  • POEM: Inspiration... 28

    She’s a lovely but moody lady.She doesn’t come to me when I call her, Or when it’s a good time for me to write. She only comes to me when she pleases. My book depends on her, literally. There wouldn’t be a book if it weren’t for her. So, I learned to listen to her when she wants to speak up. I learned to make her creating mood work for me. I treat her with coffee and cookies when she makes an appearance. We sit together at the table when she visits, And we start writing. I absorb every word she says, And I let her lead the way. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my book of poetry Sunset in Toronto, page 122.

    The emperor decides to update his wardrobe.He hires two tailors for the job. Apparently, they are the best tailors in the kingdom. Everybody raves about them. The tailors arrive at the palace. Work starts with no delay. But there is a catch. Only the worthy can wear the magnificent robes created by the skillful tailors. If you are unworthy, it will not fit. Work in progress. The council comes to see how it goes. But every time a courtier checks on the tailors, They squirm uncomfortably in the shop. What is going on here? Am I seeing things? Do my eyes deceiv

  • POEM: Poetry... 36

    • 03-04-2024 18:22

    I sit at my desk,An open notebook in front of me. My fingers tremble with anticipation. The blank page stares back at me, A canvas yearning for the brushstrokes of my words. I close my eyes, Seeking solace in the depths of my thoughts, Where emotions intertwine and memories whisper. And then, like an ethereal muse, inspiration begins to bloom. Words dance in my mind, waiting to be brought together on the white page. I grasp my pen, And I let the ink flow freely, Like a river finding its course. Sentences form, weaving a tapestry of emotions and experiences. Each word, carefully selected, holds the weight of my feelings, my longing, my pain. It is in this sacred space that I find solace, Where my heart spills onto the page and transforms into poetry.

  • Happy Easter!... 80

    • Moda
    • 31-03-2024 18:30

    Today is a beautiful spring day. It's sunny and bright. A gorgeous blue sky with playful clouds. It's a mild tempretaure today, 7 degrees Celsius. And it's Easter Sunday. Easter is a time of the year when Mother Nature fully awakens from her winter slumber. Nature doesn't wake up from her deep sleep instantly, but rather she takes time in stages to come back to life. To me, the very first sign of spring is March 1st, the first calendaristic day of spring. The winter months are over, and March is the month that officially marks the beginning of spring. Then the daylight saving hour comes along during the second weekend of March -- in North America at least. We move the clocks one hour ahead to make a better use of the daylight. Now we SEEM to have longer days, the afternoons are

  • POEM: The Japanese Maple Tree... 34

    • 03-03-2024 12:00

    My neighborhood looks the prettiest in the spring.When I go for a walk in the park, I notice the blooming trees along the street. I take out my phone and photograph the blooms. There is a Japanese maple tree in front of my neighbor’s house down the street.  It’s rather unique, And I am fascinated by this perfect creation of Mother Nature. I stop in front of the house and take a few pictures of the tree. My neighbor sees me from her house, and she gets out. She encourages me to approach the tree and take closer pictures from her driveway. I gather she is used to the attention that her precious Japanese maple tree is getting, It’s the only one in our neighborhood. I thank my neighbor for her kind gesture

Whether you're spending the day with a significant other, cherished friends, or simply reveling in self-love, may it be filled with moments that make your soul dance and your spirit soar. On this Valentine's Day, let's embrace the beauty of love in all its manifestations and spread its light wherever we go. On today's Day of Love, I would like to share with you two of my paintings that I did in 2019 (acrylic on canvas), when I just started painting as a new hobby -- Love and Family. Both of these paintings are dedicated to those whom I love the most, my husband and my son. In the beginning, I was painting very two-dimensional, but I hope to develop my painting techniques to create more

  • POEM: Mona Lisa... 75

    I step into the grand hall of the Louvre,My heart pounding with anticipation. The whispers of countless visitors fill the air, Blitz flashes incessantly, But my focus remains unwavering. I weave through the crowds, Following the signs that lead me to her. She’s the first one I want to see. And then, there she is, The enigmatic smile that has captivated hearts for centuries. Mona Lisa. I stand in awe, studying every brushstroke, every subtle hue, As if deciphering a secret language. The crowded room seems to fade away, Leaving only her and me in a timeless moment. The protective barriers that stand betwe

  • POEM: The White Lighthouse... 51

    • Moda
    • 24-01-2024 15:25

    Standing tall and proud on the sandy shores of Lake Ontario,The white lighthouse is a beacon of hope for sailors navigating treacherous waters. Its gleaming façade contrasts beautifully with the azure sky and the deep blue expanse of the lake. For generations, the lighthouse has faithfully guided ships to safety, Its light cutting through the darkness like a celestial sword. It has seen storms and serenity, Witnessed tears of parting and joyous reunions, Became a silent witness to the ebb and flow of life on the shore of the lake. Townspeople have come to cherish the lighthouse for the sense of security and comfort it provides to all who lay eyes upon it. Its stoic presence is a reminder of the enduring strength that guides them through life’s tempestuous seas.

  • A Love Poem... 54

    • 22-01-2024 14:38

    All I want on a cold winter day is a glass of wine, a book, and you.I wake up every day grateful that you are still in my life. I was born into this world to love you. Love is everywhere. In my heart, my soul, my thoughts. When I say I love you, I really mean I love you. You’re the only one who can unlock my heart. Your being away is torture for me, I’m counting the minutes until you’re back. Don’t be afraid to give wings to your heart, I will catch it. I love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. ~~~~~~~~~~ An experimental poem dedicated to love inspired by quotes about love from some of my short poems previously published on my social media pages.

  • POEM: The Antiques Shop... 50

    • 17-01-2024 17:24

    I’m on a road trip.A journey of discovery. I drive through the winding roads of the countryside. On my way across the country, I stumble upon a charming little town that seems almost frozen in time. I am intrigued by its quaint atmosphere. I decide to explore its streets on foot. It doesn’t take long for a unique storefront to catch my eye. It’s an antiques shop with a faded sign that reads “The Attic with the Memories”. The moment I step inside, A rush of nostalgia envelops me. The shop is a treasure trove of forgotten artifacts, Each of them whispering stories of days long gone. Among the dusty shelves, I spot an old journal

  • POEM: The Winter Solstice... 53

    • 15-01-2024 18:59

    On the eve of the winter solstice,A serene hush descends upon the world. Delicate snowflakes pirouette from the heavens, Transforming the landscape into a pristine tableau of white. The air is crisp, And the silvery glow of the moon casts an ethereal sheen over the snow-covered earth. Beneath the blanket of frost, the world seems to hold its breath in quiet reverence for the shortest day of the year. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of pink and lavender, People gather around fireplaces and candles, Celebrating the triumph of light over darkness, warmth over cold. With the arrival of the winter solstice, Mother Nature embarks on her silent dance,

    I’m not the kind of New Year’s Eve resolutions gal.When the magic night between the years comes, I hold on to the moment. I raise the glass. I kiss my love on the lips. I wish for a happier new year. What else do people have on their minds when the new year is here? Read more books. Travel more. Exercise more. Lose more weight. Spend more time with friends and family. Go to all the new restaurants in town. Quit smoking. Get married. Find a new job. I don’t say any of these things to myself at twelve o’clock when the old year leaves and the new one knocks at the door. I would be disapp
