Our past is responsible to a great extent in shaping our lives- our thought process, our conduct and our attitude. We must understand that life is a mixed bag for everyone. All of us are granted our share of happiness, struggles, pain and success. What we choose ourselves is: how we deal with it? Agony or … Read more

Life treats all of us differently; quite the same way, as we all tend to treat life differently.
All human beings have been blessed with one life. But each one of us has his own goals, desires, aspirations and attitude towards life. Thereby, all of us have our own unique way of dealing with problems.
Tanka is a poetry form which originated in Japan more than 13 centuries ago. Tanka, translated, means “short song.” It is similar to haiku in that there are specific numbers of syllables for each line of the poem and they often discuss the same topics of emotions, seasons, nature, love and sadness. This Japanese form has five lines with … Read more
I have written prose poetry this time. Hope you like it!
Deserting me in solitude,
With arrogance and attitude,
Abandoning signs of gratitude,
Tormenting me like destitute,
Swearing never to return,
How could he even yearn?
The ship of my life was about to sink,
My courage abandoned me without a wink,
My future looked obscure, I could see no cure,
Yet my faith in Almighty was eternally pure!
This post is in response to the prompts for Day 8 provided by Poetry 101 course of Blogging University. This day’s requirement is to write a poem on “Pleasure” using anaphora or epistrophe. Anaphora is a poetic device that relies on the repetition of the same word or phrase at the beginning of each verse and epistrophe is the repetition of the same word or phrase at the end of verses.
I have used epistrophe in the below poem:
The exquisite sunrise with chirping birds,
The invigorating sea with covert marine world,
The starlit sky aboding colorful clouds,
The aromatic flowers with leaves abound,
These pleasures are unique,
These pleasures are invaluable!
This post is in response to the Limerick Challenge hosted by @mindandlifematters. This week’s prompt is “Mother”. I decided to write the limerick from the perspective of a mother rather than “for” the mother and I realized that five lines were not able to contain my views and feelings on this theme. So, I will … Read more
Today’s post is in response to the Day 4 prompt “Journey” given by Poetry 101 course of Blogging University.
The journey of life began with my first cry in this world…
From mother’s lap to the floor,
From cradle to the door,
With a desire to feel that shining surface,
Where my mother embraced me with such grace,
I started to crawl…I was so enthralled
I touched the white marble with my hands and feet
I licked it to see if it tasted better than milk…
This post is in response to Limerick Challenge hosted by @mindandlifematters. This week’s prompt is Passion/love/lust. Though I have already posted one limerick but Mother’s Day just round the corner, I wish to dedicate this one for Mother’s Day. Life is to win the race against time Time is priceless, failure is a crime … Read more
