The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS July 4/2020

"Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “toss.” Use it any way you’d like." As we toss and turn in the rapids of life, We are chiselled fine. Life, It teaches us many a lesson, In rapid fire and fast, We lose some and gain some, As we sway in rapid torrent, We…

Tiny flame

A tiny flame, Flickered, Buzzed, As drops of water wet its wick. It fluttered many a time, Gasping, Whizzing, And suddenly shone bright.

"Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “fan.” Use it by itself or find a word that starts or ends with it. Use it any way you’d like." When all your dreams are a fantasy, And miles away, And niggling self doubt widens the abyss, Do not curse the distance, For it provides…

Thursday photo prompt: Cascade #writephoto

Leaving a fiery trail on dreary grey, The errant ray full of lively spright, A cavalcade of surging hope, Flaunting…

A Haze

A dark haze, Clouds of vicious smoke, Spiralling, Waltzing to an ominous tango, Clawing its fangs deep down, Scavenging into a tormented soul. The mystic soul, Lost, Bewildered, Hurt, It wails. Seeking solace, Searching for a beacon bright, That would lighten up , Those dreary paths. Fallen into a dark abyss, It trudges along wearily,…

The circle of life- (a Haibun)

The rolling verdant expanses offer an infinite panorama of life. The valley is lush with dancing blossoms. They are imbued with warm colours of Mother Nature. Tall pines soar high majestically paying an obeisance to the blue skies. The denizens of the blue canopy above traverse down to lend their colours to the world below.…
