Gut-Punch

Gut punches are for real, and we get to feel-

No matter what, we are here to learn to deal.

If we do not step in as students here,

The test will become tougher to bear.

When the gut-punch comes, welcome it.

Welcome our teacher to teach us bit by bit.

See the signs, identify the patterns soon.

Understand that gut-punches are a boon!

He tried everything that he could do.

Everyone believed he was truly wise-

He took hints, trying to crack each clue.

How to bring that sparkle to her eyes?

For him, this was a realm totally new!

He knew he would pay any price.

That Rainy Night

She was walking when it started raining heavily.

The street was deserted.

A green-coloured car stopped.

Throwing caution to the wind, she did not think twice before entering the car.

 

Photo Prompt- David Stewart

The car smelled like a forest.

They drove in silence on a dark road.

The driver stopped the car in a desolate place.

Reminder and Expectation

What appears may or may not be true.

All that glitters isn't gold, we know.

But, we take what appears at face value.

The proof is what we're shown & show.

That Battle Within

There's always a fiery battle raging within-

Should we express what may be considered a sin?

Or keep quiet like the rest- why create a din?

Say nothing or share loudly- which will win?

Be My Guest


Be my guest to be my guest -

Mind your own business; don't be a pest!

Many do not know & I am still learning.

May we all get what we are yearning!

I Am October

I am October - the tenth month of the year,

Reminding you that another new year is near!

Yes, round the corner, just two months after me!

Why think of endings; why not the journey?

The Door

Little Lily went to attend a meeting with her parents.

The venue was a historical building.


Visitors were admiring a wooden door.

Letters had been beautifully carved.

The language was not familiar.

The text was not legible.

There was a huge lock on the door.

Prompt- Roger Bultot

Super Supine

I thought I was "Super"; to prove I gave more.

My extra efforts always improved my great score.


I activated & advocated thinking I was doing just fine.

But, the adjective they used for me was "Supine".

When You Do Not Know

When you don't know what to do,

When you feel down and out,

When you just have no clue,

When you feel you have no clout...
