Enthusiasm Unleashed: Embracing the Fire Within

-

"Ignite your spirit and embrace the power of enthusiasm to fuel your journey towards success."

In response to

W3 Prompt #55

Write an acrostic poem on any one of the following words:
  1. Discipline;
  2. Enthusiasm;
  3. Meditation;
  4. Tumult;
  5. Trouble.

My choice of word is Enthusiasm 

Eager to start, with a heart full of zeal
No fear of failure, no hesitation to feel
The world is your playground, your passion your guide
Hopeful and optimistic, with nothing to hide
Understand that mistakes are part of the game
Stay positive and motivated, and don't feel ashamed
Ignite the fire within you, let your spirit soar
Achieving your dreams, and wanting more
Savor the journey, and enjoy the ride
Make the most of every moment, with enthusiasm as your guide.

=========================================================================

Discipline
(Added on May 19, 2023)

Determined, you strive to reach your goals,
In the face of challenges, your spirit unfolds.
Sacrifices made, commitment unyielding,
Cultivating habits, discipline revealing.
In every endeavor, you stay on track,
Persevering with focus, you won't look back.
Laser-sharp focus guides your way,
Inspiring others, day after day.
Never wavering, your actions aligned,
Empowering success, disciplined mind.

=========================================================================

Meditation
(Added on May 19, 2023)

Mind still, in peaceful silence I abide,
Experiencing the depths within, where answers hide.
Dissolving thoughts, I find inner serenity,
In the realm of pure consciousness, I am free.
Thoughts arise, but I let them pass by,
Allowing the present moment to unfold, oh, my!
Transcending the chaos, finding inner bliss,
Intertwining breath and awareness, I reminisce,
Observing sensations, emotions, and the flow,
Navigating the depths of my being, I grow.
=========================================================================

    How gloriously delightful this is! You rocked the prompt. *clapping* I especially loved these lines:
    "The world is your playground, your passion your guide
    Hopeful and optimistic, with nothing to hide
    Understand that mistakes are part of the game
    Stay positive and motivated, and don't feel ashamed"
    Thanks for sharing this gem with such a lovely message. *clapping again*

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
