A Letter to you (from Suma Reddy)

John and Mary had been in love since they were teenagers. They grew up together, went to the same school, and eventually fell in love. They had pure love, and they knew they were meant to be together forever.

One day, John had a heart attack. He survived, but it was a close call. Mary was so scared that she hadn't answered his calls, and John was worried sick that something terrible had happened to her.

When they finally spoke, Mary asked what would happen if she died suddenly. John couldn't bear to even think about it. He told her that he couldn't imagine life without her and that if she died before him, he would kill himself.

Mary, in turn, told John that if God had made them for each other, then they would go together. She also shared something with him that she had been holding back for a while.

Mary had been writing letters to John but had never sent them. She had always wanted to make sure they were perfect before sending them. But now, in the face of John's near-death experience, Mary realized that life was too short to hold back.

She told John that she had many unspoken hurts in her life, but that she was living in the peace of his thoughts and feelings. She promised to send him the letters she had written, unpolished and unedited, to show him how much she loved him.

John and Mary realized that life was precious and that they needed to make the most of their time together. They cherished each other even more, and their love grew stronger every day.

They knew that they were meant to be together forever and that nothing could ever come between them.

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
