challenge # 264. It’s January, and Reena asks us to consider Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, transitions, and endings, who is depicted as having two faces.

You
You …. by Susi Bocks
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #264 & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt #126 – Evolve
While this is not a new creation, both Reena and Eugenia prompted me to revisit this piece and bring it new life. 🙂
birth delivers an unknown entity
and life begins yet again
you start to exist
the business of life
is to evolve
into your best form
the goal is to reach
a physical peak
then head to the inevitable conclusion
during your stay
your personality
the essence of you
continues to be shaped
by the experiences, tools, and influences along the way
daring to live
requires enhancing it
doing it your way
requires courage
i hope you find joy in it along the way

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #264 – shuffle every moment
Shuffle every moment …. by Lady Lee
Shuffle every second or every moment
My life in different manifestations
Standing side by side every component
Like broken legumes of a loment
Or powdery rooms in some stations
Shuffle every second or every moment
Shoulder to shoulder with my opponent
In silence or different sensations
Standing side by side every component
Again doing things spur-of-the-moment
Nearly getting some expectations
Shuffle every second or every moment
Wrap myself warm on my enrollment
Having dinner with my relations
Standing side by side every component
Being logical my proponent
Life is full of hope and fluctuations
Shuffle every second or every moment
Standing side by side every component*
