Frosty the Fashionable

M.A.D. Works

Frosty the snowman was quite precise,
In his fashion choices, he took no advice.
His hat and scarf came at a hefty price,
But his cool demeanor was never on ice!

With buttons gleaming like a starry night,
He danced through the town, a joyful sight.
Children would cheer, their faces alight,
For Frosty’s style brought pure delight!

Time’s Echo

M.A.D. Works

Glimmer of hope starts to fade away
What was once golden is now rust
Trying to gain what is lost is a hopeless
For that moment has long passed

In shadows of memories, we linger still,
Chasing echoes of dreams that time can’t fulfill.
Yet in the silence, a whisper remains,
A flicker of strength to endure through the pains.

Poetry

Rising Light

M.A.D. Works

Someone is frustrated
By things that can’t change
Change that mindset,
Let your heart rearrange.

Embrace the morning sun,
Let go of yesterday’s weight,
For every end holds a beginning,
In every twist, don’t hesitate.

Breathe deep in the stillness,
Find strength in the calm,
Each moment a fleeting whisper,
A chance to reclaim your charm.

Let worries drift like autumn leaves,
Soar with winds of hope anew,
In the garden of your spirit,
Plant dreams and watch them bloom.

Though storms may shake your foundation,
And shadows may cloud your day,
With courage, you can rise again,
And illuminate your own way.

Mindful moment

If you wake up at 3am, try a body scan to relax any tension you may be holding in your body. If you do a mindfulness practice, get out of bed and do it elsewhere. The point isn’t to fall asleep during your practice but afterward, when you return to bed

Pig’s Muddy Adventures

M.A.D. Works

Petunia the pig, so round and so pink,
Loves to splash in the mud, it’s her favorite drink.
Leaving a messy trail wherever she strays,
Causing mayhem for others in so many ways.

With a snort and a giggle, she’ll roll in the mire,
Leaving behind a scene that others must admire.
But despite the chaos she tends to incite,
Petunia’s joyful spirit is always warm and bright.

So let her revel in her muddy spree,
For Petunia the pig is happy as can be.

Flame’s Warning

M.A.D. Works

Like a moth to a flame, watch out for you
Get burned if you’re too close now.
Heed my warning, my friend
