A place to show my work
The crystal clear blue sky is tantalizing
Daring us to go out and enjoy the day away
To see the beautiful scenery around you, hypnotizing
So that your worries float away
let your mind drift and start fantasizing
about a life with no stress and worries
your mind begins to calm down, stablizing
In a peaceful state of mind you stay,
As dreams of joy are truly mesmerizing.
It rains red in some parts of the world
“Red rain, also known as blood rain, occurs when high concentrations of colored dust or particles carried from deserts mix with rain, altering its hue. Experts say red rain occurs a few times a year in the UK, and more commonly in countries such as Spain and the south of France, which are closer to the Sahara Desert, according to the BBC. Blood rain has also shown up in countries in Asia and the Middle East.” 50 Weird Facts That Most People Don’t Know
In a world of wagging tails,
My heart’s filled with puppy dog trails.
Their love is pure, their spirit bright,
In their eyes, my day turns light.
There’s no need to be a snob,

With open hearts and open hands,
We’ll build a world where friendship stands.
So let us join, both near and far,
And see how bright our spirits are.
In harmony, we shall find our song,
For united is where we all belong.
Whispers surround me, soft and low,
Rising anxiety begins to grow.
A current of fear, a wave of dread,
Overwhelming thoughts fill my head.
In shadows they linger, weaving their tale,
Stirring my heart, making me frail.
A tempest of worry, a storm in my chest,
In silence I struggle, longing for rest.
As whispers encircle, I yearn for the light,
To calm this distress and banish the night.
With hope as my anchor, I seek to find peace,
To quiet the voices, let my worries cease.

Balance tipped in moments frail,
Fate’s dice cast anew.

Bashful butterflies flutter about,
yearning to befriend others,
yet their fears hold them back each time.
All they desire is to be liked,
but they struggle to understand how.
In their quest, they try to become someone they are not.
Little did they know that this was not the way
until they stumbled upon a garden bright,
where colors danced in the warm sunlight.
Among the blossoms, a wise old bee
whispered gently, “Just be free.
Embrace your colors, your gentle sway,
for the truest friends will love you as you play.
No need to change, no mask to wear,
your heartfelt spirit is beyond compare.”
With newfound courage, they spread their wings,
navigating blooms and the joy it brings.
No longer bashful, they twirled in delight,
finding friendships that felt just right.
Together they laughed, together they soared,
in a world where love was the greatest reward.
So remember, dear friend, in your own special way,
authenticity is what helps you play.
