Strong Will Shapes…

Tilted towards an end

Inclined by nature’s design

Predisposed to sway

If contortion can create

Then a strong will can shape things…

SCREW
TACK
NAIL

Screws, tacks, and nails, oh my!
In the workshop, they all do lie.
The screw got twisted and turned around,
The tack got stuck but didn’t make a sound.
And the nail, oh the nail, so strong and stout,
It held it all together without a doubt.

REMNANT
PIECE
RAG

The remnant piece of rag,

A symbol of strength and hope,

In Victoria’s hands it lay,

A testament to resilience.

Tattered and worn, yet cherished so,

It held memories of struggles,

But through it all, it stood tall,

A reminder of perseverance.

Drowning

Drowning in sorrow

Wrapped in self-indulgent woe

Self-pity’s dark hold

Brings me down even lower

As I try to stay afloat…

Stretched

Stretched to the limit

Pressure pulling tight and taut

Strained and stressed within

Pressed as hard as one can be

Any further, and I’ll snap…

POTATO
TOMATO
PATCH

In a patch, a potato met a tomato,
Said the potato, “You red thing, you’re quite a hero!”
The tomato replied, “And you, my friend, are the best spud,
Together in this patch, we make the perfect dud!”

Meaning

Precise, holding fast,

Stitching fabric and story,

Securing our world

Making some sense of it all 

Can seem like a fool’s errand…

Talons grasp with fierce control,

Survival’s strong hold

Grips quite tightly as they hunt

All hinges in their success…

Balancing act, light,

Softly touching the earth’s floor,

Dancers’ silent grace

Like swans in a glassy lake

Gentle movements as they glide…

ACCEPTANCE
REJECTION
DISAPPOINTED

In life’s winding road, we seek acceptance,
Hoping for love and inner peace,
But faced with rejection, we feel the sting,
Leaving us disappointed, searching for release.
