Cliche

prompt6.jpg
Hope you had a nice week.
It is nice that my writing exercise is improving.
For this week,
I am supposed to find the 'cliche' I can think of.
And am to construct a poem keeping cliche as the first sentence.
The cliche I can think of is:
moving finger writes
Moving finger writes,
figuratively I think less
literal, understand a bit
The fingers I want to move fast.

Hold a pen for long.
The finger movements are not strong. 
Stare at the screen like hell.
Fingers don't tap the words fall.

Keep seeing my phone.
Thumbs ache to move.
The lousy brain up above
Don't command the fingers to move.
More information on cliche.
A cliché or cliche (UK /ˈkliːʃeɪ/ or US /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel. (Wikipedia definition)

cliche: A phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. For example: "One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure."

Lovely quote to end this week. Happy September to you all.

Relevant skill The one skill that will probably never go out of fashion is the skill to be able to acquire new skills BY VARALOTTI RENGASAMY "Ma, why do we have such long legs?" a baby camel once asked his mother. "So that we can keep our legs firmly in the desert sand and walk with ease," the mother replied. "And why the big hump at the back?" "We walk in deserts and may go days on end without water. We store our water there in that hump, dear." "And what are these thick, long eye-lashes for?" "To prevent the desert sand from hurting our eyes especially when there are sand storms." Another dozen questions in the same vein were rationally answered by the mother camel. And then came the unanswerable last question: "Then what the hell are we doing in the Mysore Zoo?" Most of our students, especially those coming out of engineering colleges, are like these camels — imprisoned in the wrong place with irrelevant skill-set...

Draft not saved

how is this? Yesterday, I wrote a lengthy blog, taking some inspiration from my friend here. Brett. Forgot to give it a title, saved as a draft. And lo, the entry was not saved. Wrote, about the absence of my mother and my sons mother. Told in the blog that we had a lot of time of our own. Just want to enclose a sound, where I was reading something about shyness in Tamil to my son (recorded on 25-12-2010 ) questions.amr

Reading quotations for motivation. Good or Bad?

Image
after all these mad scribblings are about good bad and searches! Reading too many quotations sometimes is like over eating. The mind becomes unclear and wanders restless...(sometimes becoming very blank) It is the stage when I feel: 'reading quotations is useless' Some time ago I made an attempt to have just four quotations ready - just like some instant energy giver - to motivate me any time. Searching quotations, with the aim to short list for instant energy giving - the mind was blocked - making myself to quote: "reading quotations is of no benefit" At this stage I thought, let me have one quotation - just one - to motivate me any time....... I got this one: Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
