The Nimble Bat

M.A.D. Works

There once was a bat named Sara, 

Who worried her size like a para. 

She practiced each night, 

In the moon’s silver light, 

Now she’s nimble and light as a feather!

Maggie’s Skyward Quest

M.A.D. Works

Maggie was set on a quest, 

To soar high, she would give it her best. 

With hard work in her stride, 

She dreamt of the sky wide, 

Aiming to be the first and the best!

Staying Focused on My Goals

M.A.D. Works
Daily writing prompt
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
View all responses

I don’t say no to things that get in the way of my goals as much as I should, but I’m trying to change that. It can be hard to focus on what I want, especially when new chances come up that look tempting. I’m learning to think carefully about what matches my goals and to be clear about my limits. It’s a work in progress, but I’m dedicated to getting better at making choices so I can stay on track and reach what I want to achieve.

I often think it would be amazing to have the ability to speak every language fluently. Imagine being able to connect with people from all over the world effortlessly, understanding their cultures and perspectives. It would open up so many opportunities for travel, friendships, and learning.

Poetry

Interwoven Souls

M.A.D. Works

Dreams woven with hopes and wishes, 

Offers of love in each gentle embrace, 

Words spoken softly, a promise that lingers, 

Riches of heart, more than material grace, 

Yearning for unity, as two lives interlace.

Poetry

The Spectrum of Life

M.A.D. Works

Anger builds in your soul until it needs to erupt

Bliss with each kiss

Confusion when something isn’t right

Disappointment when things don’t go your way

Excitement for the things to come

Fear intensifies when starting something new

Gratitude for those who help when it is needed

Happiness for others living their dreams

Indifference to the negativity from others

Joy in seeing loved ones being happy

Kindness in helping others in need

Loneliness creeps into your heart when you are alone

Melancholy, a quiet shadow in your soul

Nostalgia, memories that make you whole

Overwhelm, a flood that drowns the mind

Pride in the achievements you find

Quizzical, wondering about life’s ways

Relief when you see brighter days

Sadness, a cloud that lingers and stays

Tension, the stress of life’s maze

Uncertainty, not knowing what to do

Vulnerability, when you’re exposed and true

Worry, the fear of what’s ahead

Xenophobia, a dread that’s widespread

Yearning, a desire that never ends

Zeal, the passion that transcends

The Morning’s Embrace

M.A.D. Works
Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Dainty

Delicate like a morning dew,

Always bringing a subtle hue.

In the breeze, a gentle sway,

Never brash, lighting the way.

Timeless beauty, soft and true,

Yearning hearts it will renew.
