Author: M.A.D. Works

In a town with bright sunshine,
Lived a man named Tony, so fine.
With a smile and a heart full of cheer,
He loved to laugh and spread joy near.

Never a phony, just kind and true,
Handsome and helpful, with friends old and new.
But deep inside, he felt a need,
For someone special, to share his good deeds.

So, Tony kept shining, with hope each day,
Believing that love would soon come his way.

Journey of Aspirations

Aiming for goals, dreams in our sight,
Passion ignites, making spirits take flight.
Pathways to progress, we eagerly trace,
Learning and growing at our own pace.
In every endeavor, we strive to engage,
Creating connections as we turn the page.
Action and focus, our future in hand,
Taking each step, together we stand.
Inspiration found in the journey we share,
Opening doors, with courage we dare.
Nurturing visions, a world to explore.

Whispers of Memory

In the calm of the evening,
Shadows stretch and sigh,
Memories feel heavy,
Soft whispers float by.

Laughter once filled the air,
Now it echoes in the trees,
Each sound a reminder
Of moments lost like leaves.

Though distance pulls us apart,
Your memory means a lot,
In my heart, you’re always close—
In every song I’ve got.

Waiting On A Sunday

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Sitting in the car
Waiting for my uncle now
Grocery shopping
Hoping he will come out soon
To enjoy this sunny day…

Ban

In the quiet places where shadows lie,
Books are banned, but truth won’t die.
History fades when we turn away,
Let’s not lose the past today.
Guardians of knowledge, take a stand,
Protect the stories of our land.
For in the light of words, we find,
The power to shape what’s in our mind.

Whispers of the Shore

The sun goes down, the sky is bright,
Golden sand and ocean light.
I love the beach; it feels so good,
Waves that play, just like they should.
Seashells shine, and laughter’s near,
All my worries disappear.
In sunny days and starry skies,
The beach, my home, where my heart flies.

Embracing the Struggle

Frustration sets in, words caught in flight,
Need to say them, but they don’t come out right.
Misunderstood whispers, lost in the air,
Thought I was improving, but do I dare?

Each fix feels like labor, each word a retreat,
Struggling to express what’s deep and discreet.
Yet in every stumble, a flicker of light,
I’ll embrace my own voice, finding strength in the fight.

Learning poem forms
It’s a challenge and it’s fun
Here I go again
These rules have me on the run
Count eight syllables or ten???

Where trivia dances, wild and free,
Amidst the chaos, nonsense thrives,
A playful spirit that truly strives.

CHANCE

The Tale of Lance

There once was a fellow named Lance,
Who thought he could take quite a chance.
But when things began to change,
His life felt so strange,
And worries began to escalate, by chance!

Chasing the Light

In a world of solvent dreams,
Precarious paths take flight, it seems.
With sundry hopes that gently blend,
We chase the light, where shadows end.
