Time was nigh as far
as her plan of starting a
garden was concerned
She didn’t deviate from
her plan one bit despite the
proffer of a team
She made sure to clam
up the others saying that
it was in her mind
Once the idea
germinated in her brain,
they met as agreed

Those incessant sounds of birds all round
pale in front of anything else
flowers that are still to bloom
might overcome turmoil
still with a smile and
have set aside
time in which
to make
fruit

Original Poem
Fall had begun to
set in as the leaves turned red
yellow or orange
The berry picking
season was at its end with
just a token left
My revision
With the beginning
of autumn, nature displayed
its various hues
Berry season was
almost over except for the
few remaining behind

While I listen to
everyone, I make sure
that none bully me
I have the courage
to start over again despite
all the lampooning
I have a weakness
for jaunting through crowds as well
lounging on the beach
I make sure that none
of my relationships are
fake in any way

Having noted her existence,
they planned to make their presence felt,
They tried to pry all her online activities,
without much success since she was miles ahead,
She already knew that eavesdropping was pointless,
and would simply lead to nothing but a dead end

While his campaign had
been flagging since a while,
he never held back
Though it may have seemed
odd to others, he did all
he possibly could
Despite garnering
respect, his politics didn’t
find many takers

These are desperate times for economies around the world. Hikes of all kinds whether its in utility rates, ticket rates, hotel rates, prices in retail and more maybe required to prevent a number of organizations and countries going bust. But on the other hand, hikes will discourage people even further as there are millions who have lost jobs.
The most important thing for almost anyone is to ensure that they are able to put food on the table. All the other luxuries may have taken a backseat for the foreseeable future. Life has become all the more intense and it is a far cry from the fantabulous days before the pandemic when money hunters didn’t need to do much at all as everything seemed hunky dory. The struggle for survival is on as the pandemic has given people a mirror on their actions from the past.
From spring to summer,
the pandemic left millions
struggling for it all

Classed amongst the rest
angered him so much so that
he just huffed aloud
Linking to dVerse Challenge: Meet the bar, verbing
Looking towards the horizon
with the sun setting in the background,
and hearing the sound of the waves hitting the shore
with him lying lazily on the beach,
he knew that he was a beach bum at heart
and could spend days alone there.
