A Plea
Heavenly Father we come to Thee, Hear our supplication and plea, Strengthen our faith no matter what we see, During these times of uncertainty. Sovereign Father let our every prayer, Will give us solace with your loving care, May you be with us now and forever, As we trust in Jesus Christ our redeemer. Amen. ************************************ – Joan Amorganda / #016-16032021 #Poem, Poetry, My Poem, Poetry Challenge, Quote, Quotes, Quotation, Quotations, Verse

My Take on “Paradise Lost”
“Paradise Lost” an epic poem by the English poet John Milton, A book bought from a quaint antique shop in Hunstanton. Chipped as it was still I gratefully and frenziedly acquired, Voluminous 1883 edition, to read it more time is required. A book widely popular among scholars many have told me, Reluctantly it took me ages to finally learn and see, Read that book “Paradise Lost”; it is a treat to behold. Take time to grasp its intended gist for what it foretold. So much to learn from this centuries-old literary piece, First published in 1667 hailed as Milton’s masterpiece. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the “Fall of…

Survivors!
Catching Covid-19 virus is a fear that is real, Nothing to be trifled with, it’s a very big deal. Getting a positive is a challenge and a test of will, Hoping & praying that your breath will not still. From far & wide well-wishers send prayers & support, Backed up with fruits & vegs that they kindly bought. They boost the morale in more ways than one, Thoughts dwell on when can we go out & feel the sun. The days of quarantine are disconcerting & long. Are they sure that they did not get the test so wrong? Finally, the call comes in to end the seclusion.…

Unlock the truth of the word taken. Taken, as in… Been taken, abruptly taken, already taken, successfully taken, taken for granted, unwillingly taken, waiting to be taken, assuming to be taken, hoping to be taken, mistakenly taken, continually taken, wrongly taken, happily taken. Do whatever is takes, embrace life. Do not take it for granted whether taken in, or taken out. At this point I’ll take a break; it’s now your take. ************************************************************* …

May the peace of God be upon us!
When we have the peace of Christ in our hearts, thankfulness overflows. Even in the darkest of times, we can praise Him for His love, and trust in His sovereignty. With a strong faith, no one can separate us from the love of God, that is revealed to us in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. *************************************************************************** – Joan Amorganda #009-09022021 > my poem, poem, poetry, quotes, quotation, quotations, pray, prayers

Making sense?
Surprised that for a time I wasn’t making sense. Thought that I was delusional, maybe even dense. On the contrary everything I uttered I felt was germane. But for a time I was speaking gibberish, was I insane? Still confused? Oh! I had high fever then, forget it not. Blame it to Covid-19 for what I had got. – Joan Amorganda #010-12022021 my poem, poem, poetry, quote, quotes, quotations, quotation

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
The book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is considered as the most endearing love story ever written in the English language. I have seen the BBC TV Series which stars Colin Firth as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. This version, according to some critics is the most faithful adaptation of the book (so far). Here is my take on Pride and Prejudice after re – reading the book and after watching the movie 2005 version of the same title. ******************************************************************************* “She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me…”! Seriously? Well, “what are men to rocks and mountains?” Imagining a blissful moment one afternoon tête-à–tête With Jane…
