Michael is the host of Sunday Writing Prompt this week
This week write your response in story or poetry form in which ‘cards’ of one form or another feature.
It doesn’t have to be limited to playing cards, it could card of any kind, credit cards, business cards, just go where the prompt sends you.
~*~*~*~
You play with the cards life has dealt you with
No use of crying over what was given to you at the start
But be assured that if you lack one thing, there is more of the other
There is a balance in each and everything that happens
We can spend our entire lives ruing what should have been
Or we can make of it what can be and what will be
~*~*~*~*~

Admittedly, we all are different
Our lives and circumstances are different
No two people have life exactly the same
Yet we are all connected to each other
Emotions shared with empathy and understanding
We feel the joy of others and laugh with them
We even clown about to make a sad friend smile
Or shed tears when we see a tragedy happening
It is heresy in my opinion to divide people
On the basis of race and religion or color of skin
Though there’s no quick fix to the problem of racism
We can nip this evil in the bud when others try to divide us

You may call it my idiosyncrasy but for me
A day without hope is a day totally wasted
It is my anchor and my support and without it
I am like a ship facing multiple storms simultaneously
If you encounter me in person, I might irritate you
With my positive and optimistic attitude, in perpetuity
There is no part of my heart unoccupied, hope lives everywhere
In my laughter and in my tears you still can see
How sincere I am when I tell you that I am grounded
And centered because a bird called hope lives in my soul
( Inspired by Emily Dickens poem)

#DailyPrompts
He is forgotten by the people, left alone
Branded a felon, given a wide berth
His life wasn’t always like this or this hard
He used to be someone with a name and an address
Now he is at the bottom of the food chain
Eating food thrown away by the others
Existing at the fringe of this heartless society
He expects nothing from those he sees daily
There is no shelter from pouring rain or burning sun
From Monday to Sunday, week after week
He is never first in line always the last
This should not be his ending, we should make sure
Give his life a better caption, help him find his purpose again
Today’s RDP Prompt is homeless. So I’m sharing my poem from a couple of days ago!

Begone racism, scurry away to a dark corner
Where you and others like you belong
It is unfair, echoes the perfunctory sentiments
When faced with this deadly demon of inequality
Our words fall short of the experience that others feel
These typical responses won’t cut the deal this time around
We may be unready to herald this change right now
But the reality is that it’s way past the time for it
Take out the carcass of racism and bury it deep
Let not its’ specter escape, let’s get rid of it altogether

Trust and faith sometimes can be frangible
We pay penalty for losing hope with unhappiness
I would rather sing odes to the blessings which
I and my household are endowed with, innumerable
Nothing epic, all simple ordinary things I can count
But each and everyone one of them makes my heart stout
This gratitude starts the journey initially
And takes me to the road of marvelous discoveries

Michael is the host of Tale Weaver
This week weave your tale around your response to the word: ‘blessing’.
~*~
My grandfather once told me the secret to a good life
Be a blessing in someone’s life, not a curse
Be the one who brings smiles to a face, not tears in the eyes
Be the hand that lifts not the one that pushes down
Utter the words that encourage and empower others
Never be the naysayer or the voice of doom
His words were his golden rules he lived by, all his life
Now long after he’s gone, I try to honor him
By modulating my life according to his advice

Linda is the host of Stream Of Consciousnesses Saturday
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “link.” Use it as a noun or a verb; use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
2019-2020 SoCS Badge by Shelley! https://www.quaintrevival.com/
~*~
Like links of a chain, we are linked to each other
Break a link and you break the chain, setting adrift
The parts which come together as a whole
Strengthen this chain, be the link that holds tenaciously
As one we will survive
If broken we will scatter
Like dead leaves in the wind

What is the most important thing in my life
The free will given to me to choose my path
Do right or go wrong I have the freedom to make a decision
This is my test in life for I was given a mind to think
All my decisions are extremely important as a lot rests on them
The outcome depends on my choices and I am entrusted
With a great responsibility when I was given a free will
