Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 36: (GIFT) in the B rhyme line.
Ronovan said : You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (MAD and Sane) which and this Décima Challenge of GIFT in the B rhyme line. This means you could write a haiku post using the prompt words. Then do a Décima post using this week’s prompt uniting the two with a common message.
The 2 CHALLENGES are SEPARATE but CAN BE combined if YOU CHOOSE to do so. I chose to do so. Here is the link to my Haiku.
The gift of madness.
Corridors full of empty souls Dancing but their spirits won’t lift. Sanity is not ours to gift Lost forever all youthful goals Here hope is gone it downhill rolls. Screaming inside, making no sound Dancing in circles round and round. Foresake all hope of leaving here. Keeping guard, surrounded by fear. We’re all lost never to be found.
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

I have to keep remembering that life on Earth been more peaceful in the last half of the 20th century than it has been since homo sapiens crawled out of the caves. When I consider what it must have been like to be alive during the Vikings, Genghis Kahn, WWI and WWII, it gives me hope.
Your so right, you have put me back in my place, slapped my face and restored some order🙂 we do have a lot to be grateful for 🤐💜💜💜💜
I didn’t mean to slap anyone’s face. Sorry if I made you feel that way. It’s just that up until a year ago, life was better in this world than it had been during most of history. I am grateful I was alive during a relatively peaceful moment, but I fear for the future of my grandchildren.
My parents were fortunate in many ways. They were able to sell their home and tour the country in the 1970’s in a motor home when gas prices were still low enough and they could build the first floor of their new home without a $&#@ permit. They lived during a time when the western word was just on the brink of going crazy.
I totally agree and I honestly meant the ‘slap on the face ‘ in a good way. I fear for the future of our children and grandchildren. Somehow we have squandered ( we as in the human race) so much of earth’s resources and she is biting back. I think we are the last generation to have it easy….though easy may not be the right word. Not sure what 2021 might bring so here’s to 2022. 💜😊

The world is definitely an insane asylum. Sometimes we get a glimpse sanity.
Goodness knows we could do with some sanity…things are not good here. How are you and yours coping 💜💜
