A day for lovers
A day for dreamers
A day for friendship
A day for joy

A day of laughter
A day to borrow
A day of smiles
A day of leisure
Without tomorrow

Two Year Anniversary on WordPress

I’d never write at all”

Two Year Anniversary on WordPress

Today, it has been two years since I started my blog Rantings of a Third Kind here on WordPress.

“A poem a day keeps the shrink at bay”, is a great guideline to follow and it is has been working for me at least!

My advice, in case you asked, to all you bloggers and wanna be writers out there, is to set yourself some time aside each day and if nothing else, pour your mind flow onto the paper or as it is in these modern days, in bits and bytes. I know this may sound like cliched advice, but it’s better to force yourself to a routine of writing rather than postponing it for one reason or another. I know there are always excuses as to why not, but in the end, if you have a passion for writing, the excuse are just that – excuses. And do not be afraid to publish, good or bad, it’s all good in the end.

Universal Children’s Day 20 November

Posted in Celebration: Universal Children’s Day 20 November

“Childhood means simplicity.
Look at the world with the child’s eye –
it is very beautiful.”
Kailash Satyarthi

Universal Children’s Day

The world would be total shit
Without a child in it
No laughter, nor giggles
No mystery nor riddles

Doing all kinds of silly things
With her dog and tiny wings
Future wide and open
For them you are hoping

Joy and fortune
Without worry or torture
Today’s little children
Tomorrow’s gems and pearls

Let them play
Let them stay
Little children
A while longer
