Writing Exercise 150

Wow!

This is writing exercise 150 already. :o
This means there are 150 weeks of continuously writing tidbits behind me. With this week's little poem, here's to another 150 writing exercises. :D

2018/10/28 – The Little Leaf (poem)

There once was a little leaf

Budding on a stem of a tree

To whispered caution it was deaf

Wishing to be wild and free

There once was a bright green leaf

Basking in the summer sun

It was of the certain belief

That flying would be so much fun

There once was a withered leaf

Watching all his dear friends fall

It was stricken with great grief

Knowing this was nature's call

There once was a crumpled leaf

Covered by a blanket of snow

It had a dream quite nice, quite brief

Of buds in springtime's morning glow

Writing Exercise 149

Good morning!

I'm sorry I'm late. For some reason I didn't upload this yesterday, but here is last week's writing exercise:

2018/10/21 – Autumn (Drabble)

It is that time of year again, when in the wee hours of the new day the light is hardly able to fight the darkness of night and the world wants to stay grey and black. Occasional lampposts throw blots of light in the blackness. And when the day finally breaks the mist doesn't want to let go for the longest time. But when it does, the day is usually bright. Leaves fall and crumble to the ground, cover the earth like a colourful blanket. So it may rest peacefully while the days become shorter. Autumn always makes me sleepy.

Writing exercise 148

Good morning!

This time aroun I was inspired by a song title to write this week's Haiku. Here it is:

2018/10/13 – fairy tale gone bad (Haiku)

Once upon a time

The hero lived happily,

But never after

Writing Exercise 147

Hey everyone!

Today is a special occasion so I waited until today to do my weekly writing exercise. Celebrating the National Day of my country I wrote a poem for you. Here it is:

2018/10/03 – German National Day (Poem)

Let me praise you

My beautiful country, my nation, my home

Your landscape is so diverse and rich

From the mountains to the sea

Never have I felt so free

Have my constitutional rights, of which

I make use, my life to hone

Let me applaud you

By xenophobia let's not be blinded

Embrace cultural diversity now

Black, red and gold

Remember what history told

Be proud of what democracy can allow

Break free from being narrow-minded

And let me love you
