inspired haiku senryu “Nobodies child”

The art and joys of being able to put what we observe and experience into words and share with the world. What a gift it is. A boarding house experience beautifully surmised by Mick E Talbot. That a song and I inspired this poem is awesome!

Mick E Talbot Poems

“nobodies child”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
how i longed for home
boarding school one whole term
broken heart lost love

eleven year old
deported against my will
my parents too

unbeknown new
a rule that hurt us all
weekend disasters

to far to travel
one day there one day back
no time for visits

homesick lonely nights
my parents too were crying
a whole term dying

summer break and home
empathy resolved my straits
home loving parents

while I was there
respite for me was nature
now still besotted

long story cut short
as back then was a life time
despair misery

now a happy home
a wife three children
grand and great too

like all we face
trials and tribulations
together resolved

My life back then invoked
by you and a old song
both invoking tears

Invoked memory by Aweni

Chronicles of a girl boarder

  "Squat!!!!" They squealed, all three of them red in the face with anger. "How could a junior be so confident?" They thought. "Another pair of wings to break!" One of them shouted. They had asked for her bowl of rice, But she would not let it go. She held onto it like her life …

The man and Life

I once heard a conversation between a man and Life. The man thought his fate the worst of all. All he had to provide for his son and wife was a guitar. He sat with his guitar, while Life stood by silently, listening to him. "I have looked inwards", he said to Life. "All I …

If only you knew

You criticize Put me down Belittle me Aim to make me feel unwanted To feel foolish and incapable If only you knew That for every criticism, I learn And I perfect Every time I am put down, I rise to a greater height With every belittling I become larger than life Because the universe wants …
