The Sun
Blazing down on us
Warming our skin with light.
It dances through the trees.

Pluto or Bust
Paul the porcupine had a plan
He was going to build a plane
To leave this planet and head to Pluto
A daring journey, he was determined to go

Creative Choices
In a world where choices flow,
Type a slash to let it show,
Select a block, let thoughts align,
A simple step, your voice, your sign.
Isolation
A lonely echo,
Walls close in on the stillness,
Silence speaks alone.
Guiding Light
In the dark night sky, a lantern glows,
Guiding lost souls where the soft wind blows

“Live out of your imagination, not your history.” —Stephen Covey
A Lesson in Laughter
Your three words today are:
COURSE
COARSE
CURSE
In a classroom, a teacher with force,
Taught a lesson with flair and of course.
Though the language was coarse,
It invoked a sly curse,
And the kids laughed in joyful discourse!
Fear
A heartbeat quickens,
In the dark, uncertainty,
Monsters in the mind.
Quote for October 21, 2025
“Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it. … Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.” —Steve Jobs
Inspiration’s Search of Me
Oh, inspiration.
Where did you go, I need you.
Please return soon.
Ideas must come right now.
Or our readers will suffer…

“He that can have patience can have what he will.” ―Benjamin Franklin
Shattered Trust
I once trusted my brother so solemn and true,
But he took from me, and my trust he did eschew.
His sultry lies and sly deceit,
Left my heart heavy, my anger replete.
In shadows cast by his treacherous game,
I feel the sting of betrayal’s sharp flame.
Yet from the ashes of trust that he stole,
I gather my strength and reclaim my soul.
Liquid Relief
Cold refreshing drink.
what is needed on this day.
Sipping and cooling.
Effervescence my relief.
On hot Sunday afternoons.
