Woman

Who has ever understood a woman?
Neither her creator nor her admirer
She is a mystery herself
Sometimes as wife, sometimes mother

On her shoulders,
She carries her family's burden
With lots of courage and confidence,
She can turn any place into a garden

Mother, wife, sister or daughter
Her every role adds color to our lives
Be it Home, Business, sports or entertainment
She is successful wherever she thrives

Amelia Earhart , Mother Teresa, Sunita Williams and Cleopatra
Are just some examples of what women can achieve
Every woman is special in someway or the other
They really define the way to live

No praises can ever
Complete the definition of a woman
She cannot be described in words
She is a really special human


Premium Member Without the Soup

Without the Soup,
My skies would be grey,
The sun wouldn't shine,
I'd wither away.

Without the Soup,
With its comments and contests,
There would be no challenge,
No striving for success.

Without the Soup,
My doubts would climb.
I'd lose confidence
In my writing and rhyme.

Without the Soup,
I'd be lost and alone,
Especially after
The friendship you've shown.

From all over the world,
We have come together,
A variety of poets,
Talented and clever.

I don't want to think about
Not having the Soup.
I'm just grateful I found you.
You're a wonderful group.

“If you look closely you can see that they are all interconnected, symbolic of a never-ending circle in which it is simply impossible for the dog to catch the rabbit.” — Kit Williams


                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Witness divine—glorious wonders for mankind.
Magnificent sky with swirling clouds that hide.
Sunbeams brilliantly—brightening the earth.
Moon warms the farmland for a night's worth.

Witness the power of the jewels' harmless light. 
Satin fuchsia flower buds sparkle at first sight.
From pristine spot—amethyst wishes may sprout. 
I wish to acquire beyond halcyon hues of stout.

In symphony, raindrops adorn and stifle the land.
Winter flakes coat the land and expand.
Nature's lyrics are in varied and tidy dimensions.
Calm woods, singing brooks, swift river distention.

Cherish dear pets, nature, birds, and seafood.
God's riches are bestowed nearby and cooed.
This life is knit with family, love, zeal, and friends.
We suffer agony and adore food, but not fiends.

With a sight of ethereal happiness.
look deeply and faithfully with sappiness.
To prevent overlooking anything crucial.
Reached elixir peaks—won a prize celestial.

Look through a veil of belief, full of hope.
A peek at divine glow and limitless scope.
It's awe-inspiring getting close to nightfall.
Strive for success—and never let yourself fall.

Look at the rain cloud—raindrops might fall.
But beyond, light radiates out from its crawl.
Witness the butterfly—which is truly rare.
Bear note of its progress as it climbed in the air.

In Stygian hues, we sank over brink of death.
A supple poise, a tale of dichotomy, an eerie lethe.
It is a timeless being—never altering itself in light.
Disease, warfare, belief, and culture sham sight.

Behold a charming face adorned with a smile.
Then delve inwardly—descry heart beguile.
It is akin to a dawn breaking on the horizon.
Time is never idle for anyone, wax or wizen.

Rising costs and overworked staff members.
Stretch your horizons—discover raw tempers.
Judges' words rang out in a split legal system: "Jail!"
Marvel at ethereal entities veiled by mortal trails.

ALOUETTE

ALOUETTE

A tremulous violin rises into the sky
Leaving its thoughtful melodic trail
Faint echoes of English countryside
And for this listener, evoking pride
The lark still ascending, tells its tale
We’re left in tears and all know why

As I experience the Lark Ascending
A haunting, evocative arrangement
Describing a gentle fluttering of wings
The emotions that the melody brings
Wistful and feeling such contentment
The mood lingers with its soft ending

Early twentieth century composition
In some ways reflecting an innocence
With nature captured in that melody
Springtime fields, and life feeling free
That piece of work made such sense
Ralph Vaughan Williams’ true vision

Premium Member Free Collaboration With Maria Williams

An eagle spirit conquers storms of adversity,
like a silent soul floats amongst the sky's artistry.
Soaring higher, ascending further from perception,
free from judgemental realities of deception.

Through silver rippled clouds glimpses of sun’s projection,
people- hills and streams merely blurred hued perfection.
Cocooned in tranquillity - brightly scintillating,
elevated flow of peace astral souls stimulating.

Drifting like peaceful streams, formless in spirituality,
floating nonchalantly lured by the moon's hospitality.
Stars illuminate creating the path's foundations,
soul ascends carefree from a life of tribulations.

Swathe in crystalline warmth of a galactic revelation,
merging with the Universe in its empyrean constellation.
Released from worldly strife in its final aspirations,
soul reaches joyous heights in its heavenly inspirations

Williams Since 1066

First a quick word on Robert the Devil,
whose turbulent  life turned out quite a revel.
He fathered a child on a poor tanner's daughter
then dashed to repent in Jerusalem's quarter,
but on his return, sad to say, he died,
yet he set up his son, his only pride.
Though being dubbed "bastard" earned him rebuke
Son William became a very tough duke,
as shown by the fact he became England's king
on Christmas Day when the church bells did ring.
Poor England he ruled with a grim  iron rod.
He harried the North like a merciless god.
To gauge England's wealth great pains he took,
which to prove I name the Doomsday Book.
Once  his horse took fright  in a fiery melee
and part of his saddle punctured his belly.
After this mishap he did not live long.
When his belly burst, oh what a pong!
The monks in Rouen cut his funeral short,
when  incense galore  no remedy brought.
Then his son William Rufus ascended the throne.
To wild fits and frenzy this redhead was prone.
He found city life somewhat too narrow.
Out riding one day, he was struck by an arrow.

Many hard battles King Billy fought
ere he fell from his horse at Hampton Court.
No enemy's musket laid him low,
no cannon ball , no swordsman's blow.
A hoof of his horse got caught in a hole,
the work of a lowly burrowing mole.
On the Emerald  Isle some raise a toast
to this  notable victory of the least o'er the most

William the Fourth died in his bed,
which somehow fitted the life he had led.
He had multiple children but not with his wife.
Exemplary no way  was King William's life.

When in time a new William mounts Britain’s throne
may he shun the errors to which others were prone,
avoiding pitfalls and fierce martial strife,
and every enticement to stray from his wife.

Resilient Joy :Get Your Bounce Back

for 10 seconds Serena Williams danced
the Crypt walk at the Super Bowl
and because of those ten seconds
the world completely lost control
In 2012 she also danced after
her London tennis championship win
yet the world's perception of that
produced a negative spin
how dare this Black woman
dominate their sport? 
how dare this Black woman
dance on their tennis court?

resilience in our joy is what
Black women are all about
we may fall down but we bounce back
with nary a doubt
for our resilience grows out of
our challenges, disappointments and pain
our ability to bounce back 
is how we have sustained
somehow, some way we will always
show up and show out
for in our resilience and in our resistance 
any situation we will surmount

after fleeing from the Egyptian pharaoh 
Miriam and her sisters danced for joy
their resilience and resistance in their oppression 
kept their spirits from being destroyed 
as women have been resilient 
since the beginning of time
because our strength of character and adaptability 
gives us the fortitude to perpetually climb
out of life's pits of despair and abysses of hell
women keep on bouncing back
as the joy in us continuously swells

we got biblical joy that allows us to rejoice
and be a joy to God
which gives us our resilience 
and the strength of heart
for it is in the presence of God where we find 
healing and comfort for our souls
where we get a fullness of spirit
that makes us joyful and whole 

we get resilience in our dancing
which is the embodiment of true joy
because dancing releases endorphins 
our pleasure hormones get deployed
we get resilience in community 
because as women we move in unity
we find our joy in our sisterhood as our strength 
in each other manifests communally

transformative resilience allows us
to bounce forward and not bounce backward in life
as we move in resistance with persistence
wielding our Spirit of the Sword  in the name of Christ
no longer will we be reluctant to show the world
our Blackity-Black 
for we are women with a resilient joy
and we got our godly bounce back

Yes, we are the future,
We’re of a new age;
