Lockdown Day 5

Day 5. It's another day today. It seems like one day is rolled into another. A routine has been set and the work goes on. As I sit down to think and contemplate,I wonder where it will end. People are saying a surge is inevitable. It is like we are waiting for the apocalypse to…

"Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “beside you.” Write about whatever is beside you when you read this prompt.

Colleen’s 2020 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 170, #ThemePrompt

This week's theme prompt by Sally Cronin is Night Sky. I have written an etheree. Sky anointed with a mystical hue, Haunted by its melancholic depths, A night dark and deep in the void, But embellished and adorned, The silvery beacon, Its luminous glow, Showing you way, In Darkness, All way, Home.

What Day is it Anyway? Saturday March 28th, 2020

Today was Day 4. Not much change in daily routine. Doing daily things took most of time leaving me bone tired. Rested and then flipped through some old magazines. The count seems to rise each day leaving one scary. The sparrows are twittering and cuckoo sang a few times. And the crows have gone more…

Thursday photo prompt: Wistful #writephoto

A Haibun The vast empty moorland extended into miles of lush greenery, virgin pristine forests. The rising rays of the sun warm pink seemed to blend into the misty moorlands,a melange of heavens and earth. The entire diaspora was in harmony. There was no one to disrupt the ecstatic peace. Lonely are lands now, Yet…

Today was day Three. I got up a bit late and did my morning prayers. Catching up with friends over WhatsApp over a cup of tea cheered me up. We sent each other stupid emojis and laughed. It was an emoji battle,silly and childish. But everyone wanted a diversion, a reprieve from all that was…

What Day is it Anyway? Thursday, March 26th, 2020

The second day dawned bright. The sun was high up in the sky. It is getting warmer and you get up in beads of sweat under the duvet. I look morosely at the AC dying to put it on. But Corona scared me. I did some cooking and some household chores. It is now sinking…

Day one# 21 Day Lockdown. Officially,today is day one. But it started on Sunday. We all are dazed and trying to come to terms with it. Its strange. No door- bells. No papers. No honking. And no evening walks by the bay. And no house- help. I am the cook,the cleaner, the laundry incharge. The…

Thursday photo prompt: Crown #writephoto

What you sow, You shall reap, They said. I worked hard, Day and night, All rolled into one. I harvested the fruits, Mellow and juicy, A luscious aroma, It spread in my life. But, I lost my way, Deceived in the maze, The bare stalks laughed at me, Swaying merrily, Spread in the vast expanse.…
