Three Things Challenge #M893

FORFEIT
FALSE
FAKE

In a world where shadows dance,
Forfeit dreams wander, given no chance.
False hopes that aren’t real speak in the dark,
While fake smiles hide the feelings we mark.
But through the fog, the heart can see,
A spark of love that sets us free.
For in each loss, we learn to be strong,
With every tear, it helps us go on.

Three Things Challenge #M891

REST
RISK
RENT

At night, I try to rest,
As the world fades away and dreams come out.
It’s a time to relax and breathe in fresh air,
Finding peace, with no worries or care.

But life calls to me, whispering of risk,
Encouraging me to take chances, to be brisk.
These opportunities shine bright and clear,
Prompting me to step into what I might fear.

I stand here in a place I call my own,
With walls that hold stories, feelings I’ve known.
Every corner holds a memory or a sigh,
A temporary spot as time passes by.

So I find a way to balance rest and the brave,
Knowing life needs both, it’s what I must crave.
In this mix of moments, I see the whole,
A beautiful way where my heart and spirit stroll.

ATTEST
ALTITUDE
ANGLE

High in the sky where eagles attest,
With altitude putting courage to the test,
An angle so steep,
As dreams start to leap,
In heights where the bravest find rest.

Cuddle to Infinity

Arms wrapped around tight,
Comfort found in close embrace,
Love shared in cuddles.
Time almost seems to slow down
As all troubles melt away…

Grim and grumpy, he plotted away,  
Resolute to ruin the Whos’ joyous day.  
In his heart, a cold and lonely space,  
Never understanding their warm embrace.  
Change came slowly, as love found its way,  
He discovered the meaning of Christmas that day.

Collab with Carol Anne

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Carol Anne http://therapybits.com/

I was honored to be be able to collaborate with Carol Anne.

Snowflakes softly fall, 
Whispers of joy fill the air, 
Hearts warm by the fire.

Fires crackle and glow,
Laughter dances in the night,
Winter’s calm embrace.

Whispers of Longing

M.A.D. Works

In the silence, thoughts collide,
Screaming whispers, can’t abide.
Echoes of doubt, a relentless dance,
Yearning for love, a fragile chance.

UNDER
UP
UNIFORM

Mr. Whiskers who lived down under,
Made quite a blunder.
His uniform was so bright,
Believing he could join the fight!

With stripes and stars, he felt all kinds of awesome,
but then he tripped over his tail – what a goofy moment!
He stumbled and fell, man, what a scene,
while his buddies just cracked up at his funny routine.

Colors blend and meld,
Light and warmth suffuse the air,
In harmony found.
Primary colours do mesh
to form much more complex ones…

Whispers of the Night

M.A.D. Works

On a quiet night,
Stars above shine so bright,
Whispers take their flight.

Moonlight softly glows,
Dancing shadows, gentle flows,
Nature’s calm bestows.
