Bud’s Of Spring… A collaboration..

March 24, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha45 Comments

Buds of Spring

Georgette looks out of the window Mourning, Tears, Depression, Cry, Woman, Sad, Human

The cold is fast thawing out and little fresh sprigs are sprouting.

It should be warm soon

Yet the coldness in her heart did not match the liveliness of the budding Spring

Her heart feels like a ghost town.

Where is he?

He promised her everything and she believed in him…

Counting the days and hoping that it’s just a dream.

A COOKING POT AND TWISTED TALES

*********

She wallowed, has winter turned to spring.

Georgette thought about him all the time,

In her mind she went over, all the special times they shared together.

By her pillow she kept, the last shirt he had worn,

It still smelled like him, and made her want him more.

Would he keep his promise and return,

Or would spring arrive everywhere but in her heart. MANDIBELLE

*********

From the heart’s wreckage

springs hope, a bloom delivered

“Miss you” scrawled on note

not forgotten yet

not this Georgette, rose in hand

sweet perfume in nose

Wait until summer

search for him in heat shimmers

raising wavy hopes… MELINDA KUCSERA

*********

Georgette sat wistfully looking out her window.

The sun was shining. The birds were tweeting, prancing, dancing and courting.

Large, colourful butterflies performed a graceful aerial ballet whiles the bees supped nectar and collected pollen.

The soft breeze ruffled the lush new green leaves in the trees.

It looked so serene and peaceful. Everywhere but in her heart. It was barren.SOUL GIFTS

**********

Please can someone help bail Georgette out?

We can’t let her heart languish in a barren state 😉

Feel free to add your contribution and the collabo will continue if you do.

Nerves of Steel…

March 23, 2016May 22, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha28 Comments

Our nerves are stretched and frayed
And yes, we champ at our bits by it all
At the spate of hateful and violent attacks
Rocking the World to minutes of silence
…and viral hashtags

How can we condone this?
How can we continue like this?
What kind of horrible lives these people must live.
To harbour souls so embittered?
…and nerves made of steel.

Complete sensitivity is lost to other peoples’ lives
There are hardly words to explain such horror
And the damage that hate can do
As yet again, we are shocked from lulled senses
…and all I ask is when? When will it come to an end?

Locomotion’s…

March 23, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha21 Comments

Watching people is totally a favourite sport, so it’s no hardship taking photos of their movement.

I can actually sit and count how many men who strolled past in a suit, or tie, or whatever catches my fancy at that point in time. It’s total fun I tell you and if your eyes are keen enough sometimes, you are rewarded with something to smile about.

I was out all day and there’s no time to simulate night movement, so between the gym, school, grabbing a bite at the mall, I think I managed to get some blurry movement shots for today’s Photo 101 theme ‘moment and motion.’

Human Bots In The Midst Of The Dirty Spam Bots!

March 23, 2016March 23, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha17 Comments

I have a full spam box and decided to slowly weed through and sift with a fine tooth comb, because I have actually unknowingly weeded out a lot of good comments with the load of rubbish before, so I was being careful this time, though it was quite lengthy.

Amidst the offer for watermelon flavoured Viagra, several trolls, crazy offers and all manners of Chinese writing that I couldn’t make out what on earth it was saying, I saw YOU, YOU, YOU AND YOU

I wonder what is going on and why I have lots of decent humans mingled with trashy bots 😐😕?

Apologies if you sent comments and didn’t hear from me.

I am in the process of disentangling you from the weedy trash 😉

I was of the good mind to chew WordPress’s ears, but changed it quickly because I don’t want them to let some mad dogs out of the spam cage and into my arena.

P. S. Did I ever tell you about my green, Johnny just come, new-beginner days when I was responding to comments from bots? Ah!! I guess that’s a story for another day 🙂

My regards,

Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha

Midnight Motivations and Musings 37…

March 22, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha22 Comments

This predicament of complacency and arrogance happens and manifests in so many aspects of our lives very easily.

That tendency to feel comfortable, not wanting to rock the boat and just go with the flow once we’ve carved a sweet niche leads us down this track.

We can be contented with what we have and yet strive to keep improving our lot, because life itself is a consistent flow that does not stagnate.

The tendency to also grow arrogant and superior, once we start having that sense of accomplishment is also a penchant that easily sneaks in.

We should remember and strive to keep our heads bowed in humility, even as we stand tall in confidence.
