With a moment of calm today—
It flirted, then fled.
A place to show my work

Word of the Day Challenge 2/15/26
I tried to hook up
With a moment of calm today—
It flirted, then fled.

In a garden so green and so calm,
Where the flowers released their sweet balm,
The bees buzzed a tune,
‘Neath the light of the moon,
And the night’s gentle breeze brought a charm.

Three Things Challenge #M925
PLACATE
CALM
GENTEEL

Please be genteel
be calm but dont placate
In silence find strength, let your spirit be free,
With grace in your heart, let your voice rise with glee.

When the weight of life becomes too much,
And my mind feels burdened, longing for a touch
Of peace and solace, I know what to do
To unplug and find a sense of renewal.
Drawing and music, a perfect blend,
Help my thoughts unwind, allowing me to mend
The frayed edges of my restless mind,
Bringing a sense of calm, that’s hard to find.
Nature, too, holds the key
To unplug and set my spirit free.
In Joshua Tree’s vast expanse,
I find a refreshing, revitalizing dance.
When I can’t journey to such a place,
A local park becomes my space
To sit on a bench and admire the view,
And let nature’s tranquility flow through.
Learning the importance of unplugging,
I now make it a practice, never budging
From prioritizing my peace of mind,
To prevent feeling overwhelmed, I’m inclined.
