245. Little Things

 Review 

Marvellous ❤️

Beautifully captures the essence of finding joy in the minutiae of everyday life. The strength of the piece lies in the specific and relevant images it contains, from a perfect eyeliner wing to the tribute to loved ones. Effectively utilizing rhyming couplets, it conveys a powerful message of gratitude and contentment with ease.❤️

g ❤️*Little things*Hey Priyanka @⁨Priyanka Kamath⁩ 

Your poem “Little Things” is like a heartfelt gratitude journal woven into verse. What I loved most is how you captured joy in such a wide spectrum of moments—from the sparkle of a winged eyeliner to the soulful act of feeding furry babies. It shows how beauty exists both in self-love and in kindness shared with others.

The couplets give the poem a rhythmic flow, almost like daily affirmations. Lines like “Daily catch up with my parents who are in heaven / A good tight sleep and waking up before seven” are especially touching—they carry so much e

motion, balancing memory, routine, and love with grace. 

There’s also a strong sense of spirituality throughout, which makes the poem shine brighter. I felt the mix of gratitude, simplicity, and faith blend beautifully, reminding us how little joys keep us grounded even in life’s challenges.

If I may suggest, a touch more polishing of rhyme in some places could make the flow even smoother—but honestly, the raw charm and sincerity are its real strength. 

Such a wholesome, uplifting piece—you made “little things” feel like big blessings. 

Beautifully expressed! 

With admiration,

~ Shivangi

I am someone who finds joy in little things 

Even an act of kindness in form of a simple smile gives me wings 

An email from an affectionate friend 

Letter writing is never out of trend 

That perfect wing eye liner and hairdo is a lovely feel

Entire day it ensures confidence and zeal 

Watching TV with loved one after a heavy day 

Writing a poem while commuting from office on the way 

Documenting my poetry certificates with poem in my blog appeals

Learning and posting new ways of doing reels 

Sharing my tit bits of learnings to someone who need

Seeing happiness in face of furry babies when I feed

Being grateful to this beautiful experiences God has been giving 

Letting go of any hurt to forget and forgiving 

Daily catch up with my parents who are in heaven 

A good tight sleep and waking up before seven

Doing my duty with love and grace 

Having faith in almighty in facing life's challenging phase 

These little moments makes life easier with mood uplifted 

Blessed and grateful for this little joys I am gifted !!!

244. Dillema

 

Dillema has certain feature

At times in my control and a good teacher 

The most treasured gift we have is this life 

Each breath we take is a valued precise 

Experiencing wheezing issue is one of the most tough time 

I feel out of control and also doubt if this life exist to be mine 

When life gets back to normal and I feel fine 

Struggling between life and death is a dilemma with thin line 

Will power is the X-factor which takes me to assurance route 

I need to build on my immunity, time for my system to reboot 

Let me give you an example on how controllable dillema looks like 

My previous manager in same company with whom my heart had gone on strike 

When I encountered her ,my dilemma was if to smile or turn my face 

But I needed to heal from within from all hurt and past phase 

So i smiled and a little kind gesture positive

Made the atmosphere fresh and alive 

Just like there is a winning moment after overcoming fear to core 

Overcoming controllable dillema leads to loving myself a little more 

Life is all about choices I make without fear 

Dillema occurs when mind is unclear 

Life comprise of clear path and doubtful minds fusion

So revisiting and foreseeing helps me overcome my confusion!!!

The powerful concept of dilemma is beautifully expressed to explore both life’s biggest challenges—like health concerns—and everyday, manageable challenges. The deep connection between physical struggles, mental clarity, and willpower is brilliantly highlighted.❤️

243. Story - Kindness isn't weakness

Review 

Dear Priyanka, @⁨Priyanka Kamath⁩ 

What a relatable and compelling narrative you’ve shared!

The opening instantly sets the scene — your cordial, smiling self contrasted against Mustafa’s bluntness feels painfully real. The simple act of holding the door, and the lack of acknowledgment, carries a quiet emotional weight that many readers will connect with.

The story unfolds smoothly, moving from a normal office morning into a subtle assertion of self-respect, and then — that calm yet firm response! It was unexpected yet perfectly fitting. The way you maintained professionalism while giving “a bit of his own medicine” keeps the tension alive and makes the moral hit even harder.

I especially liked:

The moral: “Kindness should never be mistaken for weakness, and sometimes quiet firmness speaks the loudest.” — powerful, thought-provoking, and memorable.

The pacing: from greeting → dismissal → calm response. It reads like a short, impactful life lesson.

A small suggestion: You could consider adding a tiny glimpse of your internal thought or emotion when Mustafa dismisses you — it could heighten reader empathy and make the scene even more immersive.

Overall, “Kindness Isn’t Weakness” is a strong, professional, and relatable piece. It takes a simple office moment and turns it into a lesson on respect, boundaries, and quiet strength.

With appreciation,

~ Shivangi

Powerful thought❤️

You handled a difficult situation gracefully and professionally, while sticking to your ground. It takes a lot of emotional intelligence to stay calm and deliver a strong message without escalating the conflict.

Highlighted a valuable lesson that kindness doesn’t mean giving in to others. It’s about keeping your cool and setting boundaries when others mistake your good nature for weakness, is commendable ❤️

Keep writing 

Keep shining ❤️

Kindness Isn’t Weakness

I’m usually the one with a smiling face in the office—always cordial, always kind. But sometimes, I feel that this goodness gets taken for granted.

This morning, as I entered the office, Mustafa was right behind me. Out of courtesy, I held the door open for him and greeted him with a warm “Good morning.” His response? Not a smile, not even a nod—just a blunt, “What is the status of the turbo invoice?”

I get it, we’re professionals and work conversations matter. But I’m not an AI. A simple greeting or smile doesn’t cost anything. Considering I wasn’t even at my desk yet, his approach felt dismissive and a bit mean.

Usually, I don’t speak up in such situations. But today, I did. I told him to send me an email. For someone who is “too professional” to even exchange a greeting, email feels like the right medium. I didn’t argue or raise my voice—I just gave him a bit of his own medicine, calmly.

Moral: Kindness should never be mistaken for weakness, and sometimes quiet firmness speaks the loudest.

The fog before my eyes hides God from view,

But clearing my clutter reveals the path true.

241. Word Sword

 Word Sword*

Review-Awesome ❤️

A beautiful portrayal of the power of language and its impact on personal relationships, especially with in-laws, with a catchy title. The journey from the “sweetest” flattery to the “hurtful” flattery is effectively depicted and the harsh truth that words can cause wounds that even “forgiveness” cannot heal is revealed. The various uses of words—flattery, candor and diplomacy—are beautifully categorised and the conclusion is that diplomacy is the most challenging but valuable skill in managing relationships. It is a reminder that even though physical wounds heal, the “sharp feeling” of words can linger for a long time, making their careful use a vital life skill.❤️

Keep inspiring ❤️

At times I am too sweet with word

When angry I can be bitter and absurd

There are three categories of words

One is being too direct with zero flattering 

Other is completely buttering 

Final one- word diplomatically uttering 

Words, like arrows ,when too direct 

Diplomatic words has scope to further disect

As my alliance was fixed I was too sweet to my in-laws

And then slowly I started finding flaws

From being happy to being grumpy bee

My word play too faced its own journey

There was a time when I was hurtful to my in-laws as my words kicks it 

I realised my mistake but a sorry couldn't fix it 

I may do 99 good things and well wished 

But it's human nature to remember 1 that was missed

So visible wounds can still heal 

But words has sharper feel

Now we speak , smile and have a good time 

I only hope that with time they feel fine 

out of word play the most easiest is to flatter 

Being honest needs solid heart as choice of words also matter 

The most challenging category is being diplomatic 

As this quality will help me sustain any situation that can be problematic 

Word is a valuable skill 

If not used wisely it has potential to relations kill !!!
