All the colors of rainbow at her feet and the benevolent sky smiling

Whirling in the wind

Brave and heroic ready to defend

Who wouldn’t want this courageous soldier

In your corner, fighting the battle

Putting the enemy into an orbit

By its whirling energy and dexterity

Kira’s Sunday Scribbles August 4-2019- Break free

20190803_121443

 The eyes stare straight ahead but

Cannot see the scene in front of her

There are cobwebs clinging to her brain

The demons dance around her in flocks

Her mind is not her own nor her thoughts

She is slave to what she is being told to feel

Can she break free?

Can she think independently

Or will she always do as she is told

Think as it is imposed upon her?

 

The Prompt;

Welcome to Kira’s weekly inspirational art piece.

Let the whole picture tell you a story, or dive into the small intricate details to make one up! Write a poem, a fiction piece or come up with a picture or drawing of your own, that you feel relates to it.

Broken dreams

What was once whole lays broken now

I look at the pieces scattered and think

What shattered which previously was unbreakable

Was it the constant doubt that undermined it

Or did the harsh words tore its fragments apart

Can I put it together again with love and care

The dream that I had nurtured and then discarded

Needs me to continue to believe in it

If I don’t have a dream for my future

What is that I am looking forward to

The goal, the destination has to be fixed

So that I can chart my way forward

Thursday Inspiration # 15

This week’s theme is melt and the picture is below. Here is the song snippet from “I Melt with You,” written and recorded by Modern English in 1982:

I’ll stop the world and melt with you
You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time
There’s nothing you and I won’t do
I’ll stop the world and melt with you

Thursday Inspiration

Photo found onPixabay

A glance from you melts my heart

Like chocolate melts in warm hands

Millable like putty I am

You can shape me or mold me

Into any shape that you desire

A look of entreaty and I am done

Despite my resolve I always give in

Tale Weaver – #234 – 1st August – Excitement

IMG_0212

 

Excitement lifts up the soul from the body

Taking it into a whirlwind ride way up high

The elation is hard to contain 

The heart feels like it is bursting with joy

It is strongest when we are young and innocent

The feeling of euphoria and excitement dipping

As we grow in age and wisdom

Except for the lucky few

who hold on to the childlike wonder and joy

The Prompt:

This week consider the word EXCITEMENT. What does it mean to you?

Write your response and link it using the linking tool below.

Have fun.

Thursday Photo Prompt- Destination #Writephoto

#writephoto

Welcome to this week’s writephoto prompt.

If you know where it was taken, please keep it to yourself to let imaginations play.🙂

Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, by noon(GMT)  Wednesday 7th August and link back to this post with a pingback to be included in the round-up.  There is no word limit and no style requirements, except to keep it fairly family friendly.

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a path between an avenue of trees. Shadows from hidden sunlight fall across the path, but mist obscures the way forward…

 

The morning dew glistens on the glass verge

Dawn Light filtering through the trees in shafts

The road winding down into the shadows

The mist obscuring the view from my eyes

I know I  my destination lies  through this path

But what lays at that point I don’t know yet

I will keep my eyes fixed on my goal

The path may deviate but I won’t lose my way

Reena’s Explotation Challenge # 98-Perspectives in life

For Reena’s Exploration Challenge, I am reposting a poem I wrote a while ago, but it fits the brief:

The world around us appears how we see it

It’s not the same for everyone that’s true

We all have a different perspective on everything

That is how we look and see the life differently

A happy news may not gladden everyone’s heart

Because each may be expecting things differently

My joy may not be your and your sorrow

May not touch my heart in the same way at all

What is a treasure to me, may look like peanuts to you

Your millions may seem just pittance to someone else

The things that are important to one may not be to some

This life has lots of different faces all are in their own way

Important to one or the other in us but we all only can see

This world through our own perspective and no one else’s

~~~~~~~~~
