• Nature, heals all!

  

  My mind a blank slate, My heart, a placid state, I wake up, at the break of dawn, The pillows still damp, I gently tip-toe…   The sound of the ocean beckons, A  drizzle; my drowsy eye awakens, The waves rising, falling, and rise again- I stand still, in awe, at the shores…   The…

• Daily Prompt: Retreat

  

  via Daily Prompt: Retreat I tried to be friendly, I tried to  show empathy, But you only opened my deepest wounds; And I had to retreat! You say I am always talking, You say you are always listening, But it was you I was entertaining; And again I had to retreat! You never tried once…

• The Speaker’s Ordeal…

  

  via Daily Prompt: Dilemma This poem is for anybody frightened of public speaking. Preparation, Practise, Perseverance is what all good speakers do. You can too!!!   The room is full, the lights are bright, A silence, like the dead of night, They gauge me with piercing eyes, A cough here, a sneeze there, the shuffling of…
