A place to show my work
In the calm of the evening,
Shadows stretch and sigh,
Memories feel heavy,
Soft whispers float by.
Laughter once filled the air,
Now it echoes in the trees,
Each sound a reminder
Of moments lost like leaves.
Though distance pulls us apart,
Your memory means a lot,
In my heart, you’re always close—
In every song I’ve got.

Sitting in the car
Waiting for my uncle now
Grocery shopping
Hoping he will come out soon
To enjoy this sunny day…

Ban
In the quiet places where shadows lie,
Books are banned, but truth won’t die.
History fades when we turn away,
Let’s not lose the past today.
Guardians of knowledge, take a stand,
Protect the stories of our land.
For in the light of words, we find,
The power to shape what’s in our mind.

The sun goes down, the sky is bright,
Golden sand and ocean light.
I love the beach; it feels so good,
Waves that play, just like they should.
Seashells shine, and laughter’s near,
All my worries disappear.
In sunny days and starry skies,
The beach, my home, where my heart flies.
MAD 11/22/24
Frustration sets in, words caught in flight,
Need to say them, but they don’t come out right.
Misunderstood whispers, lost in the air,
Thought I was improving, but do I dare?
Each fix feels like labor, each word a retreat,
Struggling to express what’s deep and discreet.
Yet in every stumble, a flicker of light,
I’ll embrace my own voice, finding strength in the fight.

Learning poem forms
It’s a challenge and it’s fun
Here I go again
These rules have me on the run
Count eight syllables or ten???

POPPYCOCK
TRIVIA
NONSENSE
In a world of poppycock and glee,
Where trivia dances, wild and free,
Amidst the chaos, nonsense thrives,
A playful spirit that truly strives.

The Tale of Lance
There once was a fellow named Lance,
Who thought he could take quite a chance.
But when things began to change,
His life felt so strange,
And worries began to escalate, by chance!

SOLVENT
PRECARIOUS
SUNDRY
Chasing the Light
In a world of solvent dreams,
Precarious paths take flight, it seems.
With sundry hopes that gently blend,
We chase the light, where shadows end.

Auburn mixed with gold
Making the world beautiful
Sprinkle all around,
and share it everywhere…
Such a treat for all to see…
-MAD/AAA 11/19/2024
Precious moments, soft and sweet,
Radiating joy in every heartbeat.
Every smile tells a story untold,
Cherished treasures, more than gold.
In laughter, warmth, and gentle grace,
Our bonds grow stronger, time can’t erase.
Unforgettable memories, forever bright,
Shining together, a beautiful light.

Laughing Along With A Limerick
Good afternoon, everyone. Here is a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is:
There once was a judge named Judy,
Whose love for fudge was quite moody.
Day in and day out,
Without a doubt,
When she ran out, she felt truly broody.
