“Musing about Memories”

Well, I love to travel
And to be more specific,
not every trip is pleasurable
I suppose you agree.
Some offer sweet memories
whereas some very dismal.
Some are bestowed with beauty
whereas some confer only knowledge,
in a journey on a flight or through a voyage.

But, behind every tour
I ought to undertake,
I make sure-
I prepare some time
to jot down what fascinated me,
The Most.
While something queer or
not easily remembered
would effortlessly catch my eye.
There, I would immediately
capture it, nonetheless
for the rest of my journey
it’ll be intriguing me unless
I discover something more exotic.

May it be an amusing show
or an antique piece in a museum
or the authentic food it serves
or the culture it presents
or an animal to illustrate
or a home of an author or
perhaps just a hill or a mountain
or maybe an art or an artist
performing to display,
or a variety of things
even the sky under a shade;
of a city or a village,
every small or big experience
seems very special to that place.

The forming of a bond
while it lasts,
in a photograph or in a memoir
had my musing in-
reminiscing long attachment
to every place I visited
where I chose a special
memory as worthy as I’ve made it:
To cherish for long years as,
an indestructible bond of
solidarity through travelling
from place to place.

Every journey becomes
a tale and in coming years
all the chronicles will turn into
lively motion picture
floating in the waves of ‘life’.
I am yet to be discovering
many unseen-unheard places
To be sure of one thing;
to carry my camera and
a notebook with a pen.
To fulfil every thirst of
making sweet connections
to people and places.

~an impromptu poem for #NaPoWriMo day 30

Prompt Day 30: https://www.napowrimo.net/day-thirty-8/

Today I choose to upload a poem I wrote for https://www.poemsindia.in/napowrimo‘s 11th day prompt : April 11th“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”

Ahh its the end of the marvelous month! Little did we think, how time flew by so quickly, everyone involved in writing and publishing poems on blogs, reading other poet’s musings, complimenting/criticising each other, sharing and encouraging their fellow participants everyday, on every amazing prompt by Maureen and and yet we are here on the last day. Thank you Maureen for having to organise an excellent event for a month and for gathering such a great audience, most beloved bloggers and poets from all over the globe and thank you for giving us this opportunity to meet these incredibly talented bunch of individuals! This was my first time and I have to say it was such a fun! To be honest I missed the first three days in the beginning of the month LOL but since the 4th day it was all like a responsibility, to wake up in the morning to check the website for the new prompt and later post a poem at the end of the day, a challenge we all did successfully I guess! Going to miss all of my fellow participants a.k.a all-time-supporters but hope we’ll meet next year on the same platform for spending another amazing, memorable time letting our creative juice flow into our masterpieces! Love you all, sending best wishes for the year ahead.

“Mångata”

One of the
celestial illuminous
organ that emits its own
light and is considered Earth’s
only natural satellite, is our beloved moon.
It’s glittery reflection on lofty waves of ocean
creates a sublime effect under the dark night sky,
something is bewitching with the orb of night, pleasing
panorama, emerging from horizon, sometime after the twilight,
shimmering moonlight falling into Earth’s crust, a delightful
exhilarating vantage point, that if anyone passes through the coastline,
it it obvious to easily get lured to gaze into that beautiful sight.

~an impromptu poem for #NaPoWriMo day 28

Prompt Day 28: Today’s prompt is to write a concrete poem. Like acrostic poems, concrete poems are a favorite for grade-school writing assignments, so this may not be your first time at the concrete-poem rodeo. In brief, a concrete poem is one in which the lines are shaped in a way that mimics the topic of the poem. For example, May Swenson’s poem “Women” mimics curves, reinforcing the poem’s references to motion, rocking horses, and even the shape of a woman’s body. George Starbuck’s “Sonnet in the Shape of a Potted Christmas Tree” is – you guessed it – a sonnet in the shape of a potted Christmas tree. Your concrete poem could be complexly-shaped, but relatively simple strategies can also be “concrete” —  like a poem involving a staircase where the length of the lines grows or shrinks over time, like an ascending (or descending) set of stairs. https://www.napowrimo.net/day-twenty-eight-8/

Mångata is a sweet word from Swedish language which means reflection of moon light on water. Defined by the Glosbe Swedish-English dictionary as ‘the roadlike reflection of moonlight on water‘, this word refers to the long, glimmering reflection of the moon on a (usually large) body of water, which resembles a shining street or road.

Thus, using this beautiful term my concrete form of poetry has been done. Just like the reflection on waves of water creates a ravishing scene, whether in ocean or pond or any other water bodies, I used the description to create my poem and it was quite fun! Just a minor inconvenience due to the alignment of texts, but it is somewhat like the waves of ocean I suppose. Do let me know your thoughts on this.

BLOGGER RECOGNITION AWARD

I feel so honoured plus happy to inform you that I have been nominated by my fellow blogger for THE BLOGGER RECOGNITION AWARD. First of all, Thank you Asra for nominating me! She possess the key of knowledge, hence I got a fantastic chance to meet this wonderful girl here…. Do check out her account- https://isasra.wordpress.com/



The Rules:

  1. Thank the blogger that nominated you and give a link to their site.
  2. Do a post to show your award.
  3. Give a summary of how your blog started.
  4. Give two pieces of advice for any new bloggers.
  5. Select at least 15 other bloggers for this award.
  6. Let each nominee know you’ve nominated them and give a link to your post.

Summary of how my blog started

I was interested in doing stuff like writing short essays, non-fictions, fictions as well, diary entries, poems and that too when I am in a different mood! For an instance, I felt pity for myself at times when I am upset or feeling gloomy throughout the day, so basically when I m shattered, I use to write in my diaries expressing what made me sad! Since then, I found that I can write pretty well in moments when I am emotional or depressed, and I started sharing this feeling through writing, and words could touch emotions, somewhat craving the impalpable yet irresistible affection for myself. And at the same time, people started to appreciate my work when it was published in different platforms and then I started Blogging!

Without the support of my friends maybe, I would have never reach out till here! They encouraged me and I didn’t give up! I tried my best and here I am, an influential, accomplished sophisticated woman! Well, miles to go to become successful! This journey never ends, and I am enjoying through this blogging adventure……

My advice for new bloggers

I was about to launch a new blog post, specially for new bloggers and for some solitary bloggers who are unable to show their talents because, its a scarcity of readers and followers, hence a few likes and almost making an empty train… I tried my best to encourage them, but I thought maybe my little blogging can help them grow better! And this is the wonderful time to have a blast, enjoying the happiest moments!!! That post is on processing, yet to complete!

Don’t you lose hope, dearie! Well, it needs some time in WordPress but when you are once exposed to a social media, people will come to know about you and you might not be the center of attention but don’t worry, express the best of you through your talent and Create an impact through your blogs!

Don’t hesitate to put a like and comment on your fellow blogger’s posts after reading their posts and of course good deeds are favourable for you cause you may get back in return, yes, Blessings indeed!

I have met so many bloggers here and also interacted through conversations so yeah I came to know lot more about their journey, and I found out a common cause of leaving WordPress and deleting accounts from here, and the CAUSE of doing these is- No Readers, No Followers!

This is my humble request to all the bloggers, Please encourage our fellow bloggers, we have so many young and amazing writers here, do check out their accounts and APPRECIATE, ENCOURAGE, READ THEIR POSTS, SHOW SOME LOVE!
