Eat Vegetable

Good
Essential for health
Best to eat

Grab a bite
Yucks!
Bitter!
But . . .
Forcing myself
To gulp vegetables
On my plate

Day by day
Year by year
Live with such taste
But . . .
At my twelfth year
My tongue doesn’t taste
Bitter vegetables

The fresh leafs of vegetables
Reaps delicious taste
Rich feelings of enjoyment
Crushing vegetables with my teeth
Tasting every pieces of it passing by my tongue
Before entering the throat

Upon interacting with Y Prior, Be With Us, Sharmishtha Basu and Toni Andruikitas about their vegetables consumption experiences (at my Body & Stomach Needs poetry), it struck me to tap upon my younger age experiences in vegetables.  It is a memorable event. Thanks to them for bringing out my memories. Wish you all have good days and thank you.

Springboard

A rubbery board
Waiting for hopper
To hop and bounces up
Giving hopper fun and enjoyment
But only to a certain extent

Avoiding exerting too much force
Exert more force
The more the hopper bounces
But the hopper may hit the ceiling
Or the hopper may landed with accident

Beware of the
Springboard
Use cautiously

The idea of springboard came whenever I remembered the scene in Pingu animation where he jumps on the springboard.

Sleepy

Head feels heavy
Mind feels sleepy
Heavy eyelids wanting to close
Aching left shoulder
Fighting against drowsiness
Forcing a smile
Weak steps.

Due drinking herbal tea, I couldn’t sleep for a night. My husband and I brought our toddler out to a shopping mall since afternoon until night. Around 8pm plus, the above symptoms occurred upon me. Seems that my body couldn’t take it anymore. My body just want to hibernate. But I kept on fighting to keep myself awake in order to make the trip enjoyable. Unexpectedly, my husband noticed as were about to go home.
