Thirteen
My lucky number
That’s the date of my birth
Glad mom wasn’t superstitious
That day

OctPoWriMo Day 29
Theme: By The Numbers
Most people think the number 13 is an unlucky number but since I was born on that day I have had to consider it positively as my parents always thought me to be a blessing to them and weren’t superstitious.
(Besides, I was born on a Tuesday not on a Friday!) 😊

#OctPoWriMo 2018
A world of colors.
The world is full of color!
What color do you love?
When you have so many choices,
Why choose just one?
Choose color multitudes!
Look all around you,
As far as your eyes can see,
Manifold colors surround!
Choka
#OctPoWriMo Day 27 Prompt: Color
Emotions stir inside of me
Thoughts rushing in like a hurricane
Cripple my mind causing great pain
Cold feet numb, desire to flee
Would I not gotten so intense
Spoke out loud the things inside
Revealed hurts instead of hide
Tried to reason with offense
But nay, I kept it trapped within
Tongue lies silent in its tomb
Nerves on edge await their doom
I need new life to begin
God reveal to me what to do
No one knows me better than You
Sonnet (English)

Through the open door they dance
Inhibitions unlocked
Freely they fling
Flashes of color
Detached, moving with abandon
Come to rest at my feet
I gape at the beauty of the leaves of Fall
Come to entertain me
On this windy day.

Prompt: “How Will I Know”
Don’t let any moment slip by
Cus hours tend to fly
Seconds march on
Til life is gone
And the clock hands can’t be delayed
Minutes fade
The hourglass runs
No past reruns
Your life’s chronology is now
Present avow
Future gain
Not live in vain.

Dont let go of your steam
Though water is stirred
Vision blurred
Stay spurred
