What rejuvenates you? Do share! Have a lovely Sunday!!
Conundrum!
Contemplating on choices at crossroads
Chaotic cacophony prevails in the indecisive mind
Creates contours of illusionary dimensions
Clarity camouflaged by conflict of thoughts
Complex patterns emerge, trying to channelize the clutter
Connecting the dots, seems to be a challenge
Conundrum sums up life’s path!
This style of poetry is called Pleiades. It has only one word in the title followed by a seven line stanza. The first word of each line begins with the same letter as the title.
Haiku – Farewell!
Autumn breeze drifts hearts
scarlet love turns monochrome
somber farewell hug
The Soul!
Once upon a time, billions of eons ago
it all started with a speck.
The vast expanse beyond the cerulean skies
embraced within it
infinite planets, galaxies and milky ways.
It intrigued and fascinated
Astronomers and Astrologers alike,
who postulated many theories.
The spiritual seeker,
ruminated on the realms of the cosmos
to question our very existence
in this vast evolutionary journey,
to fathom its aura of cryptic mysticism.
Seeking divine guidance,
from the abundant energy of the universe
finally realising that
the body and the paraphernalia
is just ephemeral,
the real truth is our inner core,
the soul.

Water – Reality Check!
In response to Shweta’s 6 word story prompt #56 : Water
They can be read as individual stories or together as one. A grim tale with a strong message.
Wealth futile, if there’s no water.
Year 2050 – water most expensive resource.
Water wars…coming soon…trailers out.
My worst nightmare – an arid earth.
Each drop an elixir – save water.
Bake Story!
Nancy’s photo challenge to post something baked.
Baking is a hobby
I often indulge in
aromas from the oven
waft, to fill in my home
with heavenly scents.

Haibun – The Stormy Concert!
Sweet chirps of little sparrows announce a new dawn .The bright sunny morning welcomes another day. Cheerful flowers bloom inviting the meandering butterflies. As the day settles in, a bunch of billowing mass peeks across the horizon. The balmy demeanor starts to sulk. By noon a boorish band of clouds send the sun backstage, by taking the spotlight. Soon their other dark cousins arrive to dominate the azure skies. A somber mood sets in, as the clan of broody tar clouds take center stage. A thunder here, a lightning there with some spells of showers as if they are testing their mic settings. Once everything is in place, they have a blast. In flashes of tempestuous pitch and torrential downpour, they sing nonstop to a rumbling orchestra.
dark moods vocalize
with thunderous acoustics
rainy symphony
Inspired by the heavy rains lashing out last evening.
Haibun is a Japanese genre of combining prose with poetry. The key to the art of haibun is the graceful pairing of poem and prose, where the poem links to the prose yet shifts away from it.
Irony of our system!
Years of closed conditioning at schools and colleges (especially in India), constricted approach to knowledge, rote learning and marks centric system had buried Gautam’s creative instincts, questioning skills and conceptual understanding.
Today working on a project at office, he was asked to think out of the box and bring in new innovative ideas!!
Isn’t it a sad irony the young work force face today?
This is the first thought that came to me on seeing the picture. Do share your thoughts on it.
