You can single handedly create a causal relation between two things that are currently unconnected — a word and an emotion, a song and an extreme weather event, wearing a certain color and winning the lottery. What cause would you link to what effect, and why?
Oh Wow .. what if the Birds chirped and Violins played?
N every time I saw you, I heard “our songs” in my head?
What if every time I looked at a cake slice longingly
My weight would go down by a 100 grams unfailingly?
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Final Trio.”
For our final trio prompt of the year, write about any topic you wish, but make sure your post features a bookcase, something cracked, and a song you love.
Tell us about the object of your dejection — something you made, a masterpiece unfinished, or some sort of project that failed to meet your expectations. What did you learn from the experience? How would you do things differently next time?
This list- where would mine be beginning ?
That forgotten unfinished oil painting?
The blue cardigan awaiting its collar?
The value of the rupee to the dollar?
The Lil’ pile of books I have yet to read?
The jewellery I never started to bead?
The post PG Study leave that I did not take?
The lovely cakes I wanted to learn to bake?
—–
The holiday abroad Rajiv and I had planned?
The daily walks we had planned hand in hand?
The extra minutes I wanted to spend with my son?
The movie we were to see together on television?
The music classes I missed with my dear daughter?
That were planned weeks ago, now seem to matter!
————–
This list may never end, But for every list of dejection,
There is another list, a longer list of of joy and affection!
The love and tender warmth in my husband’s eye
The happiness in a friends voice, no money can buy.
The twinkle in my darling daughter’s eye,
The spring in his step as my son does fly!
The blessings of my mother feeling cared n loved
The smile of a patient , the bundle of joy she held !

Wow ! A dream come true!! What could be better?
A ready to occupy country house first on the letter.
With a library, an all night cafe and a home theater
The best of staff, the best of linen all causing a flutter!
From this lovely home, in a long sleek swanky shiny car
I would weave my way to the latest designer store afar!
Rubies, pearls n the long-awaited sparkling diamond necklace,
All in due time would in my treasure trove find a pride of place!
Shopping done, swathed in the best designer gown
To my waiting yacht I would take the road downtown.
And undergo in its spa a luxurious make-over,
As I allow the magicians there to take me over .
To look and feel like a million plus bucks,
My next stop – a few ‘instant’ tummy tucks.
The day culminating in an evening feeling divine
Amidst roses music, dim lights and exquisite cuisine.
As I magically find I have nimble feet
I and my love would dance to every beat.
Money cannot buy happiness they say?
They knew not where to shop and stay!
A spendthrift I am self confessed and accused
No better way to spend a day than discussed!
So bring it on, please bring it on
Let the music play on and on!
Retail therapy brings such untold joy
Would love to do this again and enjoy
Thank you WordPress for this lovely fluffy dream
May you bring more and more I daresay and scream!
Good night…..
I should have spoken of abstract options and emotions and all things nice … but today this is me ….. dreaming of material things and unapologetic about it! Ha ha!
