What are some life hacks that you practice?

Perhaps a quick solution,

With definitely no confusion,

To simplify my life each day,

Is to ignore most of what people say,

Rather than  let them talk at you,

Take a walk that’s what I do,

There are plenty of fish in the sea,

Don’t let anyone diss your sanity

Do you believe in karma?

Karma is and comes around,

Whether you believe it,

lt  is soul bound,

Tied to us like a religious hound,

It yaps and tells us we better do good,

And help our Community and Neighbourhood,

When we do it will all work out,

And we won’t have to worry about nout,

It’s a state of mind we should all aim for,

A beautiful status for the hereafter,

Karma is a choice you have to take,

It doesn’t happen if all you do is take.

How do you write what people actually want to read?

I don’t think people have the time to read,

Unless they do it at their leisure or because of

need,

A document, a list of things to do, an exam text,

A lot of reading makes you vexed.

To write what people want just misses the point,

As beneficial as giving an addict  another joint,

Write what needs to be written ,what you know

in your heart,

To gain readers that is surely a good start.

What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?

Is spontaneity useful?I don’t know,

A lot of it is lack of thought or just for show,

Running down the street with a bunch of flowers,

Laughing when the moment sours,

Trying to get someone’s attention,

Like giving that teacher a special mention,

And though you didn’t realise it yet,

You were of course the teacher’s pet,

To say “I love you “made everyone sick

My classmates even called you  thick!

I suppose the thought of praise made them

cringe,

But on that comment your marks did hinge.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading 🙏

How do you make time for self-care?

Self-Care is a modern past time

In simpler times it was a fun thing to do,

Now it’s  essential ,a form of ritual mime,

From exercise to exfoliation we form a queue,

If we are lucky we can do it all at home,

We have lists of preparations and things to do,

Organic face packs and some seaweed

foam,

An oxygen sauna with a sonic groom,

To be honest the list could go on forever,

It takes up time and becomes  a harbinger of

doom,

Where will it end? Well never say never.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

What’s a place you visited that felt like home?

A house,a Country ,A Planet ,A Universe.

Everywhere is a home in a sense,

We try and build bricks,mortar and fences,

To satisfy our ownership senses,

But step outside your safety bubble,

And home can be a pile of rubble,

There are ‘sayings a many’to give us direction,

Define our home under serious reflection,

I’ve had many homes and they are all me,

Alone or with life ,love and family,

The World is what it’s all about,

Home is everywhere we cannot doubt,

A welcome mat is a necessity,

A closed door is just plain mockery.

What’s one thing you wish you had started doing earlier in life?

Earlier in life?

Well I suppose if I’d done yoga as a baby,

I might not be so lazy,

I might have been a Paris Model,

And even managed a tuneful yodel,

Everything would be toned and relaxed,

And my articulate joints wouldn’t feel pole-axed

So earlier in life that’s what I’d choose,

Instead of suffering the “sore joint blues.”

If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?

My immediate thought was Tamagotchi,

Which came into being,

When I was just a teen,

The ultimate plastic pet,

That never needed a real vet

It had to be fed, nursed and really loved,

Or into the scrap heap it was shoved,

It would look up at you with doleful eyes,

And smile if you gave it a nice surprise,

There were playground crises,

If you forgot it’s ricicles,

Regular meals were part of the ritual,

Even if they were only virtual,

I never had one and didn’t fall into the trap,

Their future was to become an app,

However, they took the Marketing World by

storm,

Some collected them as friends in their dorm,

The sad thing was they often died

No matter how much you tried,

It was really a clever ploy,

To make you buy another toy ,

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose?

A fictional character for a week?

Would(for me) would be like playing hide and

seek,

You see I think I’d go back in time,

To be Robinson Crusoe would be just fine,

I’d live his moments every day,

And handle my troubles magnificently,

I’d build my house alone on my Island,

And be happy to make Man Friday my friend,

I’d show the world what mettle I had,

And when the week was over I’d be quite glad.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏
