Learning From The Depths
Falling into an abyss
Facing the dark all alone
Calling to my hidden strength
Learning from the depths
Rising again, rejuvenated
Life is a harsh teacher
But these lessons are our need

Decoding software
Where would the cellular biologists or astronomers or physicists be without their instruments? Science exists only because a tool to decipher whatever is invisible to the naked human eye exists. And what do human beings do if they are unable to decode the laws of Nature, or nature of the Maker? They devised their own … Continue reading Decoding software
A ‘Slasher’ Existence
The legendary Roshan Abbas referred to himself as a‘slasher’in one of the events he hosted. The term may have negative connotations coming from American horror films, but he gave it an interesting twist. It was just meant to describe his various facets — radio jockey (Slash)/ theatre artist (Slash)/TV anchor (Slash) /writer (Slash)/director (slash)/emcee (slash)/impresario.
I was sure, impressed by the impresario. And the various connotations of the word, in describing a personality.
1. The Multitaskers
Do the multitaskers handle several jobs at once, or keep switching from one task to another ? Are we taxing the brain too much, and letting perfection suffer in an effort to be over-efficient ? The neural networks in a part of the brain ‘light up’, when they get involved in a thought, and remain so for sometime. The efficiency of multi-tasking depends on how fast do we get back to the…

Book Title Generator
Book Title Generator ….by Jim Adams
Know all about the Sun and Stars.
I decided to write a book to help people understand where the Sun is in relation to the Earth, and I will title my book “Hunting The Sun”. Everybody is probably aware of the astronomical unit (or AU), which is the measurement of distance that is used for what separates the Earth from the Sun distance which is 149,597,870,700 meters, or almost 92.956 million miles. This astronomical unit provides a convenient way to express and relate distances of objects in the solar system and to carry out other calculations for objects that are far away, but not in interstellar space, as that is better handled with the light years and when the distance is greater than the parsec is used. Jupiter is five times further away from the sun than the earth is, so its orbit is about 5 AU from the sun.
Earth travels around the sun in an elliptical orbit, so our distance…

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #226
Welcome back! The lure of delving in the unknown supersedes everything else for a poet or story writer. It could be the depths of your own being, or the functioning of the Universe. The call of a non-fiction or blog writer is different, as they look for 'usefulness' of ideas or information. PROMPT #226 I … Continue reading Reena’s Xploration Challenge #226
Sun and Water
Water falls, because a gravitational force pulls it down. In the right atmosphere, it vaporizes to steam and moves upwards. It chooses when, where and how to fall. Water freezes. You are able to walk on snow with the right boots. Your homes are not ravaged by floods. forces all-pervasive combine to make you feel … Continue reading Sun and Water
Onboarding
“Each time I extend my hand of friendship, he reinvents himself, leaving me unsure if I want to go ahead. It seems too much to ask for revelation, with masks and gloves taken off. Maybe, he fears the vacuum within as much as I do. I see his all-pervasive desire to control by checking, hacking … Continue reading Onboarding

**REMINDER: Open Link Live (OLN) will be Thurs. April 14. Directions for logging in will be on our site that day.
Hello fellow poets, Michelle Beauchamp here (aka Mish) your host for this week’s Poetics.
It has been difficult to see the mass destruction and disturbing events taking place in Ukraine. I am confident that I speak for all of dVerse when I say that it hurts our hearts. We’ve seen the heaviness of it all released in recent poetry. I was extremely moved last week by a poem written by Ain Starlingsson, ” A Song of what they Mislabel as Innocence”. He writes from “a cellar with a flickering light as the bombs fall” and marvels “at the ability of children to make the best they can of every given situation”. If you missed it, you can find his poem here. This particular line became so embedded…
