Three Things Challenge #M796

SCREW
TACK
NAIL

Screws, tacks, and nails, oh my!
In the workshop, they all do lie.
The screw got twisted and turned around,
The tack got stuck but didn’t make a sound.
And the nail, oh the nail, so strong and stout,
It held it all together without a doubt.

REMNANT
PIECE
RAG

The remnant piece of rag,

A symbol of strength and hope,

In Victoria’s hands it lay,

A testament to resilience.

Tattered and worn, yet cherished so,

It held memories of struggles,

But through it all, it stood tall,

A reminder of perseverance.

ACCEPTANCE
REJECTION
DISAPPOINTED

In life’s winding road, we seek acceptance,
Hoping for love and inner peace,
But faced with rejection, we feel the sting,
Leaving us disappointed, searching for release.

BORDER

WALL

Bordered by walls, gated within,
Seeking to break free, to bravely begin.

What If

M.A.D. Works
Missy’s MAD Challenge #003

What if,
the sun refused to rise,
And the moon decided not to set?

What if,
the stars fell from the skies,
And the oceans all dried up and left?

What if,
birds forgot to sing,
And flowers never bloomed again?

What if,
winter forgot to bring
Snowflakes gently falling, now and then?

What if,
love ceased to exist,
And kindness disappeared from sight?

What if,
hope could not persist,
And darkness banished all the light?

But even in these what if’s, true,
There’s strength in us and ways to cope.
For in our hearts, the answers brew,
And we’ll find our way through, with hope.

EMBROIDER
STITCH
SEWN

In threads of time, stories unfurl
Embroidered tales, stitch by stitch
In the fabric of history, neatly sewn

HANDKERCHIEF
LACE
CORNERS

In a pocket, snug and neat,
Lies a handkerchief, delicate and sweet.
Lace adorns its corners four,
Ready to wipe a tear or a little bit more.

Blurry and Dark

M.A.D. Works
Missy’s MAD Challenge #002!

Suddenly everything became blurry and dark,
A world once clear, now lost its spark.
Visions faded, like a misty dream,
Reality shattered at the seams.

GAME
POULTRY
BEEF

In the kitchen, the game is on
Poultry roasting, a savory song
With spices and herbs, a feast to create
Excitement sizzles on the dinner plate

But let’s not forget about the beef
Tender and juicy, beyond belief
Grilled to perfection, a flavorful delight
A meal so divine, it’s love at first bite

Three Things Challenge #M779

SADDEN
MISPLACE
LOST

Sally was saddened, lost and forlorn,
Fearing her treasure was forever gone.
As tears threatened to fall, her heart in despair,
She searched high and low, her anguish to bear.

Placing her hands on the bed, a glimmer of hope,
To her surprise, her treasure was within scope.
Not lost, but misplaced, a joyous revelation,
Tears of happiness rolled, an end to her frustration.
