Frame by frame
Stitched by feeling
Trimmed with pain
Frayed somewhere
Threadbare elsewhere
Rich and luxuriant
Colourful and picturesque
Or sepia tinted
With fading memories
Life, doesn’t it just
Leave you
Reeling?
Sometimes?

Some stories need to be said... Some need to be heard.
Longreads : The best longform stories on the web
of books, food and friendship!
A journey to find new meaning after personal loss
In the Indian context
writer, storyteller, veteran (see BirchBark Editing.com and MaxieJaneFrazier.com for more)
And, yes, i love to limerick || Have tried to master the trick || Of the a a b b a rhyme || 'Tis a joy truly sublime || When a verse comes out slick and quick!
A life of books . . .
The fresh smell of life.
Mind over matter
When you look out, what do you see?
A fine WordPress.com site
and sometimes trying on new ones for fit (and looks)
Vanity, On A Royal Scale
The world through my lens.....
To Share... To Love... What better way than words
One Step at a Time
All that remains.
I like birds
Comics, Cartoons, Writings.
Malayalam mini-series
Learning something new every day.
A Quest on Overdrive ... :)

Life’s patchwork quilt
Often makes us wilt
But gob-smacking reeling
Gives way to joyful squealing
So long as we try and, at the windmills, tilt!

Indeeed. Life does leave you reeling sometimes… Often times it is a jolt – pleasant or not so pleasant depending on inertia….
Very well written!! 🙂 and I was reading this while passing Trichur station 😀

Well David, it always pulls punches, and leaves one reeling, most times, life… 🙂 The jolt, the inertia… you got that!
Northwards or Southwards through Trichur? Talk of coincidences 🙂
Thank you so much!

With TIME as the editor
and the ALMIGHTY as the director
though in the REAL, you are the main actor
sometimes they make you REEL like a mute spectator
the lines being forgotten even by the prompter.
Reeling? Thank you very much!!! 🙂

*Spinning head* I am. Reeling from a magnificently written critique of what I thought I might have written… 🙂
Thank you, infinitely, for writing what I wanted to. I should replace the blog post with this. THIS this is what I wanted to write. Sigh. Talk of words gone awry 😀 Mine, of course 😀
Still reeling.
Thank you, utterly utterly utterly!!!!
