Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
Mama said to me, baby,
this life is a marketplace
filled with useful and useless goods,
what you fill your basket with
determines how profitable you’ll be
at the end of your purchases.

Planting and watering little seeds
of positivity
in the lives of others
ensures that
my basket of harvest
is equally full of positivity

Mama said to me, baby,
if you try to move forward
and it fails to work
Why not use the reverse
to get yourself
out of that spot?

An excerpt from my work-in-progress.

you say that you love me,
i doubt it
‘cos your heart
is so barren
that nothing fruitful
but hate grows in there
you say that you love me,
i wonder how
‘cos you treat yourself
with such self-hatred;
and no one can find love
where hate inhabits

We learn by imitation
from the time we are conceived
to the time we die
we recite our words and thoughts
and in most cases
these things frame our lives
Most take on the whispers
that has floated into their ears
as a guiding principle for their lives
and when those whispers
are the drippings of a venomous mind
what happens to the child being fed?
Whose recital are you listening to?

Be open to writing other things besides novels. It’s interesting to read and listen to some writers whose basis for measuring other writers’ writing career depends on published novels while leaving novellas, short stories and poetry behind for those whom they term ‘amateur writers.’

Lovely prompt ‘hope & stay,’ from Ronovan for this week’s haiku. I came up with several versions and settled for these two.

See how far you’ve come.
Don’t lose hope.
Just stay committed and focused,
you will triumph.
