Three Things Challenge #M741

DRAW
DRAWER
DRAWN

In the stillness of the night, dreams draw near,
In the drawer of the mind, memories appear.
Sketches of the past, intricately drawn,
In the heart’s hidden drawer, emotions spawn.

A Great Teacher

What makes a teacher great?

A Great Teacher

A great teacher is like sunshine, warming the hearts and minds of their students. They inspire a love for learning in even the most disengaged students and are friendly, approachable, and passionate about teaching. They are adaptable, patient, and good listeners, always seeking to improve themselves.

Another Hulk Artwork

I was taking a look at the post I made, and I remember that I had drawn another Hulk before, so I have decided to post it here. I absolutely love how this one turned out, especially the eyes. The shading and detailing really bring out the intensity and power of the character. I hope others enjoy it as much as I do!

Dog Pact

There was a pack of friendly dogs,
Whose loyalty was unmatched in their logs,
They made a pact to return all the gold,
That the silly cats stole, brazen and bold,
From the pockets of their owners, in their sly, sneaky scrolls.

Wear one Outfit

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

If I were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, it would be a comfortable pair of jeans, a soft and cozy t-shirt, and a stylish but casual jacket. This outfit is versatile, suitable for various occasions, and most importantly, it makes me feel confident and at ease.

Wasted Time

How do you waste the most time every day?

I think the biggest time waster for me every day is getting caught up in social media scrolling. It’s so easy to lose track of time while mindlessly browsing through posts and updates. I’m trying to be more mindful of how I spend my time and limit my social media use to designated periods throughout the day.

ELIMINATE
CONQUER
OVERCOME

To overcome social anxiety
Is a challenge,
That needs not to be conquered or eliminated.
For anxiety is not all bad;
It can be your friend,
When it does not go overboard.

Embrace the flutter of the heart,
The cautious thoughts before you start,
For in these moments, you will find,
Strength and courage in your mind.

Acknowledge anxiety’s gentle hand,
As it guides you through this unknown land.
But remember, you hold the key,
To keep anxiety where it should be.

Daily Habits

What are your daily habits?

So, let me tell you about my daily habits. Every morning, I start my day with a soda for caffeine since I am not a coffee drinker. Recently, I liked to take a few minutes to plan out my day and set some goals for myself. Throughout the day, I make sure to take breaks when I can at work. In the evenings, I enjoy drawing, recently blogging and reading.

Trust For Me

Trust is not easy for me to give,
To receive my trust is a gift.
A select few have received it from the start,
For trust is precious, like a piece of art.

It’s built on honesty, respect, and truth,
A bond that’s strong and steadfast, not a sleuth.
A treasure given to those who prove true,
For in this world, trust is rare and few.

So, if you hold my trust, hold it dear,
For it’s a testament to our bond, crystal clear.
With trust, we can conquer and thrive,
For in trust, we keep our hopes and dreams alive.

RAFT

In a daft draft, she began to craft,
A poem on a solitary raft,
Words swirling like a wild whirlwind,
On her makeshift paper, her thoughts pinned.

Anna from Frozen Artwork

The second favorite character from the movie that my niece loved was Anna. I decided to draw it for her as well when she was younger. This is my take on it. I remember how challenging it was to draw her at the time, struggling to get her features just right. Now, looking back, I wonder how much I have improved. Perhaps it’s time to revisit Anna and sketch her again, to see how my skills have developed.

ANXI – Anthony’s Anxiety Poem with Artwork

-M.A.D.

Poem by Anthony

ANXI – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

Clutching you when you least expect

Coldness like a Zombie’s hand

Little to do or even protect

Fear waves its toxic wand.

Heart is racing beating faster

You take deep breaths to try and cope

Your body turns to rigid, skin alabaster

As you grasp at slipping notions of hope.

It’s taken you now you’re frozen in place

Triggered and frayed like a live wire

A icy gaunt look on your face

You suffer deep in anxiety’s ire.

Its Crippling debilitating

And takes a big toll on

Endlessly contemplating

Until happiness is gone.

Many a victim doth it take

Chaining them to over thought

Trying to avoid a break

From a disaster that may be wrought.

Stand in strength and hold on fast

Strength inside far more than you know

This internal nagging will not last

Take this opportunity to grow.

Take control you got this now.

Your mind drifts back to normalcy

Taking command of your fears, wow

It’s the strongest you can be…
