A limerick
When thoughts and feelings madly swarm, My mind turned dark and driving storm- Play with words brings me peace; Syllables proffer release As do poetic devices and forms.
d’Verse poetics: Playtime!
At d’Verse, poets are encouraged to pen play-themed poems:
Play pat-a-cake with the cat. Draw chalk cartoons on the sidewalk. Flirt in your head with your fantasy lover. Be a Formula One race car driver. Go out and dance under the moon with the faeries. Choose any which way and have fun with it!
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

Till now I’m trained with the characters and alphabets in such a way that each word draw a clear picture in my mind.
And I don’t like visiting โsea stormsโ๐ often. Lol.
๐ค๐๐ป Lokesh ๐๐ป๐ค ~ well, I don’t ask them to visit… they do of their own accord!
Much love,

Oh David! You have captured the whole essence of the writer’s addiction to writing!!

Funny how people who love to write can see this and say “Yes, me too!” but then we aren’t always in the majority! I was just writing to another blogger how a teacher I used to work with introduced me to Bananagrams and now I have no one who will play with me!
๐๐๐ป Christine ๐๐ป๐ ~ that is such a fun game! ๐
Aw, too bad you don’t live near me! I’d have a Bananagram partner!
