What’s In Your Secret Box?…

February 17, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha19 Comments

Shall I peek into your secret box
And sniff around like a little fox
What are those bones
And these mill stones
That drags you down
And makes you frown

Shall I peek into your secret box
Oh my it has too many locks
Will I find rainbow dust
Or a witch with a fiery gust
Be it Ogre with a wicked temper
Or Prince who knows how to whimper

What’s in your secret box
Please do tell
I shan’t ring the bell
And if you tell
You won’t go to hell.

P.S. My dear WP, this is an evasive poem written in avoidance of your nosy self 😉

What’s the most significant secret you’ve ever kept? Did the truth ever come out?

A Must Read Tag-along Poem Cooked By All Of Us… Tuesday Trivia

Her eyes shone with tears

That clung to her lashes

She glanced at the ring

It’s twinkles brought back flashes

Seeking you first

She knew in her heart,

she’d never forget this day.

The emotions she felt,

overwhelming- in a way.

Gradmama

–blue shoes and sashes

Melinda Kucsera

she knew where the stash is–

of chocolates liquor splashed,

frosted with white slashes…

Elihu

Memories were there

Of Love and of laughter

A future there too

Of happily ever after

Oba Kingsoracle

At last, he said it

It seemed like forever

But here and now

Her heart for him to keep

Forever.

Writersdream9

She was anticipating all the joy he would bring

Sarah C

As the band struck a tune….

was it too soon?

the cat crossed their path quickly

And then it was time for giggling

Noirfifre

She spent all that time, years

she would never see those crashes

in trust, it is time to sell that bling.

Mandibelle

He’d bought such a rock,

She couldn’t conceive,

It was bought with his love,

In his love, she believed.

Hubby1974

The really special thing

About our love is this

When your not in my arms

Your pheromones I constantly miss!

Elizabeth Zertuche

Of when they first met

Now seen through the years

amcglasson

The midnight sea glistened

With the moon’s tender touch

Bated breath he listened

He wanted her so much

Deb

Of first dates and kisses

The movies and dances

Writing Mr. & Mrs.

And lifetime romances

Dreamer of Dreams

A lover, a tryst,

A melding of hearts

An evening of mist

And now, they’re apart.

What Sandra thinks

I’ve missed you, my dear

My arms have been lonely

Come home to me, love

You’re my one and only

Lulu

“Flashbacks are scary,

they signal PTSD,

so she knew in a moment

she really must flee.”

Joy indestructible

She heard the song he loved to sing

Salty tears to clean heart’s slashes

Waiting for a new day life to bring

Hope to resolve all angry clashes

Bitter Sweet

She remembered the past,

As she stood there is her gown.

They has been thru so much,

Thru the ups and downs

Blogging to Nature #3…

February 14, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha10 Comments

Except your blog is a hot house plant,

That needs to be kept indoors

Pampered and molly-coddled

Then you can remain hidden in the dark

However, if you want to be a hardy planted blog

You need to get out into the sunny side

Of meeting others

So that you don’t

Suffer stunted growth.

*******An opportunity presents itself through this party link. It’s hopping in here.

You Are Banished! Go To Your Room 101!…Ranting

February 9, 2016February 9, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha22 Comments

What a delightful way to cast my baleful eyes and vent at some poorly behaved humans while having fun doing it as well.

Thank you my dear Amanpan for your generous invitation.

Now, I don’t have to feel bad for using my imperial power of thinking to banish some people 😉

Here are my nominees:

I have a tidy list of offenders that I would like to banish to their room, but I will just stick to five as specified.

That ungentlemanly behaved fellow that traveled up the 43rd floor with me, on a lift that stopped on every floor. He was ‘Chewing gum so loudly’ and blowing the bubbles like a total ass. I love to chew gum but not in a clackety clack manner, right in someone’s face. I felt like taking the gum and sealing his lips for just a few seconds, but only managed to give him a malevolent look 😉

Loud phone calls in public. I love people watching quite alright and eavesdropping occasionally, but for the life of me, I don’t want to know everything about your life that you must have your entire conversation right in my ears in your loud voice. Save the quarrel for when you get home or wherever it is. I sat in the bus beside a lady and my bus ride which was taken as a pleasure to Deira market turned into a cacophony of hisses and heated argument of a lady and whoever it was at the other end for a whole 45 minutes and unfortunately, I did not have my headphones with me.

Can you make up your mind? Keeping everyone else waiting while you dash off to get the tomatoes, then the milk, then the stick of butter, then a loaf of bread. Geez! Make a shopping list please.

The man blocking the plane aisle with his over-sized carry on which cannot fit and we all have to queue behind him whilst he tries to squash it in by force, with all the extras that he has as well. What happened to checking it in?

I know it seems the in-thing these days, but for the love of heaven, can that lady with the need to show some extra cleavage cover up a bit more of those mammary glands and young man, by the way, I don’t think I want to see your butt-crack either. Thank you very much.

I would have loved to continue, but I have to stop now. That guy that leaves his sweat all over the machines in the gym drives me crazy 😉

Here are the rules:

Thank the blogger that nominated you.
Award 5 bloggers who fascinate, intrigue or tickle your curiosity with the Room 101 (award) badge logo on their About pages and linking to them in your post.
Tell us the 5 things you would banish to Room 101!
Attach these rules to your post.
Grab your badge above and enjoy adding it to your trophy case, but please be respectful of the creator of the award by never altering the logo and never changing the rules.

Enjoy the rant.
