For your Himalayan Singing Bowl retreat stood neat.
For you gifted five eager souls, sheer enjoyable flight -
For your expense paid treat gave me first time visit,
And I, on friendly shores of my mother's birth, rejoiced.
Our aircraft desked in red, yellow, blue, and white,
The Island of Jamaica showered us with welcome signs.
Thank you!
St Ann's Bay of our stay showed prancing peacocks.
Qui gong on sculped lawn by the pool at dawn,
We stood adorned in soft white.
Such picturesque view of water, sky, and trees,
We savored graciously served meals.
Our Masseuse' full body massage floated me on a cloud,
Soon we enjoyed harmony of individual bowls -
You, "Mama T" patiently led us in symphony.
In stillness, we perked with treat of your lead bowl.
Thank you!
Bob Marley's mausoleum up at "9 Miles",
His humble childhood abode,
Ocho Rios, Dunns' River Falls,
Small colorful fishes swarming as we swam,
We basked in shade of tropic trees,
And we jet skied with warm breeze.
Such expense paid retreat remains neater than neat.
Thank you!
Returning to my quiet studio on Manhattan West,
I often envision the artist residing in you -
Such smooth share of therapeutic moments as gift,
Who would resist?
Bless you!

Sit with me by the fireplace…
I have a story to tell….
Of when I met all of Santa’s reindeer,
And I got to know them well.
Dasher was the social one,
The fastest of the herd.
He loved to party, all day and night.
That’s his statement, word for word.
Dancer had great dance moves,
And loved a celebration.
But what made him stand out, you ask?
His amazing hand-eye-foot coordination.
Prancer loved to bake,
You’d never see him with a frown,
And his favorite Christmas song?
“Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town”
Vixen was gifted at magic tricks,
And loved being the center of attention,
But he often ran late….
A flaw, he forgot to mention.
Comet was laid back,
And incredibly smart….
Always willing to lend a helping hand.
This reindeer has a big heart!
Cupid was so precious…
Didn’t like when her friends were sad,
She would sing “Joy to The World” several times,
Just to make the others mad!
Donner loved to sing,
He had an amazing voice.
For him to have all the ladies’ screaming….
“Santa Baby” was his choice.
Blitzen enjoyed Christmas movies,
In his spare time,
And you could catch him on stage with Donner,
As the two sang joyous rhymes.
And then, there’s Rudolph….
Well, you already know about him.
He was the one with the red nose,
And if you ever saw it….
Even you would say it glows.
So that’s my story of how I met them all,
Such a loving and humble bunch.
Oh, no! Good grief, I must go now!
They promised to take me to lunch!
Fabulous November is finally here
Where famous All Saints Day and All Souls Day
Carpeted the initial steps of this month’s stair
As huge banner of significant occasions flail
Lots of traditional and cultural celebrations
Are enjoyed--they’re big family events
Fabulous November invites us to cheer
For many month’s national and worldwide holidays
We celebrate to bring awareness to our health
Natural disasters and most of all to
Promote unity, peace, recognize the value of children
Men and women—they’re God’s precious gifts
Fabulous November coldness now I feel
As it intensifies, I will gladly prepare
The coming of Yuletide…the best season of the year
I’ll start hanging lanterns, colorful lights
Putting Christmas trees and start mailing cards
Always excited to see friends, family and the whole clan

I was watching my childhood
When I saw them playing
On a ground of new-felt joy
No restrictions and they were enjoying
Saw what I was a vollyball
Used as a basket one
They were enjoying the moment
And that was enough fun
I saw a group playing volley
They didn't know the rules
Neither they had the skills for it
And they didn't care less
Another group played, on the same ground
It was a handball, used differently
It was a game of catch
And they were so happy
One ball came to me
It missed my face though
Thought I could return it
Then remembered the past of mine
I ain't good at the sport myself
But surely more capable then them
Thought I could teach them some
Then remembered, my own childhood
I was like them, they're better though
Didn't know how to play, but wanted to
Didn't had the stamina, yet enjoyed the game
Didn't had any restrictions, never wanted one as well
Never wanted one to interfere
In the game I played with my friends
Never wanted one to lecture
In the game where fun never ends
I know they'll learn soon enough
And will cherish the memories as I do
Should I teach them today the game
And they'll never have the mistakes to do
Won't they enjoy the stupid actions
Never will experience those self made rules
They'll lose their childhood freedom
Which was beyond, those formal rules
Let them enjoy the way they do
I had my childhood, so they do
Let them create some memories too
Which they'll cherish, by seeing what I saw through
Mountain Top Lake
An enthusiastic team ventured to trek
on a stiff hill with loose rocks, stones, crater.
All were charmed to see the mountain top lake.
Tree top view showed clean clear blue water.
Lots of colorful fish swam gaily.
Exciting enchantment to climbers.
All enjoyed, took rest, chatted, walked freely.
Full relaxation by all team members.
Branches of trees swayed by sudden gust.
Little brittle ripples woke up in lake.
Blowing breeze chased dry leaves, pollen, dust.
The leader got up to arrange Tea-Break.
Flowers with wild fragrance nodded in joy.
Chirping birds, humming bees, howling creature.
Flora-Fauna around to enjoy.
On mountaintop displayed sounds of Nature.

MOUNTAINTOP LAKE Contest by Brenda Chiri
Ripples upon the water
Followed by a sudden splash
Out of the corner of my eye
All I saw was a shiny gray flash
Patiently waiting for it to emerge
So I can confirm just what I saw
Suspecting there was two of them
But wondering if there was more
Then just as before out of the water they shot
Twisting and diving back in
Making a noise almost a laugh
Around us they started to swim
Reaching out into the water
Wanting them to come up near
We patted their heads while they laughed at us
And we knew we had nothing to fear
They stayed and played with us for a while
Loving all of our attention
It was amazing to us just how much
These dolphins enjoyed the affection
Time passed and it's like they knew
It was time for them to go
So with a huge leap and wave of their tail
They swam away in the water below
As I was enjoying a breakfast smoothie on the porch the other morning
far from the distractions of TV, radio or cable
a singular daddy long legs joined me at our picnic table.
I am not an expert…not an arachnid authority or swami…
but from what little I know about daddy long legs…
this daddy was a mommy.
I imagine she’s seen me every morning at this table sitting here
and through her arachnid instincts knew there was nothing she need fear.
She crawled right up to where I sat…and I watched her from my seat
as she felt around the table for something she could eat.
I was impressed with how she moved…with such ease and grace and class
and I loved the way she inspected the smoothie in my glass
Next she walked across my crossword puzzle
and as I watched her my confidence was shaken…
when she pointed to 61 across and shook her head
as if my answer was mistaken.
And when I checked my answer…to her utter satisfaction and delight…
this long legged arachnid…to my dismay…was right!
So spent breakfast together…at the table…side by side…
I enjoyed my smoothie
while she continued finding whatever morsels our table would provide.
As the two of us enjoyed our breakfast…
and the sun continued to rise
I returned my attention to my crossword puzzle…
under mommy long legs watchful eyes.
I’m hoping she comes back tomorrow…
to offer her company and share a bite or two…
and I’m interested to see if she’s as good at Wordle
as she is with crosswords too.
Life is a saga of suffering
Selfishness stings
Harsh words hurt
Past pains pounds
Mind is miserable
Thoughts torment
Tears take a toll on you
Peace is lost
But life must be lead
Tasks to be finished
Crying hampers health,
How to be happy?
I finally found a simple solution
Complete concentration
At the task in front
Mind and senses at the moment
Observing, feeling, enjoying
No thoughts, no pain
Calmness, joy and bliss
Past is dead like previous births
Future an illusion
This moment in front
Waiting to be lived, enjoyed
To allow it to slip away in thoughts
Stupidity
Serving no purpose
A wonderful world waiting to be enjoyed
Enjoying it by living every moment fully
Permeates peace
Promotes joy.

For What Brings You Peace by Chantelle Anne Cooke
1st place
The bright sun chasing night awakes me with delight
Arising from my sleepy state is a terrible plight
Dragging forth to brush my tangled pressed down gray hair
Eyes barely open, stumble forth needing java juice and air
Turned on the computer to check emails and such
Drinking decaf coffee and answering emails but no rush
Breakfast soon was eaten devotion time swiftly spent
A few chores to straighten the house and even make a small dent
Bath time my daily spa, let the warmth penetrate
Dressed, ready to go ~let me face the day and not be late
A few errands need to be handled while in town
Lunch with my husband gives no reason to cause a frown
Grocery shopping to stock up on cleaning supplies and food
A task not really enjoyed but I let some joy exude
Afterwards I needed some rest and quiet time
Watching a movie that was not the best which was a crime
Facing the inevitable soon came to our life
Putting Cody on the Greyhound cut me like a sharp knife
Bedtime very late exhausted from the busy day
Tomorrow will be another list hopes of time to play

These past few months have brought change
during the covid-19 outbreak all over
some of these changes been good others bad
personally, it's been like a new pullover
Like any new garment, it smells so fresh
so this lockdown situation is so new
no need to rush about, having time to ponder
doing what you want to do even to chew
Being retired now for some years past
been doing my own thing has been neat
movement has been curtailed to get about
that's been a disadvantage not able to meet
Some plus marks I've really enjoyed
reading books and writing more by far
also, listen to my favourite music too
made this time quality far above par
Less cars road-bound means less pollution
noise reduction has meant all is quiet
but what was normal isn't anymore
will it be again? have we reached our share?
