We came to the promised land, With dreams and an education, But on little else to start and stand, There was no room for distraction. Life was no bed of roses, Tests came at regular doses, From accent and appearance, To culture and clearance. Many challenges were faced, New paths traced. New rules braced, Networks … Continue reading Immigrants
Blankets on the couch, where members slouch, chocolate stains in nooks and pouch, incite some anger and insincere ouch! Unpicked shirts, trousers and sock(s), half closed drawers that mock, bathroom shout for a towel or tooth paste, From someone who entered in haste. An unsharpened pencil, papers, puzzle pieces and a stencil, a pen, a … Continue reading Untidy Home

With some I share a home, With others, a deep connection, I live in their hearts and mind, In thoughts loving, sweet and kind. They live in mine, I might not with … Continue reading Living in Hearts

The breathtaking milieu appeals silently, Bestowing gifts abundantly, Revealing power of … Continue reading White Beauty

Once again a false assurance, Or will he keep his words and patience. Triggers in life will not end, I can wait and pretend. Think of ways to prevent his reactions, … Continue reading Failed Promise
Is there a method to creative writing? does it start with nail biting? moving from doubting to deliberating, to an actual penning or typing. I begin with observing, continuing with thinking and reflecting, Word flow and scribbling, And finally to subject linking. Observation is very important, Without it, all else can stay latent. Listening to … Continue reading Method to Madness
Children in a park, Are a happiness spark, Seeing them walk, wander or wonder Lift up spirits from down under. Happiness at the kick of a ball, Runs from one to the next stall. Amidst a few caution call, And some small brawl. Giggles on a swing, Or sand drawing of a ring, Exploration of … Continue reading Children in the Park
