Humanly Yours

Advertisements

( Written for Weekend Writing Prompt #326 – Creed posted on August 26, 2023 by Sammi )

Searched for a very terrestrial lead,

Which was to be of human breed,

Found all superior by wisdom, conscience indeed,

Everyone, but, was of some race or creed.

Asked one where was the human in him,

He looked at me dismayed in materialistic whim.

Said just as much human as required to be on earth,

Days are soon to come when humanity will be in dearth,

Some will go to their planet of desire and need,

Rest will be total embodiment of jealousy and greed.

Weekend Writing Prompt #326 – Creed

Good evening and see you next time. 


Guidelines- Weekend Writing Prompt #326: This weekend your challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose in exactly 84 words using the word “Creed”.

The challenge is simple: each week you will be given an exact number of words you can use to write a poem or piece of prose.  You can use any format or style you like; go wherever your inspiration takes you.  The only rules are these:

  • your poem / prose must contain this week’s word (see note below).  The word does not have to count towards the exact word count total – it can be in the title, or the first letters of the lines of a poem can spell it out – you can be as creative as you want as long as it’s there somewhere.
  • the length of your poem / prose must match the number of words stated in this week’s challenge.  No more.  No less.
  • A note on the word: you can use any variation of the word (for example: call, calls, calling, called etc).  If you find you are struggling to use this week’s word you may substitute it for a synonym – just include a note to explain the swap.  Remember, this is supposed to be fun! 

Can’t wait to read what you have come up with!

Consciously Yours

How long will the darkness last

only till we desire not to be lit in,

There is a crack, a crack in everything,

that’s how the light gets in

So we must look for a way to our soul,

for light to reach our conscience,

Ring the bells that still can ring,

forget your perfect offering

to enlighten your wisdom.

W3 Prompt #69: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Good evening and see you next time.

‘Anthem’ lyrics’

The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be

Ah, the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove, she will be caught again
Bought and sold, and bought again
The dove is never free

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

Presently Yours

( Written for What do you see # 200- August 21, 2023 )

Every human thinks no lesser

than a leader nowadays,

So inculcate a simple human in all leaders.

One smile makes

thousands other to spontaneously smile,

So make us all smile.

Bridge connects

far distances, high lows and difficult terrains,

So bridge all our gaps and differences.

No black or no white

in a colorful rainbow,

So sprinkle all colors around us all.

Hey! Kiddy grow with that innocent smile,

wisdom and happiness,

for future of all of us which we least care about.

What do you see # 200- August 21, 2023

Good evening and see you next time.

   I came across this beautiful message from a college friend of mine from the UAE on a WhatsApp group this morning. I convey my full gratitude to whosoever wrote it first and with the ‘un-granted permission‘ slightly modified it before blogging. I know that the original writer must be a noble man whether or not he/she is a poet. But it is much more imperative to execute it yourself or/and spread these kind of messages/poetry/prose/one liners exponentially than to write them. And, I chose the latter being the easier of the options so, cannot but disown the credit of messaging it further 😊via WordPress as under 👇   –

You don’t have to plant a single tree;
they grow automatically,

you just don’t break them.

You don’t have to clean any river;

It’s flowing, will clean itself,

you just don’t put filth in it.

You don’t have to be a peacemaker;

there is peace everywhere,

you just don’t spread hate and disharmony.

You don’t have to try to save the animal and forests;

that ability is infinite in them all;

 you just don’t kill them and burn the forests.

You don’t have to try to fix anything;

Everything is fine,

just be yourself & mind your business.


Good afternoon and see you next time.

Warmly Yours

Pinely Yours

( Written for Whimsygizmo’s d’Verse Quadrille #182: are you pining poetry?)

To opine on pine,

juggled with words which rhyme,

nothing to thought’s design,

if thought right, words weren’t fine,

words clicked, theme not sublime,

lesson before I did decline,

poems from heart not mind,

mind is subtle, heart decodes lines

as human and intertwines.

Quadrille #182: Are You Pining for Poems? 

Good evening and see you next time. 


Prompt guidelines- It’s Quadrille Monday here at dVerse (my favorite!), when we pen poems of exactly 44 words, including one word we here at dVerse provide. Today, I want you to pine away.

I am still dreaming of the pine forests of Oregon, after being home again for a month. Won’t you join me in…

Getting lost among the pine trees. Pondering the scalloped intricacies of a pinecone. Biting into the sacred sweetness of a pineapplePining away over a lost love. Use pine as a noun, verb, or adjective. Or play around with it and invent your own word.

I also love these pine poems:

If ever you fall you shall rise,

After night always a sunrise,

Every cloud has a silver lining,

There is blessing in every disguise,

this may look like a diminished-ray of hope

but sure to lead to abundance of prize.

( Written for this week’s haiku invitation from Mark at Naturalist Weekly- arrival of autumn fog )

‘Down to earth’ sky calls

to rise over the drenched mist,

for a smooth life-march.

Micro-Season: “Thick Fog Blankets the Sky” (2023)

Good evening and see you next time. 


Guidelines- Haiku Invitation;

To celebrate this season, we will learn about autumn fog and then read haiku by Issa, Basho, Buson, Reichhold, and Kerouac.

This week’s haiku invitation is to write a haiku or senryu that references the arrival of autumn fog.

The World Kigo Database tells us the kiri is the term used for the fog of autumn and winter.  This is different from kasumi and oboro, which are the words used for the mist and haze experienced in spring.

In The Five Hundred Essential Japanese Season Words as selected by Kenkichi Yamamoto, fog is listed in the “Heavens” section of autumn words. In A Dictionary of Haiku, Jane Reichhold lists fog in the “Celestial” category of autumn words.

Now with this in mind, let’s read some haiku!

Share your haiku in the comments, or post on your own page and link back to this post. I can’t wait to read what you write!
