Night Out at the Carnival
Neon lights twinkle against the velvet, dark skies, Ferris wheel spins like a huge ring of fireflies; Shadows sway in the pavement, tents, booths, and crowds, As bright bulbs bring glare to cotton candy clouds . Iron tunes from colorful carousel Equalize clanking ride near the dinging bell; Laughter listens to chatter screams in delight, As hush whispers before the ride...

Premium Member Whimsical Joy
When grief calls and pain descends, the primary goal becomes survival, but once the dark cloud of loss starts to lift, it is hard to find joy in the same places that joy was present before, so now joy is often brought by moments of whimsy...

Premium Member SENSE OF TASTE
By the street lamp we stand by, our favorite restaurant. Seeing people are eating, hot dishes being devoured. Food plays with my hungry tongue, senses are jumping for joy. Another heavenly meal, mouth and stomach did enjoy....

Motherland carnival
The sky was draped in night’s black cloak, With a sprinkle of white specks in bloom. The yellow moon slipped into a gibbous cocoon, As sunshine fretted in crescent-shaped kites. But the streets today were painted in bright colours— They cloaked the rainbow in a toga of envy. Many danced and sang in melodious harmony, Dressed like masquerades with neither masks nor...

There is joy in the world
Inspired by joy. There is joy in the world By Michelle Morris 23/07/2025 There is joy in the world But sometimes we're too busy to notice Every bird that heralds the morn Every sunrise that brightens our day Every sunset and starry sky and aurora Every colour and sound ever displayed Every rainbow and cloudscape we treasure Every...

He brought me to my knees
He brought me to my knees so I could see His face. As I fell on my knees, I got a view of His grace, and I knew I was in a good place. He called me by name and I responded with joy. It was then that my pain and hurt disappeared because I realised He...

Beauty with Poise
You're beautiful like no other, Your smile can melt the hardest stone, You were raised well by your mother, Good home training you've always shown. Many stars shine in night's vast sky, But none as bright as the dog star, With wisdom no one can decry, With joy no foe can ever mar. Joy not only shines on your face, It lights a beacon...

A protest of reclamation
The ground shakes in anticipation A wave of newfound hope sparks the attention Of surrounding people A march dedicated to the right of freedom Each step marks the ground of remembrance A permanent mark that refuses erasure The sound of revolution echoes in every building Voices that demand to be heard Voices that demand reperation Each chant an indictment Each sign...

The Eternal Dog
A dog is love. Love is a dog. You always love me. Of course, I love you, too. You run fast. Sometimes I miss you. But you always come back to me. I was so happy to see you! Recently, though, you haven't been able to run fast. I walk with you slowly. You stare at me. I stare at you, too. You want to run fast. I...

Let my ignorant bliss be - 2
I see Maya as a video game If its software gets decoded, No more a tiger, life looks cat-like tame If source code’s breached, its secret spread. By mere digits, by dots and dashes made, Innocence still’s no bliss, but shame, Where so knowledge burns bright if ignited, Fun fizzles out and life walks...

Let my ignorant bliss be - 1
When and if I wake up and see That life is not but illusion, World too is no more there for me, And there’s no more joy under sun. It is as if all props are out, Realities on my face stare, In awful doubt I show my pout, Where’s life’s thrill if wisdom’s laid bare? My...
