Three Things Challenge #M803

PRANCE
STRUT
SWAY

In the meadow, a horse named Lance,
Decided to break into a dance,
With a prance, a strut, and a sway,
He wowed all the animals that day!

Acts of Kindness

M.A.D. Works

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

Witnessing acts of kindness and compassion always brings tears of joy to my eyes. Whether it’s seeing strangers helping each other or experiencing heartwarming moments of human connection, the simple yet powerful gestures of empathy and generosity never fail to move me. It’s inspiring to see the goodness in people and the positive impact that each individual can have on others.

Listless

M.A.D. Works
Today’s Prompt: Listless

In a world so vast and wide,
Sometimes, I feel listless inside.
No motivation, no spark or flame,
Just the feeling that everything’s the same.
But I know deep inside my core,
This listlessness won’t last forevermore.
I’ll find my purpose, my drive, my zest,
And this listless feeling will be put to rest.

While the simple deer roams free, pure as a dream.

Timepiece

M.A.D. Works
Weekend Writing Prompt #379 – Timepiece

A timepiece, a faithful guide through time’s sway,
Each tick and chime, a comforting array,
It marks life’s journey, the highs and lows we face,
A silent witness, in each fleeting embrace.

It counts the years and centuries in quiet grace,
Reminding us, life’s moments we must embrace,
A symbol of time’s passage, transient and pure,
A timepiece, a companion, steady and sure.

Seasons change and memories fade away,
But this timeless symbol will always stay,
In our hearts and minds forever.

Three Things Challenge #M802

PIVOT
DIVOT
IDIOT

There was a divot in the way, so I had to pivot
So I don’t look like an idiot.
I danced around it with a graceful spin
To avoid looking clumsy, I just had to win.
