A little gal from India I hope you all have met.
Nonetheless, please meet her soon if you haven’t yet!
A mother, poetess, and wife - she came to Soup one day.
Now it’s been a bit more than a year.
Growing her talent, she is here to stay,
Earning the respect of every poet peer.
Lovingly she labors to create her art.
Anitha is the name of this poetess.
Many are her attributes. She gives her heart,
Offering kind remarks – our souls to bless.
Naturally friendly and wise is she -
Gifted, gracious, generous and good.
Unending may my bond with “Ani” be,
Sharing in the fruits of a sweet sisterhood.

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry."
— Mary Oliver
double acrostic
Poetry shakes me, wakes me up.
Other poets open my mind to
Endless layers of reality and enable
Me to thrive in this special realm.
Sharing through poetry helps
Me know myself and others better. When I’m
Yearning to describe honestly my
Mindsets, whether stormy or calm,
I find that reading poetry provides stimuli,
Readies me for each expressive endeavor,
Reminding me that poetry is like a mirror,
Offering the reflection of one who
Realizes words possess inestimable power
Such potential for enhancing our lives!
When it all came down I lost my mind
Bit by bit I became hard to find
But like a phoenix from the ashes I rise
I'm proud to say I survived
These past 8 months were trying times
I sat in bed and wrote these rhymes
I never knew what was coming next
What was yet to happen was anyone's guess
I went to the nut house twice in all
To be sane again was all I lived for
On my darkness days I made plans
I wanted to go and meet the “big boss man”
Everyone around me suffered too
Little by little they all knew
Knew my darkest secrets and tricks
Knew all the things that made me tick.
But I wasn't ashamed its who I am
It was finally out, it wasn't a scam
Eventually I began to heal
But what happened next…believe me is real
A knock on the door one Sunday morning
3 detectives with badges…there was my warning
They took me away in a little silver car
Arrested for what? I didn't know thus far…
They gave me a cell and made me answer some questions
They let me go on bail, no charges or restrictions
“Surrender here in one months time
And we’ll decide your fate and crime”.
The first week was hard as hell,
I knew I couldn't spend my life in a cell
So my suicide plans began again
A Stanley knife and pills would become my friend
Week 2 I lost the will to speak
I couldn't even sleep or eat
Benzos were what the doctor ordered
A Benzo high to fix my disorder
Week 3 is where this picks up
7 days till judgement…I know it sucks
Humming and haring about what to do
Should I Die now or see it through?
Then at 12 by phone did ring
“Hello Ms Dhillon I have some news,
Please sit down while I talk you through,
I know this will be of interest to you”.
“There are no charges to be had
You’re a free women now don’t despair,
I know this fear was hard to bear
But its over now, no need to be scared”.
I sat and I just cried and cried
I now no longer had to die
I knew that I could finally sleep
And slowly all my dreams I could reap
Off to the pub, there were drinks to be had
I am no longer feeling sad
It was relief for all, that much is true
But it was my victory, and it was sweet!
I guess what I'm saying is there's always ways
Ways to keep from going insane
I wouldn't of believed it yesterday either
But today I'm living proof.... it sure does pay to be a believer!
Living every day, wondering why I stay,
never really knowing why I’m here.
Singing every song, always going wrong,
feeling like I always live in fear.
Hating what I see, wanting more to be
something that I know I can become.
Searching for a way, waiting for the day,
hoping that the truth will finally come.
I’ve heard it time and time again
but never let it sit -
“you have to give in order to receive.”
Considering how my life has gone,
I’m left to look inside
and face the question, “do you dare believe?”
Fearing what will come, afraid of looking dumb,
wondering what my peers are gonna think.
Falling when I try, looking to the sky,
slipping ever closer to the brink.
Holding what I can, leaning on the man,
learning things that open up my eyes.
Looking at myself, the baggage on the shelf,
seeing there’s no room for compromise.
And so I hear it once again,
this time I let it sit -
“you have to give in order to receive.”
Considering what the future holds,
I’ve nothing left to do
but face the question, “do you dare believe?”
Not caring anymore. I’m walking out the door,
placing both my feet upon the trail.
Never looking back, no thought of what I lack,
believing with the Lord I’ll never fail.
Watching it unfold, a story to be told,
Doing what it takes to help a friend.
Walking hand in hand, fulfilling what was planned,
knowing what awaits me in the end.
But looking out across it all,
I’m glad I let it sit -
“you have to give in order to receive.”
Cause when you do, you're not alone
he’s always got your back.
And so I ask you, “do you dare believe?”
Dear Lord
I turn to you today
to take all theese emotions and feelings away
I have liked a guy for sometime
and thought in your time all things would be fine
he still is huming and haring
and is still unsure what to do
so Lord I turn it all over to you
I carnt keep going on like this one minute hes talking to me
then he is not
it's time to move on and time for this guy I forgot
I know you asked me to wait a while
but it is dragging me down and taking away my smile
I have tried to be a good friend and always have been there
but is still as if he just does not care
I carn't stay in this situation there is nothing left I can do
but Dear Lord
I turn it all over to you
I will focous on what lies ahead
and focous all my love and energys on you instead
I Love you Lord with all my heart and there is no doubt
I know this guy I can live without
you are first in my heart Lord now and ever
you love me always and will leave me never
so hear my plea as I pray
I am sory Lord but from this situation i now have to walk away Amen
Masses of creamy clouds give me pause, in sweetest summer,
as they drift away like honey dreams, in lazy days of slumber.
Radiant, world class travelers, changing colors like sun jewels,
sharing secrets, like winking stars, in mystic, creeping rituals.
Here today, gone tomorrow, like pink dragonfly, gilded by sun.
Maybe faces will soon be imagined, in forms, so like gold, spun.
Always they seem very near, from green mountaintop so lofty,
letting one have a glimpse of heaven, while enjoying a coffee.
Lavender and lace is oft seen at even, floating off to nowhere,
or perhaps to rest in mysterious, gemmed bedrooms in the air.
White, cotton candy afternoon cloud, very puffy, is such a softy!
Caramel clouds of chocolate sunrise, awaiting a turquoise hour,
looming over burnt earth forever, dancing with colored flowers!
Oppressive at times, when angry, yet making up with rainbows,
utterly beautiful, silvery and rosy, like crescent moon, up close.
Directionless, like rambling, mauve rose, blind to joy she elicits.
So often racy, an adventurous spirit, she douses gold narcissus.
Joyfully serving my Lord, Christ Jesus
Empowered by the Holy Spirit with love’s earnest
Nourished is my soul by His Word’s nurture
Nestling in His care day and night…
Ready is my faith toward rejuvenating revival
Optimizing His offered stewardship opportunities
Secured in His salvation for steadfast Gospel sharing
Enabled in the ministry toward reaching-out effectiveness.
God I praise and thank for His gracious goodness
Exposing my heart His wondrous of great excellence
Never leaving nor forsaking me; neglecting not my needs
Instructing me with His truths of inspiration
Taking me to triumph as I worship Him with thanksgiving
Affirming His presence, always marvellous* through His precious assurance.
*Psalm 98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Sponsored by Anoucheka Gangabissoon; judged on 4/15/2023.
Indeed blest to do well with zest
Nourished beyond existence-best
Delighting in pursuing sublime quest
Endeavoring for joyous victorious crest
Exercising faith, vanquishing doubt’s pest
Dear heart of mine dwells serenely in God’s nest.
Blooming despite barrenness’ test
Lovely while looking graciously dressed
Exuberant every day, gratitude is expressed
Sharing gifts of mercy and peace toward the rest
Triumphant* life keeps on reaching-out, indeed blest.
*2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Rarely not windy
In the far flung
Squarely unfairly unsung
Seriously deliriously magical
Mystical..mythical Catlins
Rather adept at being
Scarily palaver kept..
Wild & warily windswept
Gusts crept not
Slowing then leapt
Boom & bust thrust lust
Not caring us despairing
Sussed trussed trees cussed
Unruly unjust showing growing
Glaring..nonplussed
Haring..not fussed
Duly well &
Truly cruelly blowing
A helluva Hooley
Mean flurry of almost obscene
Breeze seems in no hurry to ease.
Smashed...whacked...bashed.. smacked
Lashed...by gusting...busting galloping gales
Never fails to leave me blustered and flustered
Lolloping..at the end of my tether
Amazed by crazed walloping weather
Raised & mustered
Brazen Mother Nature dolloping
All turned to custard
Surely they will pass...these fast blasts can't last
No need to be cryptic..it's almost apocalyptic
Have we sinned against the god of wind
Feel the real deal glee of Taw Fee Ree (Maori God of Wind)
Maybe he might hear me...respond to this plea...
Help our plight...let us alight from
The fight against the fright
Flight of breezy bite blight..
Just some respite
But it is quite a sight
Wild fling..Aotearoa spring can bring..
Darkness & light
Centre staging..in the raging...roaring..rampaging forties
No point deploring..knocking..ignoring
Shocking haughty windy warlocks
Soaring..scoring..rocking the joint
Warring.. doing their naughty thing
