1-6-2021 prompt: Genie’s lamp

Magic lamp

If I had a genie's lamp
surely I would go camp
in the starry heavens to meet
my illustrious ancestors and greet
them for their wisdom
I would try and fathom
the secret of their strength
the ability to win at length.


1-7-2021 Prompt words: Advice or Middle

Sensible

I think I will take your advice
and take an early retirement.
your suggestion sounds sensible
It would help me to be free of
tensions of a career and focus
on more productive activities
like finding a singing group
or longer spans of meditation…

1-8-2021 Prompt : Quotation “The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention. – John Burroughs.

Inspiration

To me inspiration springs from
the smallest of deeds intended
to make change for the better.
If my smile or a nod replaces
a brooding expression with a
returning smile in someone,
I feel my day is made and it brings
a sprightly spring to my step.


1-9-2021 Prompt: Image of Reflecting bridge

Reflections

Try to better your future my friend
says the reflection on the bridge.
The past is clear, the road traveled.
My present gives me a chance
to pave the way to a brighter future.
So how do I do it? A question
that pushes me to focus on the inner
self, which in itself is a challenge.


1-11-2021 prompt words: guess or demand

Incredible!


I don't know how old you are,
but I'll venture a guess.
Around late thirties?
No, early fifties, you say.

Incredible! You look so young.
I can see the reasons behind.
A free mind and moderation,
control and a hearty laugh.
