F for Fireworks...!!!

I am happy to celebrate

Just another memorable date

It's my "Dreams" milestone

Two years since it was born.

It had been a happy journey

For a fledgling poet like me

In the challenging field of writing

Inspiring prose and poetry.

There were trying moments

Quitting was all I contemplated

But I am grateful for the push

From supportive friends and faithful muse.

Blogging had become my passion

Every time I am left alone

By kids who'd pursue their careers happily

And a hubby far away to keep a roof for his family.

I wish to stay for good in this blogging world

To keep boredom away from the fold

And to gain more blogging friends so true

Anya, Nanka, Amias and Diana, to name a few!

So let the fireworks begin today

Of my blogging anniversary on the 28th day

Guest bloggers will grace in a happy way

From the 26th til the 30th day!

F for Fireworks

G for Goosebumps

I bought that wind chime, six years back in Baguio City. It is believed to ward off evil every time it chimes. It is even used to enhance the good chi in a house, according to Chinese belief. So there, I bought one.

It chimes whenever someone comes near the main door as it comes into contact with the head and I get alerted. When my kids come home from school I rush to hug them.

It was  late night when everyone had  retired to bed and the main door was closed. As I was falling into sleep I suddenly heard the bell chime. Who could it be at this odd hour, I wondered....I was alone with kids  with my hubby away. I tiptoed silently and saw through a  peep hole.

There was no one. Is someone hiding and playing tricks with me? I waited for another chime. It did not occur.....I dared not open the door but the long silence gave  me creepy feelings. It sent shivers down my spine.

Am I imagining? Whatever it is, I will not remove that wind chime. Because I know when my kids arrive from school or when someone is entering our house without permission. As I was turning back to the bed room, I heard the chime distinctly and clearly again. Sure a trespasser was there and his intentions were not honest as he hid from peep hole. I again walked gingerly to  peep thro the peep hole.

What I saw gave me a hearty laugh. It was my parrot Charlie that escaped from the cage and fluttering about between the chime and the cage. I tried to be brave and opened the door to put it back in  the cage.

It was then that a strong hand clasped my neck from behind......How foolish I was, I thought!

H for Harmony

Man lives in enduring harmony

In the wonderful vast universe

With all its creatures, varied and  diverse
Some big and some tiny.

Some hostile  and many gentle

Some rugged and a few fearful

Some harmful and many helpful

While many are simply beautiful.

The colourful  butterfkies and the humming  bees

The mighty forests with the giant trees

The tall mountains with snow clad peaks

The flooded rivers coursing the countries

The turbulent seas staying within  shores

The seasonal rains unfailingly falls

The sun, moon and stars making regular seasons

The nature's fury is restrained always.

Man in peace manages to reside
With all of God's creations side by side

Grateful to the Lord for blessings countless

Basking in His love that is ever boundless

J for Joie de Vivre

Shower me with your  sweet li’l kisses

Pamper me with all thy loving care

Imprison me in your warm sinewy arms

Let our eyes speak a thousand words

Let me melt in your warm embrace

Tell me of your true love and devotion

Oh, a penny for your wild thoughts

Yes, a nickel for your honeydew kisses

This isn’t a dream, this is real

If moon and stars are silent witnesses

They would only approve our love divine

And proclaim we’re a match made in heaven!
