Maintaining Order

Rules and laws in place,
Guiding the actions we take,
Order in chaos,
We need them now more than ever,
some will never face, consequences.

Visibility

Zoom in amplify,
Make larger, clear to see,
magnify the view,
Need to see the finest details,
to make sure,
everything is on the up and up,
and not being deceived.

The Lurking Threat

Cold & Cruel, devoid,
An inhuman presence lurks,
Void of empathy,
Wanting to remove your joy,
So, beware and hide away.

Heart’s Thunder

Thunder of the chest
Powerful and resonant
Life’s drumbeat echoing
Even causing calm within
For those who seek it.

The Heart’s Rhythm

Rhythm of the heart
Pulsing in time with the world
Life’s steady tempo
waiting, wanting you to join
cherish the rhythm and the beat.

Celebrate with Layered Sweet 

Celebration made solid
Sweetness in layers
Joy in every slice
Share with friends
Enjoy the sweetness

Commentary

Getting to Know Me

  1. What book had a significant impact on you? 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult had a significant impact on me. It covered everything in the book and dealt with hard subjects, presenting the story from all parties involved.
  2. Do you have a favorite local restaurant or café? I would have to say that my favorite local restaurant is Sergio’s. It is a Mexican restaurant that serves amazing authentic food.

Timeless R&B Classic

Daily writing prompt
What’s your all-time favorite album?

My all-time favorite album has to be “II” by Boyz II Men. Dropped in 1994, this album is special in my heart because it’s just a classic mix of R&B and soul. The way they harmonize, those heartfelt lyrics, and those smooth melodies make it unbeatable. Boyz II Men’s vocal skills and how they deliver their songs, like “I’ll Make Love to You” and “On Bended Knee,” always hit me right in the feels. The whole production of the album and how they spill their emotions through the music make “II” a total gem in the R&B scene. It’s one of those albums I can put on and vibe with from start to finish, and it always lifts my mood.

They are coming to my area in December, and I would love to see them perform again. However, I need to find someone to go with since I am tired of going alone, but if I have to, I will.

CRINGE
SHUDDER
WOBBLE

Peter the penguin wobbled around,
On the icy snow, he couldn’t be found.
With each step he took, he stumbled and swayed,
His friends all watched, feeling dismayed.

He slipped and slid, oh what a sight,
Peter the penguin, his balance not quite right.
He tried to be graceful, but it was no use,
His awkward dance made everyone confused.

With each clumsy move, he caused quite a stir,
His friends all cringed, it was all a blur.
But Peter kept wobbling, he didn’t mind,
For he knew that soon, his balance he’d find.

So, wobble on, Peter, don’t be dismayed,
Your friends may cringe, but you’ll find your own way.
With each shaky step, you’ll soon find your groove,
And wobbling around, you’ll make us all move.

Finding Balance

Clear mind, sound and soul,
In sanity’s calm embrace,
balance found within
mediating to find peace
deep breath in and deep breath out.

Caught Off Guard

Unexpected jolt,
Abrupt change in direction,
wholly caught off guard
by a love so pure & profound
peace & contentment, forever

Cognac

Amber liquid swirls,
rich aroma, smooth and warm,
cognac in my glass
want to chase away the thoughts
instead placing the glass down.
