Horrible title for bad rom-com

Title: Coming Soon!

Min's eyes were darting searchlights scanning the dark room for her lover.

And she found the face with blue moon pocked with craters.

The two locked eyes in a indirect manner.

Challenge
Describe freedom in 15 words... with one caveat: you can't use the words free, freedom, freeing, freest or freer (even in the title).

Micro poems on Life:

Marriage-

While framing nuptial bonding

wondered discovering Us!

And the clock ticked away....

Doubt-

Doubts of sin

when enter the train of thought

spin the windmill of imagination to blow them away...

Challenges-

Good fortune & bad fortune

take turns 

in the circle of life.

Destiny-

Change the direction of winds

adjust the sail

and reach your destiny.

Slice of life

From time to time

slice of life

is never luck but hard work.

Moment-

To cast your own shadows

Be sure to be 

In light.

Life & its Meanings:

To a Singer its a song

To a player its game

To a common-man its a challenge

To a dreamer its living a dream

And to Life- its a realization.

PEN

Call to Poets, Essayists & Novelists

 for a challenge

 sounds like a falange

play on WIT...

Now sit & scribe the best fit

So here I submit...

Romeos have gone to their grave having falling in love

Writers have met their lonesome fate describing love

All have paid heavy duty for an emotion called love

so you all agree to this fact

now go and write with soulful tact.....

united we stand divided we misunderstand.

Opposite Signal

In the journey called life

traffic jams occur

blue pill may stop a fit & red pill for that extra mile.

King Midas learns this late

winner is always time in all fate.

No matter what, people will stick you in boxes

There was a boy named Jack

people gave him lots of flak

He was labeled some time a genius other times a fraud

Jack shrugged, his spirits never thawed

After all the Pirates of Carribean have always awed....

Adjective “Roving”

An incident which makes me wonder how insecure some people are at their work place.

It was a Monday afternoon, a presentation was in process. The topic was makeover. Where young women who want to look smart yet do not have the time and information, are invited to attend a makeover experience where they are given free tips & an experience to look smart and cool.

How an adjective comes to play? The second last slide of the presentation displayed a roving expert will hunt down females in desperate need of a makeover.

And my objection was with the adjective roving.

Synonyms of Roving:  ambulant, ambulatory, errant, fugitive, gallivanting (also galavanting), nomad, nomadic, perambulatory, peregrine, peripatetic, ranging, roaming, itinerant, vagabond, vagrant, wandering, wayfaring. And in this context where an Expert will do makeovers on young women does he need to have roving eyes as a requirement of selection?

My objection was snubbed with a racist remark something like: How can you a brown skin, Indian talk to a Canadian & a Brit who are flagship holders of the imperial language called "English". 

Occident Vs Orient, the old tradition and mindset is still persistent. Though we are living in a digital age with innovation and technology but our thinking is still of morbid19th century.

Night-scape

It was a  starry starry night

set against shadowed skies

Magical stars 

beautiful & bright

Twirling & Swirling

Twinkling lights

As shiny little spots 

on a dead dark night.

It was a starry starry night

As I looked around and saw

Tall buildings standing floor to ceiling

windows making the wall a true curtain of glass

mirroring other buildings, cars, people near them

reflecting the hustle, bustle, the avarice & the cupidity of a commercial world.

It was a starry starry night

Shiny stars gleam, glittering above

Shadows of gloomy buildings below

A similar feeling crept up

as there were no smiles on the faces around

Was this once again sadness for Van Gogh's starry night!
