DAZZLING DECEMBER DREAMS

            DAZZLING DECEMBER DREAMS

Scintillating icy stars and snowbow prisms on winter sky edge

Mistletoe kisses! Oh! Jolly surprises

To pirouette in my ivory gown of tiffany lace and silver-toed ballerina slipper

December dream wishes of shine and shimmer


Larch and Alder trees whispering charming fairy tales

Munching on gingerbread cookies, rum-raisin cakes soaking in citrusy glaze

Fragrant pines adorned with baubles, trinkets and glitter

December dream wishes of shine and shimmer 


Festoons of bonny lambs with downy fleece

Stollens loaded with nuts and candied peels

Macadamia panettone and marzipans dusted with royal icing sugar

December dream wishes of shine and shimmer


Ivy vines and eucalyptus wreaths perfuming every corner

Cranberry garlands and bouquets of lavender

Sipping mulled plum wine while caroling around a toasty bonfire 

December dream wishes of shine and shimmer 


Decadent Brownie fudge sundae drizzled with brandy

Snowmen of shredded coconut holding sticks of pink cotton candy

Winter moon brightening silver-blue skies– a lustrous opaline chandelier

December dream wishes of shine and shimmer 


Shakes of eggnog and cakes of yule log

Apricot skies at dawn rolling in silken fog

Ride along with Santa Claus in his reindeer sleigh

To the North Pole singing Ho-Ho-Ho all the way !

GOLDILOCKS: THE LOCKE MANSION

SANGEETHA KAMATH
  This is a reimagined version of the popular fairy tale ' Goldilocks and the Three Bears.' This retelling is a part of the Write A Page A Day event on Blogchatter starting Feb 1 thru 28th to reach a total word count of 10K by the month end.                              CHAPTER 1                    LOCKE HAVEN ESTATE  The sky bled bruises of plum and cherry over the rolling hills. A full moon hung low against the mauve, casting silver shards through the skeletal trees. The mansion made of cold greystone loomed large beyond the rusted iron gates. It grated on the gravel, rasped on the hinges and yawned open like a predator's jaw as Goldwynn booted it open with her foot. Her sneakers squished heavily on the mulch of dead leaves. Clutching her backpack, she looked up at the towering, grim structure forebodingly.  "Are you sure you want to do this, Go...

GOLDILOCKS: THE BEWITCHED WOODS

SANGEETHA KAMATH
This story is a reimagined version of the popular fairy tale 'Goldilocks And The Three Bears' and is a part of the event Write A Page A Day on Blogchatter for the month of February.                              CHAPTER 2  The trees pierced the sky like steeples, their gossamer branches blurred out high against the dusk. The luminescent creepers that entwined them pulsed like embers of bonfire in the dwindling light.  Mists thick with musk and sun-bleached pine, swirled around their trunks and veiled the forest floor in pillowy waves. The earthy smell of decaying leaves and damp moss made Goldwynn’s senses reel.  Disheveled, she scrambled to her feet, her heart racing like the devil.  The Locke mansion was nowhere to be seen – The cavern had spat her out like a bitter aftertaste. Her ears strained to hear some sign of life.  “ Where am I .. and where in the blimey is Locke Mansion...!" her...

  # Prompt4 A Shout-out and Appreciation post to someone who helped me as a creator.  The Universe doesn't at all work in mysterious ways. It works exactly as it was meant to roll out for me. The riptides of 2025 were all engulfing. But fighting a losing battle was never an option. I had to surface tearing through it all. SM had taken a laid-back seat with me lounging in the tangible priorities I had to tackle in the 3D world.  Instagram had been a secondary preference even otherwise with FB taking the front row of all time whenever I was regular on social media. Insta was a tool--totally non existent for years to come except for a couple of times since creating it but in August I opened this long forgotten wardrobe and found some unexpected treasures in there. Here was a creator who delivered dynamically in her audience interaction. And sensibly with great clarity as well. A nonsense, a non-controversial and someone who didn't whine and howl in a perceived victim mode. J...

AI 'n' I (Part 2 to DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER)

SANGEETHA KAMATH
  Ok! So Babylou was so flustered after the hoodie fiasco when we arrived home, that for a couple of days she trailed behind her a chain reaction of an awfully mentally drained me–upon seeing her tireless emotional highs and lows, day in and day out. Clutching at the last straws of my already depleting sanity with the incessant grousing, I told her that I would ask AI to do a tarot card reading for the hoodie and its unfortunate pilfer ( to humor her, to close and seal this annoying chapter for good!) My ability to reason with her had explored all avenues and had horribly crashed to a naught. However, AI did a fab job ! It told me that the petty thief would soon get her karma !  How ? Pat came the 'bot'ic response. She will trip and fall face down in a puddle of muddy water... Harmless. Not a tit for tat but was enough to make me go into fits of uncontrollable laughter.  My next obvious question--- How will I know when that happens? I won't  be around to watch that ...

SILKEN CONFETTI

SANGEETHA KAMATH
  Theme: Meandering thru the Meadows                      SILKEN CONFETTI July sun brings with it a masterpiece of green and honeyed stalks Wildflowers in the meadows and satiny clover carpets our walks Summer is a ballroom which invites all the belles Like a true love's kiss, primroses bloom blushing tangerine at the tips Poppies stand in contrast against the green A brilliant hue which rivals the summer sun like a diva in velvety sheen Upon the knolls the daisies sway and waltz to the choir of the zephyr Rabbits scamper about my feet in all frolic and fervour Every bloom of aster is a riot of purples and magenta Petals of silk brush against me like exotic fabrics taffeta From the rain-drenched mud sprout golden clusters  Buttery blooms of radiant yellows a muse for poets and songwriters Meadows are a happy song of spring orchestra  Green waves splattered with polka dots of varicoloured plethora  Meandering thro...
