my mother thought me poetry unfortunately, fortunately
with less words risen are the river's current melody in minnow's swimming hollow that's able to hallow climax of a cliche film xerophile for desert's scene...

Premium Member ECHOES PIERCE THE SILENCE
ECHOES PIERCE THE SILENCE* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I open the sewing basket, letting my eyes and hands run over the tools she had used—the scissors, the darning egg, the pinking shears, the pins, the tattered, tomato-shaped pincushion, and spools of thread. I gaze at the metal spool-shaped bobbins remembering how, as a small child, I flushed them down...

Sleep Well Mama
Mama, why is it that you can't sleep well? Do you have insomnia coming on? What's keeping you up even though you're tired? Your husband who watches television half the day,  Your adult child who is packing up and moving away, Your young hyperactive child who likes to play, play, play, The ever present clutter all throughout the house, You set up...

Wife and Mother
I feel too overwhelmed. I feel like a thousand hands have touched me. I can't give anymore. Is it the lack of privacy? Is it the constant need of nurturing? My mind is screaming. Stop touching me. Stop talking to me. My body, mind, and soul are overwhelmed. Everyone wants something from me. Everyone wants my attention...

Brown Eyes
Reminiscent of a doe with a hue as rich as earth, your gaze takes me home to a cedar-filled hearth. Welcoming like hot chocolate and as vibrant as autumn's leaves, your stare carries the life that Mother Nature herself weaves. Neutral, yet expressive— as versatile as leather, but still so alive— your eyes are the gemstones favored by the sun and I alike....

Premium Member Weathered Hands Are Beautiful
This scene occurred just days before she died. Somehow I made it through before I cried. While pale and weak, eyes closed, in bed she lay, I thought of all the things I longed to say. I whispered “Beautiful" and kissed each hand. Confused, Mom said, "What? I don’t understand.” “Your HANDS,” I said. She answered, “They’re worn out and wrinkled. That’s...

Tiranga in the Sky
Tiranga in the Sky By Amanah Imtiaz Kazi 8F I see you, India bold and bright, In every spark of morning light. Not just in books or words we say, But in our hearts, you live each day. You're more than stories we were told, Of battles fought and courage bold. You rise with dreams in every face, With every fight for truth and...
