Only A Week To Go…

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Serene

Summer greetings!

I am just so excited for the first year birthday of my blog. I am still confused how to celebrate the day so, in the meantime, here’s a few pictures from my current projects (:

1. Habul’s Diary

So meet Habul, who lives at Calcutta, and here’s a little snip from his “digital bullet journal”.

2. A Love Journal By Hamza And Shi

*So these two guys are the most lovey-dovey guys, real sweeties and hard work though*

A Few Questions For You…

What do you think about these? Do you keep diaries or journals for your characters?
How long have you been blogging? How did you celebrate your first blogging birthday?
What would you like to see in Den of Dreams?
Thank you so much for reading (: Warmest regards and have a great day/night ahead.

What Pegman Saw: When You’re Gone

Posted on June 7, 2020 by Serene

Much thanks to J Hardy for hosting this amazing challenge of What Pegman’s Saw. This week, we’re off to Chechnya Russia.

When You’re Gone

An icy spell hovered by the clouds,

With nothing but snow all around,

Hamza dragged his boots into the snow,

He didn’t know what to do, or where to go,

He wore nothing to make him warm,

Only dark thoughts swam

Round his mind, only darkness lingered.

His heart felt more frozen than his limbs,

His mind felt more numb than his fingers.

He looked into the skies,

Drew back, a sigh,

And whispered into the air,

The words no-one could hear,

“When you’re gone, my world feels more bleak

Than all the winters at peek,

My heart has dried like all these leafless trees,

And I won’t mourn if one day I shall freeze

For when you’re gone,

I’m all alone,

No beauty is appealing,

No cure is healing,

No bird seems to sing,

For my darling, you, and only you, is my spring.”

This week Pegman takes us to Portsmouth in Hampshire, UK. This location was suggested by the talented Kelvin M Knight. Be sure to check out Kelvin’s blog where you’ll find articles, flash fiction and short stories. Also check out his author page on Amazon where you can pick up copies of his short story collections. Thanks for the great suggestion, Kelvin!

The Pegman challenge is simple. All you need to do is write up to 150 words inspired by the location–be it poetry, prose, or essay. You can use the exact location provided above, or take your own tour of Portsmouth using Google Maps. Once your piece is polished, share it with others at the linkup below. Reading and commenting is part of the fun!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

A Voyage To Unknown

I walked alone on the deserted port,

I missed your voice and laughs beside my side;

In and out came the tides,

Sweeping in memories.

You are gone, I don’t know where;

You have taken half the sphere,

that I call ‘My world’.

I remember all those rubbish theories

You told about love.

It’s not there, I tell myself, it never had been.

The sea water gleams,

By sunlight beside the ship.

I must go, I tell myself,

to a voyage far away,

to a voyage to unknown.
