A to Z Challenge - writing with alphabets A to Z - one each day - is a real challenge. I have taken it twice in past. It was an enriching experience but an exhausting too. After a break of 3 yrs I'm back . This year I'll take four blogs a day.... different genre - different theme - different blog sites.
Crisp & Rhyming - the style that I love most - the poetic way .. what flows effortlessly. I'll take this as the style for this blog - I'll introspect and reveal - Right that's the theme - "REFLECTIONS" Learnings of Life, A poetic journey. I am sure , you would love this.
So now, stay with me - and this year enjoy the four blogs every day. A side from Reflections , there would be another poetry in HINDI. Aside from these there would be a food blog The Regional Cuisines of India & a fiction Life just in 5 Sentences.
In the past as the challenge I wrote travelogue - all about HimachalReflections from Adi - A to Z Challenge and made you travel throughout HP - the hill state of India. The next year I took two writings each day - One was my poetic journey Reflections on A to Z 2016 - Let the Soul Pour and the other was Festivals of India Reflections on A to Z 2016 - Festivals of India.
So spare some time and tell me how I fared.
I am sure you would love this ... keep chipping in.
30 days - 2 blogs a day – 52 blogs altogether in a month- exhausted
right!
True, it was lot of writing and sometimes you feel its pressure. But
with it comes lot of insights as you surf and search. And that’s what a writer
enjoys. His grey matter just needs more and more facts and feelings so that he
can widen his outlook and reflect. And I gained that.
This was my second year
so I went ahead to write two posts a day in two different genre – one prose
with subject – festivals of India and the second – poetry – tender and soulful. the experience with both of them were different.
A bit of lagging at times but at last all accomplished on 30th
April. That was great. So, at the end I would say I enjoyed this.
Talking about the poetry blog , I would like to mention that poetry for me needs a perfection. So I had a haunch at times that was writing a poetry every day affecting the quality. So I started giving more time to it - at times even the whole night. But at the end I thought I did justice. And best part was going through the poetry by some fellow bloggers.
So here goes the list: -- Poetry – let the soul pour
Now, looking forward to next year with more varied themes and participation,
in the meantime you all go through these and do put your comments. I’ll also
relax and go through the posts by other participant bloggers.
For the
reflection on festivals of India and its list:Festivals ofIndia

Note : Shape
Poetry is one in which the poetry takes the subject of the poetry. This makes
it one of the most inventive form. Therefore, if the subject of your poem were
of a flower, then the poem would be shaped like a flower. If it were of a fish,
then the poem would take on the shape of a fish. ><<<*>
That’s for today with Z . And thus comes the end of the Challenge. Some ups & Downs but still completed all words on time.
The
Katauta is an unrhymed Japanese form consisting of 17 or 19 syllables. The poem is a three-lined poem the following syllable counts: 5/7/5 or 5/7/7.
The Katauta form was used for poems
addressed to a lover. A single katauta is considered incomplete or a
half-poem, however, a pair of Katauta using the syllable count of 5,7,7 is
called a sedoka.
O dear, partner
sweet,
Far from world,
your heart I live,
Embraced,
blissed in safe abode.
With my
love chaste, clean,
I nurture,
treat, splurge, refresh,
Your
heart pure my heaven safe.
