I guess for this post I have no option but to turn
To a place in time when there seemed to be no return
One in hand, one inside, as from patients and books
I learned to learn – the scorching pace, the tired looks
The hurried days, the ” all-nighters”, the missing meals
Deadlines to meet, the travails and yes laughter peals
As I gladly put my aching head to a soft pillow
I would suddenly sit up and think a thought, mellow.
——–
Had I felt the life inside today
Had I counted the kicks or
Had the hectic day robbed me
Of savoring life that was going to be!
That made me think ever so often
“If I could make it here
I’ll make it anywhere”
At last the day did come when
In my arms was a precious one
And a few days, nay, weeks later
A very precious sheet of paper!!

If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere,” goes the famous song about New York City. Is there a place — a city, a school, a company — about which you think (or thought) the same? Tell us why, and if you ever tried to prove that claim.
You were caught in an avalanche. To be rescued, you need to make it through the night. What thought(s) would give you the strength to go through such a scary, dangerous situation?
What’s your idea of a perfect day off: one during which you can quietly relax, doing nothing, or one with one fun activity lined up after the other? Tell us how you’d spend your time.
Why oh why do I have to choose?
Can’t I just let my mind run loose?
Sometimes let it sparkle , sometimes still
Sometimes exotic, sometimes run of mill.
My idea of a perfect day, if I can have my way
From madding crowds , is to be far far away
On a rainy mushy day, give me a cozy corner
Some munchies, lotsa books and a crooner.
I am quite happy on my ownsome
Even if it may make me lonesome.
Quiet companions – my phone and laptop
All this and I’ll be happy even on a rooftop.
But there are days when I want friends and fun
Where my voice can drown even that of a gun.
So my moody mind does the final choosing
Of Sparkling days or still waters- what’s amusing.
GOLDEN KEY: You’ve been given a key that can open one building, room, locker, or box to which you don’t normally have access. How do you use it, and why?
Have been thinking and thinking,
Cannot think of a single thing
As the DP suggests, I want to open best
WordPress may joke may say it in jest!
If any building, room, box or any locker
Has a treasure not meant for my rocker
I want no part of it , so goes my own ditty ,
I have no want for any more in my kitty!
Now wait – if the key opened a troubled mind
Or a beautiful heart – Ah That, I would call a find !!
Trio No 4: Today you can write about anything, in whatever genre or form, but your post must include a speeding car, a phone call, and a crisp, bright morning.
Return Address: Yesterday, your pet/baby/inanimate object could read your post. Today, they can write back (thanks for the suggestion, lifelessons!). Write a post from their point of view (or just pick any non-verbal creature/object).
