It’s My Perspective
A day the seemed so bad, was really so good
My thoughts have consequences
They affect my mood at the time,
It’s dependent on my perspective
I can have a good day by design.
***
Give it a try, as I think you’ll find
Positivity need positive thoughts,
Negativity from negative thoughts
It’s your thinking that’s the source.
***
Over many years I started to learn
I believed it was luck, bad or good,
Then I realised it’s my perspective
And my life thrived as I understood.
***
I’ve experienced the odd bad day
In the past I’ve felt paralysed,
Then looking back in hindsight
They were a blessing in disguise.
***
I realised, on these bad luck days
A necessary check of my perspective,
A turning point to change my luck
Positive thoughts are more effective.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.

Colleen, is the square pattern of each stanza inspired by the photo? If so, well done! It makes your poem even more enjoyable.
I totally agree with you but sometimes it's so difficult to be positive
Bad luck and despair are sometimes just the triggers for a reboot.
