Poem Writing Challenge (2): Eminence

The whole of his life was ruined in romance


In attainment of sex he roamed over German Spain and France


When nothing was gained he lost his sense


Yet in the matter of love, he is known scholar of eminence

2347353068?profile=originalDear AG! Thanks for this opportunity! It is just in time!

My friends! You all know that humor is so very different in different countries and you should sometimes know some history to catch up the idea. So, I will start with and old British anecdote.

Once upon a time the King of England was traveling over his country and stopped at one tavern to have a snack. He was not really hungry and ordered only two eggs. But when a waiter brought him the bill - two pounds - the king exclamed:" Two pounds for

Poem Writing Challenge

Without You, I am Nothing

A slight of Light,
It opens my eyes from my blind
Clicked, I voiced at my first moment
I am free from a gently warm womb!,
As I know as the best replacement..

A gently touch,
She makes me sure without doubt..
Mama..You are my angel
You teach me the meaning of struggle

A Man..
He guides me without anxious
He brushes all my lack without nervous
He is my father, he achieves all my glorious
He supports me courageous

They both,
Without them, I am nothing
Without them, I can't do

what to ask?

Well, this is my personal view, based on some experiences that we should know what we should say or ask to others! Yes, I am taking about some expressions. Recently I faced a problem asking someone ' where he /she was and why did not he/ she come. Then response was a bit bitter! I got stunned! Thinking why on earth I went to ask this question? But this was not the first time instead there were a few times when I asked something in a very simple way but answers were not that simple!
So, friends,

Can you go back to nature?

It is like a trap we all are slowly falling into. It is like a drug more and more of us are being day by day attracted to. It is like a blackhole that imprisones us inside without our awareness. In fact consuming, virtual life style in this modern era is killing us, taking our identities and makes us slaves of the system. One day people will forget, how it feels to spend hours outside, how amazing it is to stand on the top of the hill or to sleep under the sky, how it feels to enjoy this awesome

The bells are ringing

This is the first time I try  to make a poem.  I hope I am not too far away.

 

The bells are ringing 

calling closed doors  to  open

 the child does not want milk

tears  won't dry 

The bells are ringing 

Many of them are afraid  

Nights are long

The  cry of that child is so loud

They want survival, who cares?

The bells are ringing 

hungry birds fly helplessly 

in the cloudy sky

The space is not enough

Weak wings stop to flutter

The bells are ringing

Tears are still dropping

But their shouts still linger

In that cl

=Common Sense=

A student submitted his paper to his Teacher…

Teacher: Why it’s blank?

Student: I drew a cow and a grass.

Teacher: (looked again to the paper) where is the grass?

Student: The cow already ate it.

Teacher: (scratching her head) where’s the cow?

Student: What’s the use of staying there if there is no grass anymore? Of course, it will leave.  Common sense Ma’am.

It Is Christmas Time Again!

2347352846?profile=originalHi, my dear friends! As I have a few rather free days, I am in a very good mood and would like to share it with you especially since Chrismas season has already started in my country. I like Christmas despite being an atheist. It makes me recall my childhood, my parents (who were atheists, too), expectation of something good and pleasant. You know, I don't have any faith in any God and I am proud of that as all my decisions and deeds are based on common sense and reason. So, what I want to say i

Be Who You Are

Me, I always admire my grandmother. She was good at speaking Dutch, French and German. When she studied with other Dutch classmates she was a good swimmer. She also great at cooking. I missed her after she and my grandpa died.

They always encouraged me to become number one. I got 1st rank twice in elementary school. My parents didn't

Aleppo the Bloods..

Crying beside my sister and her daughter's dead bodies.. 

Pouring the tear that will never bring them life again.. 

Thinking about my vain life that I wasted without doing them anything.. 

Completely destroyed and spiritless...

I loved my sister and niece more than my whole shitty life.. 

I just wanted them to live like any other people on the earth.. 

And I wanted to be laying down on this floor covered with my bloods instead of them.. 

Oh, Aleppo.. I wanted to skip my bloods on your ground.. 

Oh, Alep

English Expression #4: Got Trolled

2347353157?profile=originalIf you get trolled, it means you fail to recognize a troll and responds to it with anger or annoyance (Urban Dictionary.com).

This ugly creature was first popularized in folktales and movies. It brings fear and negativity to the community. But this has become more familiar with the advancement of technology especially the use of the Internet. Here’s
