Three Things Challenge #M877

UPBEAT
LOWER
BELLOW

In a world that’s often upbeat,
I tripped over my own two feet,
I bellowed loud, “Oh dear, oh no!”
As I fell in a puddle, splashing so!

While splashing around, I couldn’t ignore,
The duck by the pond who quacked with uproar,
He pointed his wing, as if to say,
“Why lower your spirits on such a fine day?”

So I laughed at myself, embraced the scene,
Life’s funny mishaps are best to glean,
With a splash and a quack, I danced with glee,
In the puddle, I found my own jubilee!

Favorite Month

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?
View all responses

June is my favorite month for three big reasons: the awesome weather, swimming, and my birthday. I love those warm days—perfect for soaking up nature and swimming in a pool or at the beach. Celebrating my birthday in June makes it even more memorable. The weather is nice, with morning clouds that clear up for sunny afternoons, and it’s not as hot as the sticky summer months. June feels like the kickoff to summer, and when I swim, I find amazing peace, letting go of stress. It’s a relaxing escape, and afterward, I feel refreshed. And of course, it’s my birthday month, which always excites me.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

MESS

Tess’s Journey to Clarity

There once was a girl named Tess,
Whose thoughts were a tangled mess.
In her mind, doubts would spin,
She’d dream of a life within,
But she’s learning to rise and confess.

BIN
DUMPSTER
GARBAGE

Dance of the Refuse

In a town where the rubbish would pile,
A bin stood out, quite in style.
With a dumpster nearby,
And garbage piled high,
They all danced in the sun for a while.

The first impression I want to give people is warmth and approachability. I aim to come across as friendly, open-minded, and supportive, making others feel comfortable and valued in our interactions. It’s important that people think they can engage quickly and trust that I’m here to listen and help.

COURAGE
BRAVERY
VALOUR

In the Realm of Courage

In shadows where gloom might stay,
A flicker fights, lighting the way.
Courage stands, a steadfast flame,
Igniting hope, refusing shame.

Bravery calls us to rise,
Facing fears, reaching the skies.
Valour weaves its tales of old,
A hero’s heart, brave and bold.

Together they shine, a triad bright,
In darkest hours, they bring light.
So let’s summon, deep from within,
The courage to fight, the bravery to begin.
