Sometimes
the love that blooms for a person
years after their demise might be
undoubtedly echt and unfeigned!

Sometimes
deciding what you
DON'T need seems
to be more difficult
than deciding what
you DO need!

If not for Jesus and the grace
that is bestowed upon, most
people would have died of guilt...
guilt alone!
©my_clouds_pour_words -
One man's wrongdoing is less
likely to dissipate a family than
the presumptuous righteousness
of the entire lot!

Goodness
comes only by practice-
and practice ain't possible
without God! Period.

Absurdity!
Disciplining a child to
develop qualities that
you don't exhibit yourself
is like trying to paint the
sky blue with a bottle of
red paint!

Laugh with a light heart!
Not everyone will dance to the same tune you're dancing. Yes, you heard that right! The beats that force your feet to tap, the strings that raise your pulse and the lyrics that speak volumes of your emotions may always cause numbness in others. What most people fall short of these days is the in-born attitude to respect the decisions of others. Enmity and hatred never fail to sprout where unapproved choices are made. Selections may not always succeed; sometimes we fall down in the process of picking up stuff and that's okay! Yes, you heard that right this time too! Stumbling is alright as long as you steady yourself, erring is alright as long as you even out yourself, failing is alright as long as you forgive yourself! Always remember, life is not about the choices we make; it's not about the ones we do not make as well. Life is all about love, love is all about respect and respect is all about unconditional acceptance!
Nevertheless, laugh with a light heart!

Progression either
begins with or
ends in regression-
always!

Sometimes
as the global clock ticks past several silent
and tied up years, those whose souls we
once thought were close-knit with ours, flee
out of our lives and off the beaten track-
vanishing away like lifeless vapors in midsky
from our dejected memory lanes of existence!

May JEHOVAH GOD bless your youth!
Oh youth of the day!
Why you dismayed!!
Who on you tell me
false spread?
Those popular in TV's
why do you copy?
We all in life have
by god distinct trophies!
Oh maiden woman
and young man.
Time and age
you have big life span!
Enjoy your life
but be quite cautious!
Never spoil with bad & fool
your soul so precious!
Use your time wisely
set useful goals!
Thus your life later
will be happily fulfilled!
Never chase crowd
or those popular in screen!
What is on TV's & movies
beloved is not real thing!
Love your parents
they gave you very life!
Listen to them
be cool when you explain!
Love your parents whole heartedly
It will give you blessings
that nothing else can contain!
Cling to God JEHOVAH
always happy,
you will never be negative!
Learn & lean on GOD JEHOVAH
be hopeful & be positive!

HABITUAL
I make my bed
Just to make a mess of it
Clothes on my closet folded neat
But because i love chaos
One or two will lie around
I feel when i get to the end
Like i could borrow a little more time
Just to do nothing
But when time is around
I make no good use of it

She wanted to explode like a supernova and spill as stardust into the midnight firmament, every glittery speck adding to the beauty of the night sky.

Only if nights could hide all your fears and
days could bring you all the hopes,
maybe then you would dare to see that
sunsets ain't actually goodbyes and
horizon was never the limit.

Heart thudding, I went through the contents of the chest, the wardrobes, and drawers. I couldn't find them. Despair threatened to break me, tears about to spill from my eyes. I stopped for a minute, breathing deeply. Then I resumed my search for those age-old photographs and letters, those poems which you had written for me, those sentences full of lies. Even after all this time, it hurts. Even after all this time, I know it'll break me if I lose these mementos, because even though you've left, I was never the one to just forget and move on. Because I was never the one who'd let things go. I am the kind of person who knows that my memories will come back to haunt me. And I will let them.

So the other day, as I was vacuuming my den of iniquity (that's how I lovingly refer to my home ����), I was pondering what to do for the next challenge. I'm not one to offer the same old/same old, day in and day out. I like to come up with new ways to develop our skills, as well as stretch us and grow us as both individuals and writers. Fortunately, I have a rather large imagination, and a fair amount of creativity when it comes to writing, so coming up with ideas hasn't been an issue. So, there I was, ankle deep in pet fur, a vast assortment of food crumbs, and an ocean of unidentified miscellaneous paraphernalia, when I thought to myself "Hey! Why not host a challenge in which 'den of iniquity' is the challenge phrase?! After all, it's such a fantastic phrase and it has unlimited possibilities in regard to writing!" And wouldn't you know it, I decided to take my own advice for once, and here we are! How's that for visualization and manifestation, eh?? I know, I know. Calm down. I'm excited too, but let's not go overboard. Ahem. At any rate, I should probably work on visualizing world peace next... or wait... maybe a Nobel prize... or perhaps a Pulitzer! I wouldn't mind one of those hanging on the wall! Then again, considering my current term of endearment for my home, perhaps I'd be wise to visualize a live-in cleaning crew! Yeah, I think I'll start there! ��
And now for the challenge info:
▪MANDATORY PROMPT PHRASE, which must be used in your piece. The phrase is 'den of iniquity.' Here comes a definition...
Den of iniquity: A place in which immoral or illegal things occur.
▪IMAGE: There are no image requirements. Use any you prefer, or none at all.
▪TIME FRAME: The challenge will run for about 24 hours from the time this is posted. Once I've marked the image and caption as 'CLOSED,' no more submissions will be accepted.
▪HASHTAG INFO: Please use the following hashtag for this challenge only (and please DO NOT use my challenge hashtags for anything other than challenge submissions), with the correct spelling: #ceesdenofin
Alright y'all, that oughta cover it. I'd better get back to cleaning this iniquitous den! ����
Happy writing!
P.S. No, that is NOT my house in the image! Thank goodness!! ��
*Image credited to the unfortunate rightful owner. Pray for them! ��
P.S.S. Holy Smokes!! 62 writers submitted a piece to yesterday's self-love challenge! How wonderful!! If yours hasn't been reposted yet, fear not; I'm still making my way through them. Thank you for your participation! ��

Real World Edition: Admin Carolyn lays down the law. Anarchists beware!
#mirakee #writersnetwork #ceesdenofin #ceeslovmonCHALLENGE REMINDERS:
▪Out of courtesy to myself and others, DO NOT submit a piece to a challenge that's been marked as 'CLOSED.' Once a challenge is closed, I'm busy working on the next challenge. Late entries delay that process. Otherwise, please don't expect your piece to be read and reposted.
▪Read ALL DIRECTIONS to the challenge you're participating in, and BE SURE TO FOLLOW THEM. If not, it defeats the purpose of the challenge.
▪Make sure that you INCLUDE THE HASHTAG for the challenge you're participating in, and double/triple check the spelling. Tagging my account is often unreliable, so it's IMPERATIVE that you have the correctly spelled hashtag in your caption area.
▪DO NOT use my hashtags for any purposes other than a challenge submission. When people hashtag miscellaneous stuff to my challenges, it means I have to sort through pieces that have no business being there. HASHTAGS BELONG TO THE PERSON THAT CREATED THEM, AND ARE NOT TO BE USED BY OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES. Be respectful! Enough said.
Following these rules helps me to run and host the challenges in a more timely and efficient manner; therefore, your cooperation benefits not only me, but yourself as well. I thank you in advance for your support in this regard.
*Reposts are appreciated.
Blessings,
Carolyn -

THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED
LOVIN' MYSELF MONDAY CHALLENGE
Hey what up all you magnificent Mirakeeans!? Happy Monday! How y'all doin' tonight?! Yeah? Good! Me too! ��
So, welcome to the 'Lovin' Myself Monday' challenge. That's unofficial, by the way. I didn't seek the approval of my local congresswoman or the state senator or anything like that in order to declare this 'Lovin' Myself Monday.' I just sort of went ahead and did it. So, hopefully I won't get into any trouble! They're welcome to try and stop me, but they'll have to sit through one of my lengthy lessons on the importance of self-love first. My guess is that somewhere around the midway point, they'll go "Fine! Call it whatever the heck you want! Just let me out of here!!" ����
Ok, ok. I know. I'm digressing. So, let's get to it, shall we? Here come the rules. Please read them carefully. ��
CHALLENGE RULES: This is a phrase prompt challenge with the intention of supporting and promoting a healthy sense of self-love, self-worth, self-respect, and an overall healthy self-esteem. There are three challenge phrases, all of which must be used in your piece, which can be poetry or prose. Pair your piece with the image of your choice such as a favorite photo of yourself; or if preferred no image at all, as that's not a requirement.
CHALLENGE PHRASES: Each of the following three phrases must be incorporated into your piece, and the piece itself must be autobiographical in nature. You will also provide an answer to each phrase. Remember, this challenge is about YOU.
-I am beautiful because...
-I am proud of myself because...
-I am worthy because...
Inflated egos need not apply. There is a glaring difference between egoic behavior versus a healthy self-esteem. Egoic thinking is borne of either an overinflated or underinflated self-esteem, and it thinks in terms of "I" and "me." A healthy self-esteem acknowledges NOT ONLY one's own unlimited, immeasurable worth, but also that of others, and tends to think in terms of "us" and "we." An egoic mindset believes that it has to establish itself at the top and be better than everyone; whereas the mindset of a healthy self-esteem has no need of that and understands that we all shine beautifully together. Can I get an "amen"?? Woot! ✊����
DURATION: The challenge will run for approximately 24 hours from the time of posting, and is over once I've marked the image and caption as 'CLOSED.' Once I've done that, please refrain from submitting anything. Many thanks.
MANDATORY HASHTAG SO THAT I CAN FIND YOUR SUBMISSION: #ceeslovmon
Ok, I'm gonna leave you to it. Happy writing beautiful people! ��✍

Artist
I was born, on a special day
In Kentucky the thoroughbreds, ran their famous race
My birth seemed destined, to coincide with that
Because my father and grandfather, loved the track
So in bliss my father, named me after his
Straight from the womb I was an artist
When I was young, I lived on the basketball court
I dominated everyone, when I played the sport
I developed my own style, as I mastered the game
The crowds all cheered, and chanted my name
They never saw anyone, perform these moves
I beat my chest with my fist
In every arena I was an artist
But Papa and I, both wrong, disageed, routine!
So I ended up, leaving home at fifteen
Said goodbye to my dream, at the drop of a hat
And became a supervisor, how about that
When twenty-one, at my job I was the best
Even at this I was an artist
I fell in love three times, but one was special
Inside and out, she was exceptional
It didn't work out, so we broke it off one day
We still love each other, just in a different way
Nobody has a friendship, quite like this
I held on to her like an artist
So I tried my hand, at penning verse
My writings and poems, are so diverse
It took poetry to make me finally realize
When I look back, and reflect on this list
I have always lived life as an artist
The positivity you find, always absorb
Leave negativity, for the miserable hordes
When the insults start to compile
Forgive each one with a smile
When life is dark, paint it vibrant
When life is light, be in alignment
Always keep the Lord, in the mix
This is how to live life, as an artist
