Brain fog

They found me in a village 14 kms away from the hospital. My covid-affected legs are not strong enough to walk the distance. I don’t know how I reached there. A white rabbit which kept jumping in and out in an unusual manner attracted the attention of the search team.  What if the rabbit had … Continue reading Brain fog

Days gone by

A hand that held me showed me a mansion in the sky I lived with that dream In days gone by… A hand that clasped my wrist banged me against walls I lived with nightmares days did not go by… A hand floating away In blue waters He cried … but no response I think … Continue reading Days gone by

Lost Emotional Quotient!

Lost Emotional Quotient …… by Radhika

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #165

Look closely at the pictures above. Choose one or more, and think what are they doing together. Will they remain entwined or go their own way? Was their act or intent good or evil? Could they do whatever they planned to do together, or fell apart?

I have chosen the 3rd picture – The human hand and that of a robot for this challenge.

Man, the most intelligent species,

created artificial intelligence,

stepping into innovative technological frontiers,

taking automation to dizzying heights.

Breathing in greyscale monotony,

he put life into chromed metal bodies.

With a system of inputs, circuits and codes

programmed to perfection,

Robots, obeying his every command

be it compute, abort, destroy…

performing each task with finesse.

With its heart full of wires, bereft of feelings,

the vitals of emotional connect seems missing.

In today’s environment,

Is man becoming his own creation?

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #165 – Hands

Hands ….. by Lady Lee

Who’s gonna be with me in the Ratskeller?
Who’s gonna strike a clump of two with me?
Who’s gonna order steak burnt to a cinder?
Life’s better with you, I come with a plea
Without you, my life is like a big blur
Without you, I’ll remain acedia baby
Coiled myself in front of the television
Scrawling your name over and over, hun

People say we’re antipodes of each other
That I’m a walrus and you’re a tiger
That I move on and pull myself together
If I change, can we please stay as we were?
In your hands I’m waiting for the answer
I miss you from the summer to the winter
I miss you like a rain in the desert
Come back and I promise you full comfort*

याद है तुम्हें ?

English translation first 🙂 Scroll down for the original piece by hecblogger in Hindi

Do you remember we held hands
and made promises to live by…

Do you remember where we met last
last boundary line of our thoughts

Do you remember the first time we met
levels of excitement, intoxication reset

Do you remember our agreement
where it started, and its tenets

A prank for you, commitment in sands
Do you remember who got destroyed thereby?

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

हाथों में देके हाथ जो किया था तुमने
क्या अब भी वो अहद याद है तुम्हें

जहाँ पर आखिरी बार मिले थे हम
ख्यालों की वह सरहद याद है तुम्हें

और वो पहली मुलाकात हमारी
क्या उसका उन्माद याद है तुम्हें

वो जो हम में तुम में करार था
क्या उसकी बुनियाद याद है तुम्हें

की तुमने तो बस दिल्लगी “अमित”
पर हुआ कौन बर्बाद याद है तुम्हें

Reaching out

Reaching out …..by Eugenia

Unknown's avatarPoesy Perspectives

here’s to the future

one step before beginnings

mindset renewal

opinions vary

at times an interrupter

balance in-between

wishing for respect

a true friend adapts to all

chanciness of life

summoning hope

rhythmic vibes predict futures

jubilant omens

PROMPT #165 – The theme, Hands

Look closely at the pictures. Choose one or more, and think what are they doing together. Will they remain entwined or go their own way? Was their act or intent good or evil? Could they do whatever they planned to do together, or fell apart?

My take on the pictures 🙂

  • A game, originally played as children, still enjoyed as adults…after a few beers

  • Thirsting palms, cupped to catch the first rain in weeks

  • A mutual understanding, and promise to live together in harmony

  • The last squeeze before the final breath

All I Want for Christmas

#Wordpress @Wordpress guys, see what Jim Adams wants for Christmas…

This is not a letter to Santa, as this is meant for the team of WordPress Happiness Engineers who from what I have heard are helpful individuals.  I would like you to pitch in and lend a hand to a wonderful blogger named Fandango, yes that guy with the paper bag over his head.  He is a very decent guy and he hosts a bunch of challenges to keep other bloggers busy and that is not an easy task.  He blogs on his iphone and one of your recent software updates has caused him a lot of trouble.  I am sure that you know all about this because he has written several post alerting everyone that he has contacted you and that you promised to work on this issue.  Please give him the assistance that he needs to remain the awesome guy that he already is.  If you can resolve…
