Whispers of Balance

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM151

Your three words today are:
FEROCIOUS
PLACID
VIOLENT

In a world where shadows sometimes play,
Ferocious storms can darken the day.
Yet beneath the thunder, a whisper grows clear,
A promise of calm for those who will hear.

Violent winds may rage, clash and collide,
But within the chaos, there’s strength to abide.
For after the tempest, the clouds will depart,
Leaving space for the light to warm every heart.

Placid moments arise, as the stillness descends,
Healing the wounds where the storm never ends.
From ferocity’s fury and violence once sought,
Comes the gentle reminder of peace that is taught.

So let us embrace both the tempest and calm,
For each has its purpose, a lesson, a balm.
In balance, we find what our journeys are worth—
From fierce struggles arise the seeds of rebirth.

The Mysterious Missing Piece

M.A.D. Works

In a town filled with sorrow and dread,
A shortage left everyone dead.
Then a change brought delight,
Now they’re wealthy and bright,
But what’s this? Where’s the missing thread?

Poetry

The Fashionable Character

M.A.D. Works

Once there lived an individual named Trinity,
Whose attire was marked by supreme elegance and variety.
In silken gowns so fine,
And suits sleek as wine,
Their fashion sense became their true identity.

Exit Stage Left

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM140

Your three words today are:
FARCE
RIDICULE
COMEDY

Was our friendship a farce,
Where you could ridicule me?
Was it a comedy show
For you to get your laughs in, free?

Did you play the leading role,
While I sat in the crowd,
Hoping for a moment,
When you’d lift me from the shroud?

Were my secrets just punchlines,
My heart a joke on display?
I sought a bond and connection,
Not the cruelty of your play.

Yet here I stand, unbroken,
No longer part of your scene,
I’ll rewrite my own story,
Where I’ve learned to be seen.

So take your laughter, your mockery,
And leave me to find my way,
In a world where friendships flourish,
And genuine hearts can stay.

Laughing Along with a Limerick, Poetry

Rocky’s Wavy Adventure

M.A.D. Works
Laughing Along With A Limerick

There once was a raccoon named Rocky,
Who thought that the boat was quite stocky.
He’d hop and he’d rock,
Making waves like a clock,
In his boat, he felt very frocky!

Poetry

Uncharted

M.A.D. Works
voyage

To the voyage unknown
Is the greatest fear of all.
Not knowing what lies ahead,
Yet growth demands we push on through.

–

The winds of change may roar and call,
Yet courage within us must stand tall.
Embrace the dark, the thrill, the dread,
For only through storms can we be led.

Triumph After Rain

M.A.D. Works
trial

I have been on trial for the last couple of months
Trying my hardest to get through the pain
But with each new day, something new comes my way,
Each struggle feels heavy, like a weight on my brain.

I search for the light through the dark and the rain,
Holding on to hope, though it’s hard to explain.
Some days are bright, and I smile with ease,
Other days I falter, brought down to my knees.

But I keep on dreaming, and I won’t lose my fight,
For every new dawn brings a chance to feel right.
Step by step, I’ll find my own way,
Through trials and troubles, I’ll learn to be okay.

Echo of Self

M.A.D. Works
free

All I want to do is to be free
To be me
But who am I?
I have many, I have let in their ideas,
But is that me or is that them?

Voices echo, whispers collide,
Searching for truth I try to confide.
Layers of self in the mirror’s embrace,
Finding my heart in this tangled space.

Your Canvas, Your Life

M.A.D. Works
Paint

Paint the town any color
Be who you want to be,
Let no one stop you.
Chase your dreams like stars that shine,
Dance through life, let your heart align.
With every step, let joy unfold,
In a world of colors, bright and bold.

Not Your Project!

M.A.D. Works
Charity

I am not a charity case
where you can do what you please with.
See me as my own person
who has feelings and thoughts of my own.

I have dreams that I cherish,
And hopes that ignite my soul,
Respect my journey, my choices,
For I am striving to be whole.
