I never thought that my life would be intertwined with these twelve words, but looking back, I can see how they have shaped me into the person I am today.

As a wildlife enthusiast, I signed up for a seven-day nature safari that promised to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment I set foot on the safari, I felt a soothing sensation. The guide, a seasoned naturalist, introduced himself and gave us a rundown of the trip. He explained that luck would play a crucial role in spotting rare animals and birds, but he assured us that our chances were good.

On the first day of the safari, we saw a beautiful bird with a color that I had never seen before. The guide told us that it was a Himalayan Monal, and we were lucky to see it. However, the next day, we encountered grief as we came across the remains of a deer that had been killed by a predator.

As the days went by, we encountered more animals, each with a label and story of its own. We saw tigers, leopards, bears, and a variety of birds. On the fifth day, we witnessed a miracle as we spotted a group of elephants, which was a rare sight in this part of the country.

However, it wasn't until the sixth day that we encountered the most heartwarming experience of the safari. We stumbled upon a hidden enclosure in the jungle, where a group of rescued animals was kept. The animals were living in a cage, but the love and care that they received from their caretakers were heartwarming. It was then that I realized that my mission in life was to protect and conserve these beautiful creatures.

As the safari came to an end, I realized that this experience had forced me to step out of my comfort zone and appreciate the beauty of nature in a way that I had never done before. The seven days had taught me the importance of luck, the beauty of colors, the pain of grief, the power of a label, the existence of miracles, the cruelty of a cage, the hidden secrets of the jungle, and the mission of protecting and conserving wildlife.

Dancer's Flight

"In the spotl͏ight's embrace, a dancer takes fl͏ight w͏ith the cl͏ick of her heels, weav͏ing a graceful dream on the stage." In response to dVerse Poetry Form: Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana For today’s poetry form, we are writing to the Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana which carries a fast staccato rhythm. It is a variation of the Seguidilla, which was discussed here, including the definition of assonance. The elements of the Flamenca are: *stanzaic, can be written in any number of quintains. *syllabic, 6-6-5-6-6 syllables per line to imitate the rapid click of the heels of a dancer. *Line 2 and Line 5 assonate. (same vowel sounds) Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Spain Heels clicking, swift delight, On the stage, she takes flight. In spotlight's soft gleam, Her dance, a graceful dream, Grace in each step's invite. V͏is͏it͏ing Teatros del Canal ͏in Madr͏id, Spa͏in, for a flamenco performance was an exper͏ience I'll treasure forever. As I entered the elegant theater, th

Window Gazing

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
