Social Media

I don't think I could have built an online profile and identity without the use of social media. I'm not an addict, and do not spend hours on social media. However, I'm able to interact more on this blog and on Quora than social media sites. LinkedIn used to be a great site for posting … Continue reading Social Media

Earthly Yours

Earthly Yours …. by J M Negi

Written for : Reena’s PROMPT #262: RANDOM DREAMS

Random Dreams

the earthly colors,

Shower the blessings this year in our endeavors,

We shall not pray for any heavenly miracles,

Just protect the mankind from humanly debacles.

For we cherish all the dreams

For we own happiness and pain periodic or seldom,

We welcome all the seasons be autumn or spring,

Relish all emotions that accrue in our life’s string.

We desire no Heaven, seek no divine seasoning,

The Earth has many Heavens by every reasoning,

Better apostle of Mankind than Angels from heaven.

only andonly confession.

O Lord! Thou shall fill us with all

Right-Brained

Right-brained …. by a writerintheroom

Aboli Mane's avatarA Writer In The Room

A paintbrush sodden

heavy with hues

swipes of colour

tears across the spotless walls

inflamed incessantly by

random dreams

the murals take shape

despite the stifling emptiness

a creative mind persists

with its right-brained rhetoric

in a place that conforms

to routine

“You failed to fulfil your duties as a wife and mother”…. screamed accusing fingers. But who says a wife and mother is not an individual, and has her own needs and desires. The fingers folded into fists which broke through the windows on her private existence. It was an identity crisis for them. How could … Continue reading Nirvana

I Would Dream in Color

PROMPT #262

RANDOM DREAMS

Wonderers:

I remember when I painted for the fun of it. Swishing and swirling colors to reflect my inner most, sensitive feelings of love and happiness. What do you do when you lose that feeling. When all your dreams fade to grey.

I look at the canvas but I can’t invoke the desire to lift the brushes to start anything. I want to use yellow. I need to smell blue. You probably don’t believe colors have smells and feelings. In my experience it’s true. It is all apart of my emotional state of well being and I miss it. So I think paint…but I need a little more time to get it all together.

So, what am I doing now you might ask? I’m answering the call of family. I have picked up the old crochet hook and started teaching…

Random Dreams … by Destiny

Throw your anguish to
heavens high, traumatize them
with your souls outcry

Paint the sky, colors
of your angry scars, haunt them
with your agony

Smear across the moon
raw wounds in hues bold, torment
them with your burdens

Coat the stars in screams,
torture with irate visions
of your random dreams

Color Your World

Color your World …. by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

Color makes objects easier to see and it separates painting from drawing, bringing life and vibrancy to paintings and sketches.  Every color creates different emotions and feelings, and certain colors are associated with specific feelings like warmth and others with being cool.  Colors close to the red spectrum are warmer colors, and they include red, orange, and yellow.  These warm colors evoke emotions ranging from warmth, comfort, optimism and energy to feelings that signal danger or make you feel angry and hostile.  They can evoke higher arousal emotions, such as love, passion, happiness, and excitement.  Whereas blue colors like purple and green are inked to calmness, sadness, indifference, relaxing, soothing and healing.  These reactions are rooted in psychological effects, biological conditioning and cultural imprinting.  Color is a fundamental physical property of light that humans perceive differently dependent on the individual person.

Greek color theory started with Aristotle saying that objects…
