Childhood Days

Childhood Days
I woke up and I realized it was almost dusk, I had slept through the day because I was weary. I was weary not because my body was tired, it was my heart, my being that was tired. In the semi-darkness of the room I found myself so utterly alone. I hung my head between my legs, feeling the futility of my life, my youth half gone with nothing to be proud of. And without cause I remembered a day in my childhood. I was at the beach, my parents, my brothers and sisters were with me. We

This One's For Crocodile

A poem written for my friend 'Dile the Crocodile.

An exotic tale of friendship that goes back in time like an ancient history
Perhaps not the kind of account that's exceptional, arousing or newsworthy
But indeed worth telling...never dile-apidated (dilapidated), never crummy
And in this friend's own dile-ct (dialect) I'll pen our story. 

Once there was a creature...dile-irious (delirious) but funny
A bit dile-inquent (delinquent) on the outside...he plays recklessly
A sentimental fool inside...

Writing Prompt ~ Collocations with Do

I am doing my best to make her happy, but she doesn’t respond the way I do.  I do the work she leaves incomplete.  I do the laundry, I do the dishes, but I daily do the dishes, even if she is at home doing nothing.  I do write articles, research work, which she forwards with her name as she did all of them.  I’m good at hair dressing, so she always asks me to do her hair, which I do with pleasure.  What she does for me, she doesn’t do anything for me, oh, yes she doesn’t let me go loose, and she

Violin

Last night I watched a woman who was playing a violin. It was marvelous. I was so touched by her performance. It made me to write a few sentences down and I would like to share it with you. She told before learning how to play violin, she was so depressed. Nothing could cheer her up but violin. She played so well. As I was listening, I got the feeling that she put her soul in her music. It was her soul who talked through her music.  It made me thinking that we human beings mostly utter our feeli
