A Gift of Friendship

Mary received a special gift
In hopes of lifting her spirits,
For she had been feeling down,
And her friends wanted to cheer her up.

Disheveled Disorder !

There once was a lad from the border,
Who dreamed of becoming a hoarder.
With treasures galore,
He’d smile and adore,
But his house was a disheveled disorder!

The Dance of Hope

In the quiet depths of night, where dreams take flight,
An unfortunate echo, a shadowed blight.
Yet within the heart, a fire remains,
A flicker of hope that endlessly strains.

Rejection might sting, like a cold winter breeze,
Whispering softly, “What if you leave?”
But rise like the dawn, with colors ablaze,
For every closed door leads to brighter days.

With footsteps unsteady, but courage aligned,
You’ll forge a new path, leaving doubts behind.
Each “no” that you hear, a chance to rebuild,
A lesson in strength, a heart yet fulfilled.

Embrace the setbacks, let them inspire,
For seeds of resilience grow higher and higher.
In the garden of life, where trials are sown,
Your spirit will flourish, your true self be known.

So when the world tells you that you don’t belong,
Remember, dear soul, you are beautifully strong.
For each misstep is merely a part of the dance,
In the face of rejection, there’s always a chance.

Serene Garden

In a garden bright and splendid,
Where the sun shines, rays are blended.
Flowers bloom with colors fair,
Petals dancing in the air.

Birds sing sweetly from the trees,
Whispers carried by the breeze.
Every leaf, a story told,
Nature’s beauty, pure as gold.

Clouds drift softly, white and light,
As day slips gently into night.
In this world, so calm and free,
Splendid peace surrounds me.

A reunion of hearts, pure delight.

Old friends gather, stories unfold,
Tales of wonder, adventures told.
Hand in hand, we share a smile,
Time may pass, but love’s worth the while.
In this moment, we are truly free,
A reunion of souls, just you and me.

Tension of Silence

In the examination room,
Pencil dances on the page,
Thoughts like butterflies.
A sneeze breaks the silence—you
Realize you forgot to breathe!

MAYDAY

Many hearts beat frantic in the night,
Amidst the shadows, seeking the light.
Yearning for peace in chaos’ embrace,
Daring to hope, to find their own place.
Allies assemble, voices unite,
Yielding strength, igniting the fight.

The Tapestry of Etiquette

Here are this week’s prompts:

  1. Write a post based on the word etiquette.
  2. Write a post in exactly 8 sentences.
  3. Tell us what you feel should be taught in school, but isn’t.
  4. If you had the attention of the world for just one minute, what would you say?

In a world where whispers dance with grace,
Etiquette weaves its gentle lace.
From shared glances to polite refrain,
It bridges hearts, easing any pain.

With a nod and smile, respect takes flight,
In every gathering, a guiding light.
So let us honor the threads we coalesce,
For kindness and manners bring us together, no less.

Whispers of Spring

Petals unfolding in the gentle breeze,
Illuminating the world with a soft hue,
Nature’s sweet kiss in blossoms and trees,
Kindness wrapped in colors, vibrant and true.

Dream – Six Word Story Prompt #135

Chasing dreams under the starry sky.

Challenges, Poetry

Chucklebee’s Joyful Dance

In a land where the shapes run free,
Lived a silly creature named Chucklebee.
He danced on an elliptical hill,
With wobbly legs and endless thrill.

He wore a hat that spun around,
As he twirled in circles, never fell to the ground.
“Elliptical’s my favorite shape, you see,
For it’s round and curvy, just like me!”

With a giggle and a wiggle, he’d prance and sway,
Making all the shapes laugh and play.
So if you’re feeling a bit magical and spry,
Just think of Chucklebee and give it a try!

The Gardener’s Pride

In a garden where flowers grew wide,
A gardener felt full of pride.
With each bloom he spied,
He’d sigh, satisfied,
As nature’s beauty bloomed bright by his side.

Nocturnal Reverie

Amidst the shadows, the hours collide,
Lights flicker softly, illuminating dreams.
Laughter and whispers, secrets confide,

Nocturnal journeys, or so it seems.
Inviting the stars to join in our plight,
Gathered together, hearts full of fire,
Holding the moment, we’ll cherish the night,
Time slips away, yet we never tire.
Echoes of laughter, a symphony sweet,
Reveling in memories, an all-nighter’s feat.
