Happy Friday! It has been a while since I blogged as I had family visiting me over the holidays but I was so happy to open my page this morning to find that I now have over 4000 readers following my blog! Thank you so very much for your support and encouragement, I truly appreciate each and every one of you!
May 2018 bring you all the happiness, smiles and all things that make your heart happy! ❤ ❤
Hope you are all having a fantastic 2017 so far! Last month I was approached by a fellow blogger, Suparna from https://pulsingthoughts.wordpress.com/ about writing something for her non profit online magazine, Festive Riot. The magazine features some great art, poetry and short pieces by individuals around the globe. Needless to say, I was honoured by her request. I am so humbled to be part of their new year edition. Thank you again Suparna for the opportunity. Keep up the great work! Please check out her blog if you haven’t already done so for some great poetry and awesome posts.
You can check out the New Year edition of Festive Riot via this link. My poem in on page 6.
It’s December and the holidays are almost upon us…naturally, that calls for a collaboration to celebrate the season! It will be open till December 31st, 2014 and I hope to see many contributions from my fellow bloggers and friends :).. As usual contribution can be made in the comment section and I will add them in the order they come…All contributions will be in different colours and I will list the contributor in the same colour at the end of the piece. Happy Holidays and hope to see you all join in!

Watching snow
fall quietly by your window
warming your heart
for the holidays…
smiling from deep inside as I address each greeting card and knowing that it really isn’t that hard to make someone else smile from deep inside with the bit of cheer I can provide!
On the stove’s a singing pot To relieve the biting cold I’ll make the tea piping hot A taste of India, so bold Brings back memories I forgot And stories long since told Of holidays that mean a lot To all, both young and old
end of year so many new memories weaving patterns with the old not a hint of snow climate warms future challenges us
Temperatures fall Snowfall This pic Grabbed my eye ball
If snowflakes were glitter a festivus season to remember with ever six degrees of connection warm smiles and happiness is an infection.
“Keep Christmas your way–
Let me keep mine!”
Scrooge’s habit, bitter denial.
~
My hope is that
We all keep Christmas
In our signature styles–
Savor, cherish meaning awhile.
~
Not held for mere
Day, within our hearts;
Treasure Babe-King’s love always–
Never let it depart.
In wonder I stand My face turned towards the skies As the flakes touch down gently upon my face Melting and mixing with tears of joy Knowing you will be home again soon. I smile at the memories Soon to be made Of another perfect holiday Spent with you.
after the harvest comes the season of reflection
a celebration of the gifts we have received
throughout the year but have often been too busy
during summer’s longer days to open
to gratefully acknowledge and to savor
初雪(はつゆき First Snow – haiku
midnight: snow flowers spiral down and quickly die on my outstretched hand.
