In Response to Brenda's Wordle 167~ People Play All the Time ~

Image
'All the World is a Stage' All  People merely players' some play at different places some at different levels some play cool some play havoc some create terror while guns fire bullets rain some watch in horror some just scratch,  hold the keys while others kill  a few give orders  some  just wait and  stand still some are warned and shown a card yellow playing bad and wrong you are dead in red a single move bite, a single push of the head  is just a phase of the test competitive match if the approach is right strong and aggressive the result will surely be glinting gold successive Human Life is a speck of dust a grain but what is really true is the inner spirit,attached

For POETS UNITED ~ The Living Dead ~ Honouring our Poetic Ancestors ~ Lord Byron ~ 'She Walks in Beauty'

Image
Rosemary Nissan-Wade of POETS UNITED  has made a 'Great Choice and just right for this time of the year'.' For me it brings nostalgic memories of college days when 'Romance and Romanticism ' was in the air' Keats  Shelly Wordsworth and Byron the Lord all were in our hearts and souls' The term Romanticism had different connotations till I studied English Literary Poetry as a subject. 'Romantic Age' was the period in the History of English Literature when writers turned towards' Nature' to write about 'Humanity flowers clouds oceans trees and the human emotions as 'love in its true form' Out of the 'drawing room' came the Lords and Ladies and we got 'Daffodils' and so many other classics, the poem I wish to share 'She walks in Beauty' by Lord Byron George Gordon Byron, better known as Lord Byron (1788-1824), was an English poet of the Romantic period. As a Romantic, he embraced the power of the heart ...

For POETS UNITED ~ I Wish I Had Written This ~ It matters that life lives through you'

Image
Rosemary Nissen-Wade has presented a Poem by Poet  Roger S. Keyes 'Hokusai says Hokusai says look carefully. He says pay attention, notice. He says keep looking, stay curious. He says there is no end to seeing.' Deeply grateful and highly appreciate the amazing lines shared here at Poets United keeping enlightenment bright and alive... In the first reading it gives a feeling of the simple philosophy of life but as one reads on the philosophy becomes strikingly sharp. 'Its about 'what matters in life' and that is the true gist of the purpose of existence' 'Everyone has to find a way to live with fear' how true.'Just a few days ago I wrote 'six words' which I felt reflected my life's stance in these times when killing is rampant' who kills for what' no one knows' 'Stray bullets don't frighten me anymore' and I realized that strength of faith is the rope to hold onto... 'Everything lives ins...

For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Light and Dark ~ "Not The Last"

Image
It is always the same day and night darkness prevails before the light Nature loves us in all colors gives us perpetual favors we count the days we say it is the last sometimes shortest sometimes longest as each moment becomes the past boundless open and vast Blessings abound slow and fast majestic evening descends as I too watch through the living room window beauty merges and emerges it is not the last but just a cover as the year end crosses over colors, lights, birds and leaves quietly doze off to sleep  evening  time Nature's enrapture as I click my camera,  to capture...

For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Number 13 ~ Uncountable They Twinkle ~

Image
Be it celestial or terrene  from Azbine to  Phillipine Life revolves around numbers one to a dozen twelve to 13- One means power and so does 3 but who decides this who knows Hellen Dauphine Clementine or Spalpeen? that lucky or unlucky is number 13? be it coincidence or deliberate action 9+4 or 1/3 fraction, chaos or mess 12, traditionally signifies completeness 13 makes 'friggatriskaidekaphobia' and stress" 12 lines  on paper full moon in the sky the day past, sun hot and high no cloud nor wind nor storm nor rain but a plane shot down 4+9 die in Ukraine The Power is One and Only One Who Created, countless numbers uncountable they twinkle to show the Way choose the Right Path Believe, the Stars, say"

For Imaginary Garden with Real Toads ~ Lost Art of Letter Writing ~ ' The Letter Flew the Wrong Way ~

Image
There was a time when letters were written enclosed in an envelope and thrown over the wall-The receiver would then be sent a text message of ' mail dropped receive please' This particular letter somehow slipped behind the newly placed washing machine on the terrace and was abandoned as lost for many days and so these lines came into being......... Dear Friend I Wrote I Sent I Waited  But  You never received my letter I never knew And I thought you did not wish to write You looked for it and did not find it-- How awfully odd or maybe sad you must have been- When no postal packet there was on the scene; What strange emotions from the spirit must have risen? Oh Dear for the misplacement of the letter May I be forgiven? I never knew that you never set eyes on the paper blue And I got a message so prompt so kind, “so nice of you’ What brevity of the wit was writ on the mini screen?  And I thought “a reply, but only words, and words -so few?” ...

For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Remembering the Tank Battle of Chawinda ~

Image
This week POETS UNITED takes up a striking writing motif of Public Protest and History combined. My experiences reveal that Protests always begin in a peaceful state but later end up in violence.If Protests are for the Basic Rights then the struggle must continue till success.Then in comes determination and a profound spirit of sacrifice. Independence gained at a huge cost of human sacrifice must be defended protected and preserved.When the time comes the nation stands up to the demands and so the Midweek Motif gives the writer an opportunity to honor the Brave as the Chinese Patriot steadfast in front of the tank.                 The Battle of Chawinda was a part of the Sialkot Campaign in the War of 1965.       It was one of the largest tank battles in history since the Battle of Kursk in World War II.
