Intuition Poem

Two rows of writing

Blur into one tale but you

Read between the lines.

    Great piece! It’s wonderful how you convey such a powerful message in so few words!

    Loved reading this one, Jaya! I see this in a lot of speech or words online. A big part of understanding is reading between the lines which can be good and bad haha. Thanks for sharing xx

      I feel this too, Lynn. It is constant reading between the lines that causes trouble when we should be reading the actual text and vice versa too in some cases. We need balance for sure! 🙂

    I love this so much, it hit me right in the feels! Beautiful words xx

    Short yet powerful poem, incredible work Jaya! x

    Short but powerful–often you don’t many words to convey meaning and emotion.

  8. Simona ~ The Grumpy Olive

    Sometimes very few words can blow you off your feet, and this is what your words have just done to me Jaya, so thank you.

    1. Jaya Avendel

      I am delighted this connected with you so profoundly, Simona!

  9. Kelly Diane

    I always find it amazing how such few words can make such a powerful message.

  10. Jeff Flesch

    Ah, yes, Jaya, it’s always the unseen that’s the most fun to see. Lovely.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. But a poem from Jaya is worth a thousand pictures. 😉

    1. Jaya Avendel

      🙏😍 Yours are among the kindest and most inspiring words I have ever received! Thank you.

  12. Unwanted Life

    Although it wasn’t your intention, your work reminded me of my issues with dyslexia, with how rows of writing always blur together as I completely miss what I’ve just read and have to reread again.
    Another great piece, the world exists in the gray so you often have to read between the lines

    1. Jaya Avendel

      😍 Oo, I am so happy that your perspective on this is so new and yet so welcome. Thank you for sharing the way you read this!

    I love this, I feel like so many of us are wired to try and look between the lines of almost everything we see. Intuition is such a powerful tool.

    This is stunning, deep work. I really like how you created it from the prompt. As short as it is, it truly resonates with me, which is not easy to do in such few words. Great work! You have a way with words.

    1. Jaya Avendel

      Thank you so much, Brianna!

  15. Jodie | That Happy Reader

    I feel a real connection to this lovely piece! The meaning of words aren’t always perceived as they are written. Thanks for sharing!

    This little poem has your signature in it- build a fence with words, hide a few treasures, and leave it for the readers to pick the gems.
    Three rows of a lovely haiku that brought a smile to my face 🙂
    I don’t find short necessarily sweet except for the works of a few writers and you are 100% one of them.
    Thanks for sharing xx

    1. Jaya Avendel

      Aww, thank you so much, Jess, for your incredible read!

  17. Heidi Bruaw

    This is very deep. I love it! There is so much meaning between the lines.

  18. Michele Lee

    Well done, Jaya!

    1. Jaya Avendel

      Delighted you think so, Tom!

  19. -Eugenia

    Yes! How true this can be! Brevity and brilliant writing. I love it!

    1. Jaya Avendel

      😊 Your prompts bring out the best in me.

      1. -Eugenia

        That’s quite a compliment! Thank you!

  20. FN

    Yes, some can read between the lines! It’s an art.

  21. Keep Calm & Drink Coffee

    And this is LOVE at the first sight!
    i simply adore reading between the lines <3
    I share.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH

  22. Ingrid

    So skillfully done!

  23. Lucy

    Beautifully said. I resonate with this a lot; we depict so much in our writing, we hide the meanings that most don’t see. What a beautiful thing when someone discovers and hits those nuances that we thought we hid so well! I only have one friend that hits the nail every time and it still shocks me lol (not in surprise but just knowing someone else gets it, really gets it, it’s powerful).
    You state this beautifully, eloquently in brevity. 👏👏

      Thank you, Lucy, for sharing your between the lines experience!
