Two Wishes

"Reflecting on the power of wish fulfillment and the consequences of our desires"

Truthful Tuesday 14th March

This week Di wants to know:-
By some weird twist of fate, you are given 2 wishes. What would you wish for?

Wow, two wishes! That's quite a gift. I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the possibilities. I mean, I could wish for anything - money, power, fame, love, happiness. But if I had to choose, I would wish for two things that are more meaningful to me than any material possessions.

Firstly, I would wish for good health and longevity for myself and my loved ones. I have seen firsthand the impact that illness and premature death can have on families and communities, and I would do anything to prevent that kind of pain and suffering. I want to be able to live a long and healthy life, and I want the same for those closest to me.

My second wish would be for a world where everyone is kind and compassionate towards one another. We live in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving, where people are judged and mistreated based on their race, gender, religion, or any number of other factors. I would love to see a world where everyone is treated with respect and dignity, and where kindness and empathy are the norms rather than the exception.

Of course, there are so many things I could wish for - an end to poverty and hunger, a cure for cancer, world peace - but I think these two wishes are the most fundamental to my own happiness and the well-being of those around me.

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
