First Name

Daily writing prompt
Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

The name Melissa means honeybee in Greek. Honeybees are known for being sweet and hardworking, which gives the name a nice meaning.

In Greek mythology, there was a nymph named Melissa who found honey and shared it with others, showing how the name is connected to caring and community.

In the Classroom’s Light

Daily writing prompt
What’s your dream job?

Once I dreamed in vibrant hues,
Inspiring minds, sharing views.
Eager faces, sparks in their eyes,
Moments of magic where knowledge flies.

But shadows grew as I dove deep,
Overwhelmed by tasks, I lost the leap.
Tests loom large, creativity fades,
In the weight of the world, my passion cascades.

I question my path, where do I belong?
Is it teaching, or something stronger?
In uncertainty’s folds, I seek to find,
A place where I flourish, heart and mind.

Three Things Challenge #M947

UNDER
UPPER
ULTIMATE

Under shadows looming,
Missy faced the pressure.
An ultimate fight brewed deep in her core,
Yearning for strength as she sought to restore.

With the upper hand in a chaotic dance,
She transformed her fears into bold, fierce chance.
Gathering courage, she learned to stand tall,
In the ultimate battle, she wouldn’t fall.

TINGE
TASTE
TOP

There once was a chef with a tinge,
Whose flavors would dance and then binge.
With a taste oh so fine,
On the top, it would shine,
Each dish was a culinary hinge!

STAY
STING
SWAT

In the garden’s glow,
Bees buzz, their hums softly stay,
A gentle warm breeze,
Yet the wasp’s quick, stinging sway,
Swat them away, peace delayed.

REST
ROAM
RUMOUR

In the quiet night, we find our rest,
Whispers of adventure stir the heart’s zest.
With dreams that roam, on pathways unseen,
Chasing all the rumour of what might have been.

Let stars be our guide, as we wander and roam,
In the stillness of night, we’ll make the world home.
