Poetry by Dr. Gabriella Korosi
“Laing in bed with serenity Quietly humming into the night. Waiting for the moment, When the dreams take me.”

“Nature speaks to us in many ways Beautiful plants and flowers blooming every day Sharing hope to heal your heart Giving you reasons for life to restart”
Poetry by Dr. Preeti Singh
“I see a bee buzzing on the flowers, Is it taking the nectar with glee, Is it asking me to go away? Or is it asking me to join the fun? Too many questions, I am curious.”

“If you love eating brownies for breakfast, Brownies for tea, supper, and dinner, Then today is the day for you to whet your appetite. Today is “National Cream Cheese Brownie Day”,”

“Will he propose, Will she say “Yes”? Should she propose? Would that be best? Today is the day to propose, On “Propose Day”. If you want to make a proposal, Today would be the best day.”
Beautiful creativity from Christopher Grant
