Share Your World: Writers Write

Favorite Blog Post:

My favorite post would be my first prose that I wrote. I posted to my FB account, along with others that I wrote after, and a friend encouraged me to start a blog.

It was only after I posted this post to my newly born blog, I came to realize how much I hated re-reading it.

I decided to focus on poetry. But after being overwhelmed at a One-Day Poetry Workshop at the University of Sydney – 2014, I decided to stop writing (because I don’t know how to write). I resumed in September last year when a series of events upset the heart of me. Therapy is too expensive.

And after all, writers write.

Most enjoyable way to spend $500

Boutique shopping

Because shoppers shop (only sometimes) (when we are working, and have money to shop)

Answer to the meaning of life
Why are we born?
To be manifested into the physical realm to create lives for eternity

Where do I eat breakfast
Table in my kitchen

What am I grateful for from last week, and what am I looking forward to next week?
Receiving my book design (!!!!!!!!!!), looking forward to high tea with my teacher and friend from 1984. But not looking forward to saying goodbye.

THANK YOU for reading 🙂

Share Your World – 2015 Week #8

My Voice

My voice—it does belong to me
The thoughts that wander through my mind
The feelings felt upon my heart,
My mind, my soul
Are unique in how they appear to be
Just as my fingerprints are
Uniquely mine
So are those words I type—
My voice is part of me

72 Hours

72 hours
Is all you get
72 hours
To say goodbye
72 hours
To pray your prayers
72 hours
Of breathing air
72 hours
Is all you get
72 hours
Until shot dead

Thoughts are with Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran and their families, whose fate hangs in the hands of those in power. They did the crime, turned their lives around, and now must face the fine ❤

Pounding Heart

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Fight or Flight.”

My flight arrived
I could see a glimpse
But could not leave to go
My heart started pounding
My belly started twisting
My nerves could take no more
I closed my eyes and made a wish
And wished myself very
Far away from there

Three Roses

As you might have guessed already, roses are my favorite flower. There is nothing as perfect as a rose in full bloom. And as quickly it blooms, as quickly it fades. So catch it while you can!

If my husband had not named my daughter Julia while I was still on the operating table, she would have been named Rose. I settled for Julia Rose.

Passionate red rose
In all its glory unfurled
Perfect creation

Pales shades of soft pink
Hinting of translucent tones
Of rose perfection

image

Creamy white petals
Placed in perfect harmony
Forms delicate rose
