Sonnet XXI
So is it not with me as with that Muse Stirr’d by a painted beauty to his verse, Who heaven itself for ornament doth use And every fair with his fair doth rehearse Making a couplement of proud compare, With sun and moon, with earth and sea’s rich gems, With April’s first-born flowers, and all…

The call of the water
Daily Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/have-you-never-been-mellow/ My escape has always been water. My Mom loves to tell the story of the time we went to the beach when I was around 5 years old with our Church. In Trinidad, at the time, most Pentecostal churches had a retreat or getaway during Carnival time. On the final day of said…

Holy Grail
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/prompt-sleep/ I’ve been fortunate to not be in a situation where I’ve ever over heard ill will directed toward me. However I have been in a situation where I made a realization that a young lady I thought was a friend was not and of course; I’ll explain. So. I won’t say her name, it’s…

The Rise of Internet Media Houses
One of the most talked about shows right now is House of Cards, which is a Netflix original (well, actually we stole it from England like most of our other good shows) and to finally have a show that’s premium channel (HBO, Starz) quality but at the flat rate of your Netflix subscription is rewarding.…

Beauty of Silence
When I was a little girl I had a lot of time with my thoughts. I could sit on the verandah of our house and pretend that a chain of events occurred that allowed me governance over everything I could see. I would pass laws and observe people as they walked by, most of them…

The first time I fell in love
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/daily-prompt-its-friday-im-in-love/ It should be no secret that the first time I fell in love, it would be with a character from a book but the first time I fell in love with a book; it was a more memorable occasion. I was in High School in America and my English Teacher had told us only…

E-Book Resources
Since I gave in to the almighty E-book I’ve been looking for ways to save money on books. I was sad to lose the idea of free borrows until my Library started offering E-books and I have a few resources to share. E-books in general are usually a sliver cheaper so it does help you…

Your turn to wash the dishes
While I love cooking, I hate washing dishes. Yes, hate. The “deal” in my household is whoever cooks, is absolved from washing dishes. This still doesn’t work because I hate washing dishes, even on the days when I didn’t cook. I can’t identify what it is about the task itself that I hate; but I…

Humanizing Man-Hood – Vin Diesel’s cover of Stay
I woke up to something that really warmed my heart. Mr. Diesel plays one of my favorite characters; Riddick. This video is the one in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5t-CmCwhZo My first reaction? I was trying to harmonize with him, he needed some back up. He was on pitch (when he was singing in the right octave) and seemed…

Writing through the Blues
So if you’re on twitter you know the phrase “tweet through it”; that kind of sums up what I’m trying to do with this blog. I have this problem with consistency when the negative feelings about myself and my writing creep in. 2013 was such a tough year for my family and I and I…

Memories : Pictures and Phone Calls
Growing up in the Caribbean in the 90s with limited technolgy meant that every day things like watching TV and taking photographs were a luxury. I remember my class mates assuming that my family was rich because at one point, we had a TV and a telephone at our house. Part of the weekend culture…
