Explosion of Color

imageExploding colors
Brightening life’s long day
When we are sad and blue
Flowers reflect the inward hue

Karaoke Monday

Just as writing is music to my eyes
So is music writing to my ears
And to have some fun, for perhaps on Mondays
We could do with some, it is karaoke time

Welcome to suggest your own
Happy to add them along with mine
It might really save others
From my selection showing my age LOL

Karaoke Time! 🙂

Thank you for the music – ABBA

You’re the one that I want – Grease

Something’s gotten hold of my heart – Marc Almond Gene Pitney Version

Thanking Riccardo and Sugar for inviting me to join the party 🙂

Words Create Worlds

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Recently Acquired.”

Words create worlds
And so I’ve learnt
What we think
Becomes our reality
Stronger and stronger
I can feel myself grow
From hiding, low self esteem
Darkness, depression
To growth and strength
And love and light
What we share can touch
The hearts of others
What I’ve learnt about blogging
Is the power of words

I Wish

I wish
When we make friends we could keep them forever
I wish
When feeling sad, it could be waved away like feathers
I wish
When nighttime arrives, my dream will be one to treasure
I wish
When my fingers start to burn, there will be verses to write
I wish
When I feel pain, there will be those who would take the time
I wish
When I have something to share, there will be those who care
I wish
When I kneel to pray, my prayers reach where they need to go
I pray
For happiness and love, and all things good
I wish

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Abandoned School

as if there are plenty of schools in the world
there is an empty school right here in Sydney
abandoned and not used
reminding us how much
education is key

Feeling Life

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Gut Feeling.”

If an instinct is a feeling
I follow my instinct all the time
For every day in every way
I allow the feeling to lead and guide
If I am in doubt over what to do
Some quietness to get in tune
To what I feel, and never question
How I feel, because therein lies the truth

I have ended friendships, been married, given birth, moved countries, changed jobs, remained at one for many years, I have authored a book and a blog, learning design and soon mobile development, I have questioned others when they have not liked the questions, or the answers or the reply, and I have paid the price of doing so, following one’s instinct is not always the easiest thing to do, there is sometimes pain and pain some more, but it is the only way to go

I live my life by feeling
I write to give my feeling life

Two Sweet Memories

Although they now be
Grown, will never forget two
Sweet babies of mine

Babies

In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo prompt: “Gone But Not Forgotten”

MoodBoard

last night I received a job to do
a job I’ve never done before
I had to choose some images
and place them not just randomly

but in their place to make a theme
write a story with no words at all
allow the colors to speak for me –
not something I can do quite easily

(for my life has always been around
numbers, logic, not much creativity
for one day job I have ever known –
the only profession I have filled

has been back-end, getting code to run
connect to banks, and test and fix
look up data and read it back
VXML my speciality)

now a mood board must I create
and where to even start?
so I chose images to choose my words
and speak my story instead of me

there is nature, there is light
there is style, there is life
there is a butterfly and trees
two pins for victory (not double loser pins like we’ve seen before)

And to form a theme, simplicity
building blocks to make a frame
to tie it all together, orange for Passion
not forgetting a few books for Poetry!

What do ya think, is it a pass?
Or should I do another one?

Bunny Tale

My daughter wrote a story
About a bunny feeling sad
He longed to be at a party
Was excluded from the crowd
Another bunny empathized
With bunny feeling sad
He felt his pain of being
Discarded, left alone
So kindness overtook
And bunny number two
Invited him to go along
To join in with the fun
So bunny was included
He was not left alone
He went along and at the end
His feelings were all glad

The End
