Thursday photo prompt: Storm #writephoto( a repost)

As I step inside the stony monolith atop the green hill, I am entranced. The dark grey clouds above seemed to echo its sombre appearance. Each stone has a story to tell. They are worn out for they have stood the brunt of time. Some have been ravaged by mother Nature. And some by the…

#WritePhoto Prompt

A shady cloister lonely afar, Verdantly hued radiantly alive. The sturdy bark tainted with time, Hoary branches waltzed in the wind. The fringed leaves resonating in symphony, A silent cacophony. The fiery green on the ground, It infused all the colours, It imbibed all the sounds, A viaduct of life, Carrying the ecstatic stream, To…

Lockdown Days 32;33;&34

I could not put down the last three days because I had slipped and hurt myself. So many days in confinement make me wonder of the times when I used to step out at the slightest excuse.

Today was another day! I got up late because my sleep does a disappearing act nowadays in the deep of night. And when the dawn breaks,all you want to do is to snuggle deep into the duvet! But you get up cussing and morose for there is so much to do! The day was warm…
