Widening gap between us grows
Emptiness fills the space we shared
Destroying moments once held dear
Ghosting through memories that fade
Echoes of trust now disappear
Drifting further each passing day

On August 1 in Prehistory…
Edmontosaurus
67 million years ago, a group of Edmontosaurus alternated between eating vegetation and watching for predators like T. Rex. These “duckbill” dinosaurs grew to fifty feet (15 meters) long and four tons (4,000 kilograms) in weight. Mostly quadrupedal, they could run on their back legs to flee danger.

The Balance of Trust
Trust is a treasure, not given away,
It’s built over time, day by day.
Earned through kindness, honest and true,
Yet fragile it is, by one flaw it’s blew.
A single mistake can shatter the wall,
What took years to build can crumble and fall.
So hold it with care, let your actions be just,
For trust is a bond we must cherish and trust.

The Comfort of Togetherness
Your three words today are:
HUG
HUDDLE
HOLD
In a cozy little snug hug,
We’d huddle close, feeling the snug,
With laughter and cheer,
We hold treasures near,
In warmth, all our worries are shrugged.
Echoes of Departure
LAUGH
LEFT
LEAVE
In laughter’s glow, the moments blend,
A fleeting joy, a breath we lend.
Yet in each chuckle, shadows creep,
As thoughts of loss begin to seep.
When paths diverge, I feel the heft,
The weight of memories now left.
A silent plea, to not deceive,
But life demands we sometimes leave.
Each smile a thread, a tapestry spun,
Yet the heart knows the race is run.
With every joy, a tear may flow,
In laughter’s wake, we learn to grow.
So here I stand, with echoes loud,
In bittersweetness, I am proud.
Through laughter shared and love received,
I’ll cherish all that we believe.

The Charmer’s Downfall
In a mansion so grand and so rich,
Lived a man whose life was a switch.
He tried to impress with a suave pitch,
But his charm ended up in a ditch.
His friends all thought he was a witch,
With tricks that made them twitch and flinch.
But though his luck was quite hitched,
At least he never ran out of a niche!
Yet one fateful evening, a grand masquerade,
He donned a disguise, feeling perfectly made.
But the mask he wore brought him unforeseen shame,
As he tripped on his ego, lost all sense of fame.
Now whispers surround him, as shadows invade,
A charmer before, now a legend betrayed.
