A haiku poem in response to ronovanwrites weekly haiku challenge # 225, using the prompt words hunger & Strike
The wait is long
the clock strikes on oblivious
to worldly issues
hungry mouths implore
the eyes scan for a morsel
starving stomachs groan
each day a struggle
against tears and hunger
a forlorn saga.
Loving thoughts are always comforting
Errant thoughts play mischief, inviting trouble
Gnawing thoughts give sleepless nights
Divine thoughts envelope a calm
Dreamy thoughts enliven the mood
Frozen thoughts thaw with time, to take action
Kind thoughts spread a positive aura
Intuitive thoughts save the day
Reflective thoughts help the soul evolve,
Fearful thoughts sprout sweat beads
Anxious thoughts steal your peace
Ignorant thoughts brand you a moron
Wandering thoughts do well with direction
Profound thoughts kindle wisdom
Depressing thoughts sap your energy
Tempting thoughts are a total distraction
Emotional thoughts expose vulnerability
Slithering thoughts slip away before action
Immature thoughts need counselling
Radical thoughts garner a movement,
Contemplative thoughts untangle the conundrum
Creative thoughts inspires a magnificent composition!

Amy decided to take the spookiness level of her Halloween party a notch higher. The haunted house in the woods with ravens clucking around, the crinkled pumpkins added to the eeriness. But, the hands creeping around the trees was not a part of the theme….now fear gripped her!

The air is infused with a
nostalgic fragrance
as the eyes take a tour
of a visual delight,
embossed in a digital diary.
A melange of emotions
a chest full of memories
a plethora of holidays
a trail of outgrown footprints,
each snapshot,
enlivens a riot of recollections
the heart rejoices with a smile
the celebrations and the tears
precious moments of life captured
that fade out of mind with
the passage of time,
but the impressions
stamped for eternity
in the photographs.
In response to Ronovanwrites haiku challenge #223, to use the prompt words
Rise & Fall!
Barrage of words spew
when emotions rise and fall
sanity succumbs!
Life’s failure looms large
strong resilient spirit
rise of the phoenix!
Sharing some pictures which define beauty amidst the concrete jungle of the urban landscape.

In response to secretkeeper.net’s weekly writing challenge #161, to use the 5 prompt words given below in a poem/story.
TOUR|HOUR|CHASE|EVOLVE|DUST
With birth, we sign up for a
tour package called “life”
hours roll by into years,
traversing endlessly
to chase a material mirage
creating an illusionary happiness.
Very few souls evolve
to merge into higher realms,
before the transitory body
becomes one with the dust!
