Thrill of Victory

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

Moments of Joy

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

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.

VICTOR
VICE
VERSE

In a world of Victor and Vice,
Where good and bad roll the dice,
Victor says, “Let’s play it straight!”
While Vice just laughs, “Let’s tempt fate!”

They raced through chaos, a whimsical chase,
Victor in sneakers, Vice in disgrace.
But over a banana, Vice took a fall,
“Guess it’s hard to outrun it all!”

So here’s to their antics, a wild little slice,
Good and bad together—what fun with Vice!

In the Classroom’s Light

Daily writing prompt
What’s your dream job?

Once I dreamed in vibrant hues,
Inspiring minds, sharing views.
Eager faces, sparks in their eyes,
Moments of magic where knowledge flies.

But shadows grew as I dove deep,
Overwhelmed by tasks, I lost the leap.
Tests loom large, creativity fades,
In the weight of the world, my passion cascades.

I question my path, where do I belong?
Is it teaching, or something stronger?
In uncertainty’s folds, I seek to find,
A place where I flourish, heart and mind.

UNDER
UPPER
ULTIMATE

Under shadows looming,
Missy faced the pressure.
An ultimate fight brewed deep in her core,
Yearning for strength as she sought to restore.

With the upper hand in a chaotic dance,
She transformed her fears into bold, fierce chance.
Gathering courage, she learned to stand tall,
In the ultimate battle, she wouldn’t fall.
