Ceasing judgement
Offering hugs when appropriate
Making sure needs are met
Praise efforts to move forward
Accept that grief is a lifelong process
Speak...

IMAGINATIONInspiration should come from our own minds
Many poets are cheating, shame on them
AI is killing creativity!
Galling when people accept the glory ~
It's obvious a chatbot's written it!
No need to plagiarise, sadly some do
All of us have brain cells, put them to use!
Themes like nature are a good place to start
I get inspired by beauty around...

NonchalantNever show
outward emotion,
not to them, and certainly not to yourself.
Cause if you do, they’ll snap the neck of the
bluebird
that still chirps in your ribcage at 3 A.M.

OzzyOzzy placed an ad that said: Ozzy
Zig requires a gig. It was that ad that
Zoomed him into stardom. As a
Young boy, like many others around the world, I was
Overwrought by the sound he and his bandmates pioneered. Ozzy`s
Songs and music is heavy and loud but his voice was so soulful. Misunderstood

Abhiman---
## Pride (Abhiman)
The fire of your memories that ignited,
Our first meeting was grand, the conversation colorful, the mood delightful.
Slowly, time took a turn,
Asking if struggle gives voice to the river, the ocean's wave?
What will your voice be if you're insignificant, whom will you call out to?
The fault of ages, this ongoing drama,
Neither of us is...

Ophidiophobia
Ophid air of misconception
Polarizing those of superstition
Hideous to some and
Indescribably beautiful to many
Devoid of human soul
Involved in man’s downfall
Only to be cursed as
Pretense of innocence
Holding unfounded fear
Of snakes who serve
Behind our sight with
Intense appearance and
Always omnipresent...

ArmisticeNOVEMBER 2022
Rightly so, the poppies flood
Early in the winter sky
Merrily stood in field, and this
Existence of mine has passed by
Maybe they'd watch us contend
But are authorities ever sober?
Early now, in Winter's sky
Realise how they owed her
Unwillingly ignorant to the loss, they'll be
Scorching their retinas, a veil of red...
