Survival of the fittest

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

‘But man is not made for defeat,’ he said. ‘A man can be destroyed but not defeated.’
– The Old Man and the Sea (1952) by Ernest Hemingway

A struggle to live

amidst the horror of death

without oxygen

A struggle to live

amidst loss of livelihood

and hopelessness

But also a chance

to readapt and rethink our

way of life ahead

But also a chance

for survival of the fittest

in more ways than one

Dark night sky

In dVerse Challenge, Poetry

The dark night sky

so many stars wherever you see

peace and quiet around,

a time to reflect

So many stars wherever you see

that light up the night sky

in all its glory

Peace and quiet around

with miles and miles of desert

without a single soul around

A time to reflect

and introspect for everything

that has been and always will be

Journey of life

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

Journey of life

The train chugged along

identical tracks, but the

surroundings kept changing

The journey of life

and death is the same for all

but people encountered are different

The day she was waiting for..

By transitionofthoughts

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

She was waiting for

this day but now that it was

here, she got nervous

This wedding was what

she had always wanted and

her parents agreed

Though it went well,

she became teary eyed leaving home

and had to avoid smudging her makeup

Left at the altar

By transitionofthoughts

On June 4, 2021

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

We loved each other

to the moon and back but you

left me at the altar

We promised to be

by each other’s side but you

left me at the altar

We had some lovely

times together but you

left me at the altar

What started as joy

turned into depression as you

left me at the altar

Curiosity

By transitionofthoughts

On June 1, 2021

In dVerse Challenge, Fandango One Word Challenge, Haiku, MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie, Poetry, Ragtag Daily Prompt, Sunday Writing Prompt

As they lay watching

the stars, they felt pure bliss not

having to stress out

But in the dead of

night, a shape-shifter had

other plans up its sleeve

While they got curious,

it went berserk posing a danger

to anything in its path

Victory vs Defeat

By transitionofthoughts

On May 7, 2021

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Palinode, Poetry

I

Defeat is part and

parcel of life and shouldn’t be

an embarrassment

II

Victory is all

that matters and defeat is

surely an insult

He just left

By transitionofthoughts

On May 5, 2021

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

As I look back, I

keep wondering whether he

really loved me

We started as friends

in school, chit-chatting away

for hours on end

He always made it

a point to do what he could

to see others smile

He always went out

of his way to impress me

or so I observed
