With no electricity, flooded roads and strong gales, the storm had left the town battered. Forced to stay indoors, with no connectivity, Frank was home alone with his family. Like the rain, endless conversations, games, stories flowed. He felt connected to his family after ages!

In response to Sonya’s 3 line tale, week # 130
Mini loved her world of colours and could infuse life into any canvas with her brushes, much to the chagrin of her father, who wanted her to pursue sciences like him.
After a heated altercation with him in the morning, she came back from school, aghast to find all her paintings trampled and colors scattered all across the floor.
From then on, her life was just an insipid blank canvas, devoid of any colors or emotions.
As the years roll by
you traverse the path of life
watching the seasons go by,
basking in the warm sunshine
enjoying the raindrops.
May life greet you with smiles,
open the doors to unlimited happiness
wipe away the gloom and haze.
Mark your calendar with your dreams
let its fluttering pages scatter your wishes,
allow the wafting wind to carry them
high up to the celestial abode
to be gift wrapped with a secure twine
graced by the divine benevolence,
to shower on you the choicest blessings!

Tame|Tot|Peak|Rest|Tale
A nonet in response to the above.
(Nonet (9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1) progression downward of syllables)
A tale of many a harried mom
trying in vain to tame her tot
terrible twos, at its peak
temper tantrums cry foul
raging frustrations
yearning for some
me time, to
rest in
peace.
I am sure many moms can relate to this one 🙂
Caged in a literary asylum
the poetic me,
unclogs the mind
liberates brewing ideas.
A cauldron of thoughts
spill and splash all across
lie in a messy scatter
daring to explore and dream.
I wrap the idyllic musings
in a kaleidoscope of emotions.
The milieu of my thoughts
meander through tiny moments
dismantling my heart.
My quill weaves this tapestry
into a seamless blend
that seems imperfectly perfect
to echo a verse from my soul.

When Sid heard of the magic phone which allowed one to speak to a dead person, he too joined the long queue of people, the only condition being, the phone rings when one touches it. Many tried in vain!
Sid picked up the ringing receiver with trembling hands.
“ Hello…..”

In response to Cee’s Odd ball photo challenge!
Odd balls are those photos that really don’t fit into any category, or when photos are grouped together they appear to be odd.
For this challenge, I am posting some pictures taken at Bremen, Germany !!
In response to Colleen’s weekly tanka # 92, to use the prompt words Bewitch & Treasure (synonyms only)
Solitude beckons
enamored by the beauty
tranquil peace descends
conversations with the soul
abundance of inner peace!
