Three Things Challenge #M950

XEROX
XYLOPHONE
XYST

In a world where ideas flow,
Through the pages, we Xerox,
Copying dreams, making them grow,
A melody plays on a xylophone box.

In the garden where shadows play,
Among the vines, a xyst does lay,
A tranquil moment, a gentle sway,
Nature’s beauty, in every way.

Poetry

Winning Her Heart

M.A.D. Works

Being possessive is not the way
to win a lovely woman’s heart
Cherish them; hold them close, dear.
Make them feel so special.
If you truly care
Will do the trick.
Will be yours
Sure thing
Soon

Thrill of Victory

M.A.D. Works

Anticipation
Time is running out quickly.
Anxiety rise.
Heart beats quickly, feeling swift.
Touchdown, they win the big game

Moments of Joy

M.A.D. Works

Having a blast with friends is the best
Needing time to recharge from work
It’s time to chill and relax
Doing nothing at all
Having lots of fun
Now or never
Peace and love
Friendship
Now

A Journey of Reflection

M.A.D. Works

Pondering daily
What life is going to bring?
Wondering what’s next
Will I gain what I desire?
Chasing dreams, I’ll find my way.

WAVER
WEAVE
WRESTLE

In the forest where shadows waver,
Threads of sunlight begin to weave,
Nature’s tapestry, a grand braver,
In harmony, it weaves and weaves.

Leaves wrestle gently with the breeze,
Dancing to a rhythm only they know,
In this moment, the heart finds ease,
Where every whisper of life starts to glow.
