A Dose of Poetry+Art!

Hello dear readers ❤️

Yes, I know it’s been an awfully long time since I’ve posted anything on my blog since I’m so caught up with assignments and tests and whatnot. But don’t worry, I have been reading, liking and commenting on WordPress from time to time, so I know what my amazing fellow bloggers are up to!

And today, I thought I’d share a little something I posted on my Instagram page (aspenn_tales) just a while ago…an illustration alongside poetry! Hope you enjoy! 😊

In the rustle of the leaves,
in the whistle of the breeze,
in the laughter of birds playing hide-and-seek,
can you hear the forest calling?

FLY AWAY: My Entry for Sadje’s WDYS Challenge #116

Yoo-hoo, here’s a post-hiatus post in response to this week’s WDYS Challenge! 😉🙃

For the visually challenged reader, the image shows a young person’s silhouette against a pink sky. You can see a subdued sun in the sky and birds flying in circle.

HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS:

  • You can write a post on your blog and create a pingback to link to the original post.
  • Write an original story, poem or a caption.
  • There is no limit to words or format but keep it family-friendly.
  • If you post a response before next Sunday, Sadje will be able to add it to my roundup post.
  • It is always helpful if you can give your post/story/poem a title.
  • Paste a link of your post in the comments of the original post so that Sadje doesn’t miss anyone in the roundup!

Please tag your responses with

………

Fly away;
you have no use staying here
on the ground, caged up and bound.

Fly away;
find yourselves a better sky
to roam, to claim as your own.

Fly away;
‘til your wings can flap no more,
and soon, you’ll reach the moon.
