I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel


Arms hurt, fingers numb
Diligence paid off and so
Elation I feel

Hey, there! Thank you for the lovely comment. I've been good Alhumdulillah. What about you? Your latest poetry that I read was really good. Didn't get a chance to comment though,thing is my laptop has been taken for awhile and this even is a five minute thing. Hope to get back to you pretty soon. Love always.

OLIVIA! I miss you Much more!!!!!!!!!!!  And how dare you even suggest that I could forget you?! I know I've been away for a long time. (had guests, cousins actually, been away from the internet much) But I would never forget you! I'm so happy that you love this :))) And, wow you get to play soccer. It's the one sport I would play if I could, but no opportunity. Anyway, Guess what I totally feel like doing right now?? Showing you a picture of this wall that I wrote about. It does look spectacular. All well, hard work :P  Hmmm,, that sure sucks... how about reading some of your favourite books all over again. That always inspires me, or maybe music. And well, nowadays, I totally feel like writing about my travel experiences. So I posted one of them. You should read and tell me how you like it, maybe you could write one of your own....? Love you always. P.S. Don't ever say "not sure if you remember me" !

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

And that dearie, is what hiakus are for. Beating each and everyone on of your thoughts into a 575 meter and posting them to the internet. Greatest invention by the Japanese yet, Even better than anime!

Nice job! I love that feeling of satisfaction after doing something hard too. Even if it hurts! And contrary to what you think, I believe it sounds very poetic :)
