From a little seed
Does a great oak tree grow tall
All it needs is time

Don’t wish time away
They already grow too fast
Embrace their childhood

I can’t stop looking
My morbid fascination
Growing all the time

Tj’s Household Haiku Challenge.

There was a photo

Place Monge Flowers

And the word VIBRANT.

My take…

Colours so vibrant
A bouquet of memories
Each telling a tale

The fabric is actually from my mum. These are outfits that she was bought for her wedding, and each separate piece really does have a story behind it. She has kept some of these pieces aside for me, as memory pieces, things that I will have a sentimental attachment to.

She always starts the conversation with “I’m not being morbid but one day I won’t be here, so I want to get these things sorted out.” And there is a pile of these jewel-coloured outfits for me, and for my sister in law!

One thing’s for sure, I’ll never forget my mum.

A glimpse of daylight
Like a missing jigsaw piece
Suspended in air

Poetic RITUals – Reviews!

It’s been a manic few weeks, and after the launch of my poetry book, Poetic RITUals, I haven’t really been touting it, or really promoting it, because, well, life got in the way!

A massive thanks to those bloggers who have reblogged my original posts (Erika, Judy, Rich, Sue, Annette, Hugh) to name a few) , and those who interviewed me and arranged guest posts. (Al, Sally, Chris) For them, I am truly grateful!

I was unaware, until Judy mentioned that she had reviewed my book on Amazon, that I had had any reviews! I was expecting a notification from Amazon, to be honest, so now I understand that I have to keep checking myself!

And I have not one, but TWO 5 star ratings!

Judy wrote:

This book is jam-packed with fun, smiles, laughter and even a bit of the Awww factor. Ritu’s writing is refreshing.and honest; she puts her heart and soul into this book, and it shows. A must-read, especially if you need perking up!

And the other review,

I love this book. My daughter and I have been reading a few poems from it and cannot wait to read more. Lots of funny bits. I can really relate to some of the poems. Some of the best poetry I have read. I’m truly inspired. This book is a must read.

I am so touched!

And eager to hear from anyone else who may have bought it, and read it.

What do you think of it?

Please let me know, and if possible, leave a review on Amazon!!!!
