Laughing Along with a Limerick, Poetry

Under A Spell

I put you under a spell,
In dreams where we both wish to dwell.
With whispers so sweet,
Our hearts skip a beat,
In a world where our love casts a bell.

Poetry

A Dance of Values and Peace

I request that you stay true,
To the values that guide you,
May your heart be light and free,
As you dance through life with glee.

I request that you find peace,
In the moments of sweet release,
Let your spirit soar and fly,
Underneath the endless sky.

Daily writing prompt
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

Seeing acts of kindness and caring always makes me emotional. Whether it’s strangers helping each other or sharing special moments, these simple acts of generosity and understanding really touch my heart. It’s uplifting to notice the good in people and how one person can make a positive difference in someone else’s life.

Poetry

Earth’s Hidden Secrets

Meg loves to dig,
With steadfast zeal,
She seeks the whispers
That the earth may reveal.
With shovel in hand,
She roams wide and free,
Uncovering stories,
Nature’s history.

In soil and sand,
Her joy takes flight,
A treasure trove of wonders,
Brought into the light.
Through layers of time,
She discovers her worth—
Meg loves to dig,
Unraveling the earth.

Poetry

Secrets in the Shadows

Whisper to me your deepest, darkest secret,
A truth that only we will hold and keep,
In the shadows where our silent thoughts can meet.

Poetry

Sally Ann Cash, the Teller

Sally Ann Cash worked with a grin,
At the shop where her talents did win.
With numbers in hand,
She was always so grand,
A trusted soul, where cash did begin.
