Enjoy the Cleave Poem, done with two Shadormas — by David
A Cleave poem
in the form of two Shadormas
| as I age | rhythms shift | |
| over endful days | whetting my senses | |
| transformed by | a wisdom | |
| existing | beyond me | |
| in the perceived universe | calling unrelentingly | |
| I’ve come to believe | heaven leans on earth |
How to read a cleave poem?
Simply:
- Read the left hand poem as a first discrete poem.
- Read the right hand poem as a second discrete poem.
- Read the whole as a third integrated poem.

When in doubt, be self-assured
When in doubt, be self-assured ….by Aishwarya
Light was blocked far away from where it could reach a million dreams, and just like that it vanished into eternity. Darkness didn’t seem foreboding as I once imagined it to be, it just felt as natural as daylight could be.
The traps, the fallacies of imagination didn’t pounce on me and neither did a ghost catch me unawares. Darkness is a safe place to be for a brave, nay, self- assured soul.
Opera of contentment watered doubts away, yes, outlook of life changes from despair to hope, if only I’d give it a chance.

Guilt
Guilt ….by Diana Coombes
https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/ and I have used her word prompt to write a possible ending for my new novel. I have only rewritten six chapters, so not sure if this will be used, but I had fun writing it.
My story involves a young journalist, who through a car crash, starts to lose her sight. Her husband dies, and she investigates his death, and always believed it was not an accident. Her trust in the wrong person, leads to plot twists (hopefully) and a race against time before she goes completely blind.
In the end she realises, she is still the same journalist, and losing her sight doesn’t mean she has to give up on herself. I am looking into the theme of guilt, and her understanding to forgive herself.
It came from somewhere too far to walk, from as far away as the most unreasonable desire, the most devastating hope. To…

It came from somewhere too far to walk, from as far away as the most unreasonable desire, the most devastating hope.
- Sharmishtha Mohanty in Thirty two nights and dawns
So it came from somewhere too far to walk
not the most unreasonable desire
the most devastating hope and I balk
the unspoken truth I know it’s dire
the unwitting faux pas that’s always there
it’s best never to wallow in the mire
it passed by so quickly out of nowhere
I’m still waiting for the final answer
flames of truth burning but not to scare
standing like an arrogant dancer
the air in the room was heavy and dank
background set to a dramatic fanfare
though some people can tolerate this crank
I for one don’t have appetite for it
so lay it out on the table, be frank
a place too far to walk and so much grit
from…

You
You …. by Michelle Navajas
You
i was mesmerized by none other than your eyes so alluring, your smile so enchanting. and your lips, oh! your lips how they speak of words only you with great mind could ever speak of.
it may sound unreasonable for some but what else is desire if we see reason in it? what else is the power of passion if we wish it to be right from the start? and what else is love when we need a reason to fall? after all, isn’t loving the very reason of love?
my mind could always argue what my heart could only agree as how love is so strong, so powerful, so true. for when it is, no amount of rational reasoning could make you even stop from loving.
and for that my dear i could do the sweetest, the most romantic for you; the sweetest like when Rachel got off…

May the light shine bright ….. a brilliant poem by Eugenia
rise as if to speak
voices too silent to hear
burdens from beyond
ungathered as the moon wanes
