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 pineapple. Pining 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!

Firstly Yours

( Written for W3 Prompt #68: Wea’ve Written Weekly, posted on August 16, 2023)

Don’t call me that for every cat is not pussycat,
though I had a cousin named pussycat,
Now, Don’t ask me how she is or gone where,
rather ask me what specialty that I have,

or maybe, what can I do for you,
Outer space makes me special where I have been,
The first cat that could courage that was I,

firstly, pussycat was approached but she got frightened,
even I was worried more than a little,
then thought, there must be a difference between a cat and a mouse,
so I dared the rocket drive and leave my chicken-heart under,
Now I am proud of myself and really thank her,
I am Félicette, and I am not for that pussycat brand chair.

W3 Prompt #68: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Good evening and see you next time. 

I used the Nursery Rhyme, Pussycat- Pussycat, as my Golden Shovel poem and used the lines ” pussycat pussycat where have you been” and “I frightened a little mouse under her chair” for this.  Further, Félicette (French pronunciation: ​[felisɛt]) was a stray Parisian cat who is the only cat to have been launched into space. She was launched on 18 October 1963 as part of the French space program.

Prompt guidelines-

( Written for What do you see # 199- August 14, 2023 #Whatdoyousee Or #WDYS )

Its was a half open door of independence,
Maybe a half-closed door of opportunities,
But, sure was a full closed door of self esteem,
And shadowed identity as nation,
That persisted for more than 115 years,
It was finally done away with 76 years back,
And, we commemorate that “tryst with destiny” on 15 August.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Aug. 12, 2023

Good evening and see you next time. 

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “envelope.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Here are the rules:

1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing (typos can be fixed), and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.

2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.

3. I will post the prompt here on my blog every Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a particular subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” “Begin with the word ‘The,’” or will simply be a single word to get you started.

4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours.  Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.

5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read all of them! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later or go to the previous week by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find below the “Like” button on my post.

6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!

7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.

8. Have fun!

Wishfully Yours

No love or affection in this entire existence is with as selflessness as it is in the love for our own country. And, I am no exception to this, so being an Indian up to my fingertips, here is my salute to our nation on our independence day today.  

मेरा देश प्रथम है

मेरा देश प्रथम है

वाद से विवाद से किसी प्रतिवाद से

मेरा देश प्रथम है

शीश के अभिमान से युगों से शान से

धैर्य से  मान से गर्व से जान से

मेरा देश प्रथम है

रक्त के ताप से ईश के प्रताप से

प्रेम के आलाप से सुखों के जाप से

मेरा देश प्रथम है

हार की रार से जीत के प्रहार से

अपनो के प्यार से शत्रु के वार से

मेरा देश प्रथम है

श्वास के उद्भाव से रक्त के प्रवाह से

जीवन के भाव से स्वप्न के प्रभाव से

मेरा देश प्रथम है

हास से परिहास से एक-एक स्वांस से

मृत्यु के आभास से जीने की आस से

मेरा देश प्रथम है

मेरा देश प्रथम है

Country first to me
Country first to me
Beyond the sense of life 
Beyond the influence of dreams 
Beyond laugh and derision 
Beyond every breath 
Country first to me 
Beyond the hope of living 
Beyond the fear of death
Beyond the joy of victory
Beyond the sound of the conch
Country first to me 
Beyond any argument or any dispute
Beyond the pride through ages
Beyond patient 
Beyond  respect 
Country first to me 
Beyond the heat of blood 
Beyond the majesty of His Kindness
Beyond the chant of happiness 
Beyond the chant of love
Country first to me 
Beyond the cry of defeat 
Beyond the blow of victory
Beyond the love of loved ones 
Beyond the attack of the enemy
Country first to me 
Beyond the origin of breathing 
Beyond the flow of blood
Country first to me
Country first to me
