FLOWERS DIFFER Flowers, like people, are so different. The tight budded rose is content To withhold its scent and smile For quite a little while. The jasmine has no such restraint, Its fragrance is immediately spent.

The Well of Silence Words go down the well of silence As does all other sound. Thoughts, private and dense Surround it, feelings abound. The well of silence is a friend A vault I keep my treasures in Into which I delve no end For words to match my thoughts within.

Pleeease wait for me! I'll be able to find some time in a day to write something!

Cough..cough, just finished dusting shelf loads of books, some of them older than me 'cause they belonged to my father.

Thanks. I need a whole lot of luck for these and the ones that are closely following. The poor things have been locked up for a very long time. Some of the stories I will bring on kindle are from yellowing pages; I had written them years ago. Others have moved from floppies and CDs to Pen...

Self-promoting is definitely shameless. I have already promoted three books in so many months: 1.The Vigil and Other Stories (Paperback publication by a publisher). 2.King Neptune's Delite (Kindle e book) 3.Dearie the Deer (Kindle e book). Since Dearie the Deer, I have self published three...

Beautiful. Heartfelt.

No problem. I have learnt a lot from your posts. I do not possess a formal education in English Literature( I studied mathematics), so it was a revelation to learn there are so many different forms in poetry. I'm finding it interesting and may explore at least some forms though it is unlikely I...

Great way to start! Loved the story and the witty lines. I may have to give this exercise a pass for a couple of weeks but will definitely come back. Actually, I think it would be a nice idea to continue the old thread. If we don't, it is bound to die out and new members will not get to read...

Whoa! I thought your idea was to have some other member pick the topic :D How about extending it for picking a picture from Random images thread?

I like the idea of using a picture from the Random Image Thread because 1. Most of the pictures are quite 'telling'. 2. In a way, this thread will be the reverse of the BAR Photography challenge wherein the topic is based on book titles. However, instead of choosing any image, I think...

SUNFLOWER The sunflower in the garden looked me in the eye, and gave me sunny smiles. It knows since its days in Eden it’s destined to be a ‘smilie’:), no matter where it grows.

Do you check out the forums every now and then? Do you create reasons to do you so? More important, do you get irritable when someone / something prevents you from getting a quick 'lookie'? Confession time....

May's Flowers : Relaxed and Pleasant.

Talk about beginners luck! Trying my hand at verse was just a gamble! A chance I took of either falling flat on my face or stringing together a few readable lines. But you, my friend, are a fount of knowledge and are skilled in the art of teaching. I think you are a teacher by profession but...

Mera Bharat Mahaan! Where else?

Very good! Enjoyed the tall tale!

Welcome, Pal.

The shoe fits...with a pinch.....hence the outpouring.
