I am an exile then, some other land
beneath another sun must have been mine.
I speak a new language and clasp your hand,
I taste the grapes from your vine,
They are sour, bitter to my mouth,
I don't enjoy such,
missing home, both north and south!
I prefer my own kind of fruit,
peaches or oranges are sweet and good,
I dwell on words that's soft
with friends and eyes,
gentle and aloft.

Identity is important to all of us, but, it shall NOT block anyone
from achieving and winning anything, we may not identify ourselves,
we do seek common ground and try to think cleverly, aptly, and foolishly
at times, it is a way to unfold your stories.

Happy Writing!

featured poem number one:

From the Gypsies Metamorphos'd

by Ben Jonson

the faiery became upon you,
the starres to glister on you,
A Moon of light,
In the Noone of night,
Till the Fire-Drake hath o're-gone you.

The Wheele of fortune guide you,
The Boy with the Bow beside you,
Runne aye in the way,
Till the Bird of day,
And the Lucklyer lot betide you.

featured poem number two:

The Way

by Edwin Muir

friend, i have lost the way,
the way leads on,
is there another way
the way is one.
i must retracee the track,
it's lost and gone.
back, i must travel back,
none goes there, none.
then i'll make here my place,
(the road leads on)
stand still and set my face
(the road leads on)
stay here, for every stay,
none stays here, none
I can not find the way,
the way leads on
Oh, please I have passed
that journey's done
and what will come at last?
the road leads on!
 






short story slam week 49 story of the week, Providence by KaySalady

Providence
Indefinable
From the center of a crowd
Shadowed by a cloud of isolation
While on the inside looking out
I can feel a silent shout
Of desperation
Wishing to begin again
And wanting so much to fit in
A world that has me by the tail
I fear for all my days
This chase within a maze
Will never cease
And as the feathers fly
Into that discontented sky
I search to find the source
Of my release
Just when I think all hope is gone
I find the strength to lean upon
Must come from wisdom’s bitter well
As I kneel, I find perfection
Inside my own reflection
This truth is difficult to tell

Hiding from Spirits Oct31 by PoetryRoad


Anxiety stretched across a painted sky
Emotions run from screams
Shadows dance upon the graves
Behind the stones I hide
From the ancestors left behind
Mindless thoughts turned inside out
Regret fills my soul
Words never spoken cry
Pages of a book never turned
Lessons too late learned
The stone grows cold
Against my back
Darkened like the sky
Time was not the reason
Nor was the change of season
Just life in a young girl
Selfish whims and vanity
Questions chase the shadows
Regret fills the empty hole
Forgiveness seals the broken soul
The arm of death stretches
Wrapping itself around so close
The sky brings mornings light
The tears dry and I am alone
Reminded of a place called Home

Microfiction Mondays by Susan PetitJean

one of entries is below:

a baby dragon is born
the long horse kingdom is filled with rosy mood

a diving king
a swimming swan

things sing
if he smiles at shen

thins loose
if he giggles at ella mother goose

things lighten up
if he winks at googler juliet stevenfannies

things cool down
when he speaks of the name of henryetta francisco brown

That’s a Wrap

today we promote two talented story writers, who write
with love and care

anjum wasim dar


images
pageants of multi colored circles
continuously  mixing separating forming
eternal orbiting rainbows
like multifarious lens opening in the sky
up high,round and round they move
effulgence extreme
was the sky ever dark or blue
incredible miraculous amazing hue
Divine Power manifest unimaginable
mesmerized I gaze and try to comprehend
Love is Supreme in colors and scheme
in a flash…all was glowing -the evening sun
shone ,I saw it smile,coming closer …closer
dancing with joy, whirling twirling…fading down
I waved farewell… and heard ‘the predawn prayer’
Call Sound…


summer rain




On the wings of Time…

Many eons ago, humans and Gods lived together. It was a time of abundance and joy. Thirst or hunger were unknown and the slightest flicker of a desire was fulfilled. Into this world of bounty tiptoed Love in her chariot of flowers and myrrh, not to forget her gifts of passion and lust. With Love visiting them, the humans and Gods were put in a state of disarray. Suddenly, desires were not crystal clear as before. Their minds were often in the throes of passion, love and lust to think  without pause. They were like leaves on waves, tossed about mercilessly. 
For the first time in history, a conference was called. Humans and Gods and animals and plants and insects and birds – they wondered how they could address this strange yet seemingly unsurmountable problem. Love was an extremely powerful force and they couldn’t stand up to her. They had never seen someone like her.
Love attended the conference in her robe of jasmine flowers and lotus leaves. She heard them speak and listened.  And then, she listened some more.  Finally,  she told them they had a choice. 
A choice?
Yes, she said , in her strong, clear voice. It can help you stay calm and yet seat me on your mantle, worshipped with incense and doused in perfume.  
Time is the choice, she continued.  You have been living a timeless existence. But just a little distance away, unknown to any of you, lies the eternal dark. A darkness that can be transcended only by me. An obscure land wherein lies the most beautiful thing in the world : death. When life can begin again.  Where we can begin, again and again. And that is my choice.
You can live timelessly without me . Or you can choose to step over into the dark, where time can heal and soothe your soul. Over this wondrous thing called Time, you can become one with me and we can flow seamlessly over time (again), beginning again and yet again. It is your chance to be as powerful  as I am. The creatures of the world were perplexed. Love spoke again, 
When you choose Time, you also choose me for but a short while. For I cannot fly but on her arms. And my charms are powerless before her magnetic, radiant smile.  
It is decided then, said everyone.  We, the creatures of the universe, choose Time. We welcome her into our world.
And that is how Time, Death and therefore Life, came to be.

Short story slam week 52: READING

I never go out with my son
When he was child, because
Finance did not permit that situation,
King is mind, saint is not my attitude.
Now I do not go out with my grandson,
It is not that finance is not felt enough
For that scope, it is still in scarcity.
Mind has a motive, I can afford it.
I discover that my grandson is waiting for
Something new, reading, writing and playing,
His young mind can marry prized motive
That can spread life like a small butterfly,
And make acquaintance with all basics
Those can bloom with creativity for new world,
But I cannot do that, his parents think
Reading, writing, playing can flourish in curriculum.
I fear trails and tails of that young mind
May travel in barbed fence, and the world
Will see a general view of that custody,
Which preserves obedience to the king.

Freedom

Look at the nature , water or land
Look at birds Breathing fresh air,
Look at each of these animal
Being it’s  confident self ,
Look at the fishes swimming in sea
Elegant ,graceful
Just like dance…
yet eyes wide open alert
Flowing through life
Not being Naive,
Freedom is State of being free
This is the true nature that should be!lgwiz00683the-rainbow-fish-ii-mini-mural-by-marcus-pfister-mini-wall-mural
Relieve yourselves from thoughts
that chain from being free
keep moving…
keep flourishing
Living means having life
Being alive
Freedom allows one to live
Are’nt we part of these nature
and the other beings around?
Free your hearts from noise
fill them with silence
Bring inner beauty and love
RADIATE THEM OUT!
Be free be happy
exist in present
Being present in NOW
gets everyone
A Happy living!
