what it is that music is trying to say
the melody has opened a gate
where past and present
mingle together
in the mirror
Clearly I can see
the younger and older me
made of dreams and reality
floating and grounded
halves getting together
petals making beauty
my delicious walk in the rain
washing off all the sorrow
lightness is welcoming
staycation is top
my own bed, house and city
hiking nearby trails
no rush and no planes to catch
the time is mine, only mine
her golden hair bounces
as the wind wispears to her
lemons and flip-flops
the sunshine is majestic
dadelions are everywhere
Prompt:
This week, let’s write syllabic poetry using things that are yellow!
wake up
stop and listen
intuition is wise
your body and mind remember
the signs
a new beginning
wonderful journey ahead
please, never look back
A cinquain and a haiku for W3 with Reena’s prompt.
Hello! I’m proud to say that Svenja (thanks Sveja!) has chosen my poem Renewal for last week’s W3 challenge and I’m the poet of the week (PoW) for the W3 challenge this week! As the PoW I set the guidelines for the week’s challenge.
Since it’s February, the month of love, I thought love poems would be perfect, in particular ‘self-love’. And I chose a sonet as a poetry form for it. Click here for all the guidelines details, and join the challenge. I’d love to read your thoughts about self-love and get inspired by them. Below is my sonet loaded with self-love messages for myself, you can use them too!
love yourself today
less than tomorrow
and more than yesterday
completely, not hollow
without fear or shame
embrace the flaws
ignite the flame
do not withdraw
you’ve permission to dream
leave the past behind
work on self-esteem
peace in your mind
know you are enough
you need to be tough
beneath the layers
the river whispers to me
renewal draws near
the clouds, in between
sometimes, the only safe place
mind doesn't know limits
the danger is everywhere
suffocating boundaries
Hello, my blog friends. I haven’t posted here for one month. The business at the end of the year and vacation time kept me away from this space. Happy New Year to you! Hope you had a great holiday and are enjoying the start of the new year.
I went south for my vacation, Caribbean. I really needed a break from the cold weather; it wasn’t much, only a week, but enough to recharge my energy.
I’m never tired of looking at the clouds and the world from up there
all the green and exquisite animals made me happy
oh, the food and cocktails, just amazing, no words to describe how luxurious and satisfying they were
The best of everything was spending time on the beach, doing nothing, only being in the present moment.
Looking forward to a creative new year ahead!
