This week Poets And Storytellers United gave us the interesting prompt to write a ten liner poem.

My take :

Sauted by ambitions
Marinated in dreams
Slow cooked by experience
Spiced up by hope
Cut and dried at times
Chopped and churned often
Bleached and blanched
Fried on high flame of expectations
Baked sometimes over baked
Grilled and microwaved

I have lived life on my own terms that’s for sure

    It paints a picture of something (a life, a career, a project) that is intensely prepared and processed—sometimes perfectly, sometimes under high stress—but ultimately seasoned by hope.
    Good one Geeta ❤️
