Day 13 - prompt -     as its 13th, today`s challenge is to write a poem that is about the potential luckiness of the number 13, by a jolly stating that "everything is going to Be awesome"

Thirteen is shrouded in mystery

full of superstitions and myths

for me it`s positive vibes

with lucky days ahead

everything`s alright

count my blessings

live nine lives

awesome

luck!

Day 12  - prompt

Today`s challenge is to invert our imagination and write a poem about a very small item.

Happy writing!

Grain of Sand

great rocks battered by the sea

ground down into tiny grains

travelling throughout the world

wherever the great ocean reigns

each grain caught in the current

never knowing where it will land

ever ground smaller and smaller

like all the other grains of sand

invisible in churned up waters 

before its washed up on a beach

joined by millions of tiny fragments

golden grains just out of sea`s reach

then off again when the tide rises

back to travelling along in the sea

where will the grain of sand land?

no idea, so please don`t ask me!

Day 11 - Prompt - challenged to write a poem about a very large things. I hope this chance to versify in the praise of the huge gets your poetic engines humming!

Happy writing!

Icebergs

Sculptured icebergs floating in Antarctica

chunks that have broken off from glaciers

formed of fresh water, sliding down to the sea

these huge structures comprise of many acres

only a small fraction is seen above water

the rest reach down into the depths of the ocean

blue colour, like the blue of its surrounding waters

gives an eerie sensation, along with its bobbing motion

from the first snow fall to the final melting in the sea

this iceberg is ancient, formed over 3 centuries ago

travelling slowly through flat ice sheets where seals rest

these amazing icebergs taken by currents as they flow

with the mysteries of nature surprizing us all the time

each iceberg is totally unique in size and sculpture

hidden in these frozen landscapes, far from civilization

creating spectacular scenery and a memorable picture!

Day 10 - prompt -  Challenged to write love poem.

Happy Writing!

To love you....

To walk hand in hand 

across warm golden sand

never again to be a apart 

to feel your touch so tender

as into your arms I surrender

and know you hold my heart

to always know you`re there

a love for us to share

forever my sweetheart!

Touching a Soul

When you touch someone
with a loving spirit
they touch your soul
with their deep heart
for there is nothing better
on this earth
than a giving person
who knows your worth
as we live each day
may we make a difference
and touch a soul
each and every way
bringing smiles and laughter
to many a needy soul

Love, peace and happiness !

Snow Leopards

Snow Leopards are magnificent cats

living in snow covered landscapes

high altitude acrobats

paws adapted for snow

ambushing their prey

big silent cats

endangered

leopards

I love to walk along the tide line of a beach and let my imagination run free...

spying pebbles tossed up by the ocean, wonder where that stone entered the sea?

Pebbles and souls

Pebbles scattered across the beach

flung around by the high tide

where they`re tossed about in the oceans

travelling in waters far and wide

those pebbles are just like our souls

thrown through waters of the ocean

constantly exploring the world

this roller-coaster in motion

with the waters shaping the souls

as it shapes these many pebbles

some times they`re marooned in one place

others crash around like rebels

for every pebble is different

like the many souls set a drift

only time will tell when they settle

then love will give them that lift

so as you walk along the beach

and spy a pebble laying there

remember to handle carefully

a soul is drifting on a prayer!

Day 7 - prompt   challenged to write a poem that argues against or somehow questions a proverb or saying. They say that "all cats are black at midnight" but really? Surely some of them remain striped.

Maybe there is an ill wind that blows no good. Perhaps that wind just has some mild dyspepsia.

Whatever phrase you pick, I hope you have fun complicating its simplicity.

Happy writing!

Wrong Side of Bed!

if you`re found to be grumpier in the morning

it`s said you got out of the wrong side of bed

this proverb insinuated that this is bad

could be as simple as you banged your head!

there`s no real difference to what side you use

getting out of bed and dressed is what`s needed

some say the left side is unluckier than the right

an old wives tale that some may have heeded 

there`s no right or wrong side of the bed you see

only the fact that you have to start a new day

left siders mean you have job satisfaction

right siders earn more money along their way

beds against walls would prove more difficult

as there`s only one side that can be regularly used

and as for bunk beds, a ladder is definitely a must

three on a bed would make things more confused!

proverbs are just proverbs, there to make you think

little pithy comments full of wisdom and wit

just take care when getting out of bed in the morning

grumpiness isn't nice when  you`re confront with it!
