A Day of Play

With great joy,
The kids got some toys,
Not just girls, but also the boys.

Laughter rang out from morning till night,
Playing together, everything felt right.
Blocks stacked high and dolls that twirl,
In their world of magic, each child would whirl.

As the sun set, dreams filled the air,
In a joyful moment, they knew they’d share.

Whispers in the Fog

I question many things.
Nothing gets settled,
And I have this constant fog of chatter going on in my head
As I go through the day.

When will it ever end?
I do not know,
Like whispers in the wind,
They swirl and flow.

Thoughts drift like shadows,
Lost in the haze,
Each one a puzzle,
Through life’s tangled maze.

But maybe there’s light,
Beyond this thick shroud,
A moment of clarity,
To break through the crowd.

So, I take a deep breath,
And try to find peace,
Hoping this turmoil
Will someday release.

Positive Events

Daily writing prompt
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

In the past year, I’ve experienced many positive events. One of the first was obtaining my Master’s degree in Special Education, and now I am actively looking for a job that will allow me to utilize my degree to its fullest potential.

Another positive event in my life is that I became friends with an amazing person, and I feel grateful to have met him. Every day, I appreciate the friendship we share, whether we’re just chatting about our day, exploring new activities together, or sharing our thoughts and dreams. His positivity and support have motivated me greatly, encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. There have been countless moments filled with laughter and deep discussions that have enriched my life in ways I never anticipated. Knowing that I have such a reliable friend by my side gives me a sense of comfort and belonging. I truly cherish this friendship and look forward to all the adventures that lie ahead.

Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant shift in my writing journey. I have become more confident in my abilities, which has encouraged me to share my work with all of you. This openness has been both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking, but each time I share, I learn and grow. The support I’ve received has motivated me to push my boundaries further and explore new topics and styles. I’m excited about this journey and look forward to continuing to improve and share more with you all!

Whispers of Winter: Collaboration with Carol Anne

Fires crackle and glow,
Evergreens in silence breathe,
Hope’s light softly grows.

Winter whispers peace,
Stars twinkle in the still night,
Hearts warm with delight.

Weekend Wanderlust

Feeling fancy and free
Ready to start the weekend
In a whole new way
Determined to push through
Adventures about to be had
Yearning to be free

Collab with Carol Anne

Another collab with Carol Anne. This time, we each wrote a limerick, and the theme was silly. The top half is Carol Anne, and the bottom half is mine. Enjoy!

In a dress that was frilly and silly, 
A girl danced through the streets, her face silly. 
With a twirl and a spin, 
She brought giggles within, 
As she laughed with the town, oh so chilly!

A fellow who thought he was chilly,  
Wore socks that were bright and quite silly.  
In a dance, he tripped flat,  
And fell with a splat,  
But just laughed and proclaimed, “Aren’t I really?

Clyde’s Comic Catastrophe

There once was a fellow named Clyde,
Who took all his secrets in stride.
But one fateful night,
He tangled in fright,
When his crush found his stash and, he cried!

Midnight Temptations

A flirty young lady named Claire,
Had a knack for a scandalous dare.
In the heat of the night,
With her lover in sight,
They tangled ‘neath sheets without care.
