Happy Fri-Yay Funday My Friends!
I’m truly grateful to be a Monthly Contributor for MasticadoresUsa and excited to share my poem Centipedes of Love with you today.
A special thanks to MasticadoresUSA. A big thank you to, Gabriela Marie Milton, and the team at MasticadoresUSA for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.
This has put my Yay back into Friday once again after a week of recovery and I’m so grateful to be feeling the love from all of you and back on my feet. You’re heartfelt wishes have meant the world to me!
❤️
Centipedes of Love
Frozen in time
hollowed out oak
Creating space
home for all
The centipede
crawls over my flesh
pincher free for it recognizes me
as part of its species.
100 legs walk the earth’s crust
burrowing their way
into any open crevices
multiplying
twisting and turning
through warm open wounds…………
I would be honored if you would go here to read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

This is really great news Cindy. Congratulations 😇
Thank you dear Harsh! I appreciate that!
💖🤗
This is great, Cindy. Send over your centipede to transport all the little clots that still linger in my leg. Maybe it could be like the leeches of old!
Oh Marsha, that’s such a great Idea my friend. I’m sending them in droves. Now close your eyes and see them working.. I seriously do that in my visualizations. We’ve had little pac men eating cancer cells etc.. whatever it takes! 💖💖👏👏👏 Thanks for visiting! 💖
I felt them. I thought it was a truck that ran over me today after surgery, but it was the centipedes LOL. They did their trick. I slept all afternoon until about six. Now, here I am wide awake. Poor Vince, we keep such a different schedule. 🙂
oh Marsha… yikes that’s hard. hahahah well if they did their job then thats all that counts! But that’s hard and I do know what you mean about different schedules. It’s crazy alright! I’m sure mine would feel his pain. Take good care! 💖
Beautiful writing ma’am! A truly magnificent piece😍❤
Thanks truly Suvi!

You are very welcome 🙂
Ah that you used above is my first and last name together – Pragalbha (First) Doshi(Last) I am happy to be addressed as PD in short 🙂
Every single time I’m scrolling through the reader and see the centipede picture I have to start laughing nervously, because I have a big, fat phobia. 😹

I read the full poem and like how you led us to that LOVE ending
and this part was nice jewel too
“Dark skies open diamonds rain white
cleansing illusions”
but so interesting and a few parts had me wonder what was meant – and sometimes a good poem does exactly that!
Oh thanks so much Yvette. So funny, I was just reading your TBR as you must have been reading here. Glad you liked my poem. I saw this guy and he struck me and think how much more exercise we could get in, in a shorter period of time with those long legs.. hahahaha 🤣. i wonder if i would remember what I was thinking if you asked me.. 🤣. I am having fun with straightforwardrd approach and metaphors as well as I play. I just love the world of what all of the critters represent. Thanks so much my friend! 💖💖
How fun to be live online (love when this happens)
and writing seems to come so natural to you!
💖
I know sooo cool. I do love it Yvette, thank you! and to you! 💖
💖
I am almost off to bed – I had a little fun getting caught up on some blog reading and it felt nice
Oh that’s lovely. Rise and ride my friends 😂💕🙏
😊
Is it in the heart???!!!
No Lolsy but it looked like it right?! I placed the heart on top of it and it wiggled later and now he’s in a planter box.. dead or alive … is the question..🤷♀️🙃
Once again, Congratulations, Cindy for publication of this beautiful poem! So profound and meaningful. It’s always a pleasure to read you. I’m happy that you now feel better. Have a great weekend 🎉💖
I appreciate that dear Kk! Glad you liked the metaphors and meaning behind it. Aww so kind of you and thanks for the wishes. Yesterday I really turned a corner. Grateful! ❤️💕🥰 you do the same-;)

Ewwww…I am squeamish about centipedes 🐛 and crawly insects, but I soooo love your twists and turns in your FUNyay poem my friend. Congratulations on your feature Cinyay! Enjoy the rest of your weekend my sweet friend! 🌞💖😍💐😊
I read and commented on Masticadores. It is nice to get a chance to read you there. I hope you are enjoying your time writing and finding time to mix it in with all of the other things you have going on. I don’t know how you do it my friend but my hat is off to you for juggling everything. Blessings and love to you sweetie. Sending you and your beautiful family lots of love. xoxoxoxo Joni
I know and I so appreciated it Joni! I am and trying to juggle it all as you know. You are most kind and thanks for the support. Thank you and loved your poem on insta today! maybe it’s here in
Wp. too.. I’ll look later.. big hugs and love my friend xo 💖🌈🤗💖🤗
I generally post only once a week but you have thousands of followers. If you worried about reading and commenting on every post you will burn out very quick. I have a husband too, and we enjoy each other very much so for me, I can do what I can. I pray for people I follow. That is the most important thing to me. There has been a problem with my like button for about a year now. WordPress has a work order on it. Unless people watch the like button and make sure it stays lit it likely doesn’t count. So I have had to tell myself not to worry about the numbers. My daughter has been so upset about not being able to like my posts that she has called me a few times so frustrated. She has a company to run so I tell her not to even mess with it. We just do our best and if the people who follow me don’t understand I feel badly as I truly do love our community and care about my friendship, but some people post up to four times a week.
Please don’t worry about me Cindy. I would never get upset with you about anything. I am happy you are writing and getting published. Your family must be very proud of their mom. Do what you can and enjoy your beautiful family too. Love you sweetie-no need to respond to my response either cause I already know you love me too. ❤️🤗🦋🥰🌹🎈🦋🤗
That’s a good plan I think.. I’m at 2 or 3 and some do everyday and 3-10 posts a day.. now that’s what does me in. I do what I can and I agree with you, that’s all we can do. we have a life and family and friends so we do what we can do.
oh I’m soooo sorry! That is such a drag that is happening! You are a brilliant writer and you work speaks for itself and that’s truly what matters..
BLESS your daughter for being so concerned and trying her best and like you say… so do we. Hoping that glitch gets fixed right away!!!
I never worry about you Joni! I celebrate you and your kind heart and contribution you make to our world.
Love you lots and big hugs and love always! 💖🌈🥰
You know I think I told you not to worry about answering this comment. Thank you for your sweet compliments Cindy they mean a lot. Yes, thank you Cindy, my daughter gets upset because she is so proud of her mom. Just like I am sure your children are very proud of you. Thank you for all your sweet words Cindy. I love you lots and have been praying about you since I read that upsetting post. I am confident that you will get better soon. That glitch has been like that since summer it isn’t going to go away. I have just accepted it. Love you bunches sweetie and big hugs. ❤️🤗🦋🥰
YOU Did but you are important to me and you spread such an important message in our world. That is so touching she is so supportive and proud of you as she should be. It’s truly my honor and I love you as well.
I know they are actually and am finally getting that as I venture into my own world in some sense of the word, all while being part of theirs. Thanks so much for your prayers and love.. they matter! Well that truly maka me crazy as that is ridiculous. Seriously, lmk if you need help as we all have a WP issue.. love you too! 💖💖🌈🌈
Heading on to read Cindy
Oh Mich thanks!
Caught up with you on Insta.. will be over later today here. 💖💖💖❤️❤️
Once the centipede had bitten my neck . It is as poisonous as a scorpion. The head was throbbing for twenty-four hours, even though the doctor gave painkiller injection but you wrote wonderful poem on it dear Cindy ❤️
Oh NO Jane.. I’m soooo sorry. Usually they aren’t poisonous and cause harm. YIKES! the visual and I was playing with this one.. of course I looked it up before I did.. Well, glad you liked my poem in spite of!! hahaha 💖💖
