with my family
and friends
There is
so much fun
absorbing
all happiness
Excluding
worries
until
cruise hit giant rock
Commotion
in air
all
scattering here and there
I was
left alone
in a
skimmed, dull and rough boat
I looked
in river
to see
the depth and was scared
My
reflection smiled
I didn’t,
amazed looked again
It was a
message
from my
own calm reflection
Trust
self, keep courage
hearing this
I gathered nerve
Rowed
till my arm drain
reaching
the deserted shore
When stepping
from boat
looked
again at reflection
This time
perfect smile
was
reflecting from my face
Content I
thanked reflection.
This form of poetry is Choka, the classical Choka is formed by writing 5-7 syllables couplets for as many lines as you like ending however with an extra 7 syllable line.

This is a really interesting story! You really ran with the choka -- it looks like you really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Thank you. Yes Choka writing was so much fun.
DeleteA fun read. So much to gain from all of our experiences. Including confidence in ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI played differently with this prompt here:

True a lot to gain from experiences, I consider reflection as a book keeper of life, which never lies to us.
DeleteSurely I will visit your post :)
Nice reflections!
