Stanzaic Stylings

Two little blackbirds searching diligently for fallen twigs Determined to build a cozy home for their offspring Marvel, the tomcat, rolls on his back cherished by the mild April sun Mom and I are sitting on the terrace, drinking fresh made coffee I love the soothing fragrance of the lilacs and hyacinths A natural aromatherapy for the mood and nerves A while ago, our family was struck down when my mom was diagnosed with this horrible fatal disease The world looked harsh, the days painted in somber, dark gray Since that day, we decided every new day was a little present Mom and I are admiring the fresh green color of the young sprouts of the birch trees in our garden as the postman arrives and hands mom a letter 'Complete remission' Springtime, the season of reawakening and miracles

Torrid sincerity If I could build a bridge out of sunshine And only sincere-hearted people could cross it without getting the soles of their feet burned How many would beg for a rain shower to ease the pain ... Probably I would make a nice profit, selling burn ointments and blister plasters at the opposite side © Daginne Aignend Bio Daginne Aignend is a pseudonym for the Dutch poetess Inge Wesdijk.

Self infliction It's a pestering virus disturbing my brain waves. A continuous silent command compelling myself to elevate into higher levels, even when it wears me out, makes me sleepless and restlessly insecure The worst epiphenomenon of  this ambitious virus is DOUBT Doubt of one's own ability. When successes fail the inner self  crashes into a severe downfall, resulting in unmitigated apathy ... I think I will sleep for days now. © Daginne Aignend Bio Daginne Aignend is a pseudonym for the Dutch poetess Inge Wesdijk. She likes hard rock music, photography and fantasy books.
