A place to show my work

Here are this week’s questions:
1. Do you like snow? I like snow in small increments, and luckily, I live somewhere where I can do that.
2. Did you build a snowman as a child and dress it with coal eyes, a carrot nose, etc.? When I was able to go to the mountains when there was snow, I did build a snowman, but I did not dress it up because the trips were last minute, and we didn’t bring snowman-building supplies, lol.
3. Did you have snowball fights? Yes, there was one time when my sister and brothers were old enough to indulge in a snowball fight.
4. Did you have a sleigh? Unfortunately, no, I do not.
Gratitude:

WONKY
BONKERS
NUTS

In a land that’s quite wonky, lived a man named Bert,
With shoes made of lettuce and a hat full of dirt.
He danced with the squirrels and sang silly tunes,
Juggling some acorns beneath the bright moons.
“Oh, isn’t he bonkers?” the people would say,
As he rode on a goat and laughed all the way.
So if your day’s boring and you need some fun,
Just think of old Bert and let laughter run!

You are special
You are unique
You are one of a kind
You are a rare diamond that people seek after
You shine with a brilliance all your own,
You inspire and uplift those around you,
You are a treasure in a world that often feels blue.
You are a masterpiece and so much more.

In busy halls where whispers play,
Popularity shines bright each day.
Smiles are masks, hiding some pain,
Hearts grow heavy under the fame.
We chase the glow, wanting to be seen,
But true worth is found in moments serene.
While others seek what fades away,
I’ll cherish the love that’s here to stay.
Amidst the glitter, I’ve come to see,
True light comes from inside me.
It’s in the bonds that feel so real,
That’s where my heart learns how to heal.

Your challenge for the week


In a town with bright sunshine,
Lived a man named Tony, so fine.
With a smile and a heart full of cheer,
He loved to laugh and spread joy near.
Never a phony, just kind and true,
Handsome and helpful, with friends old and new.
But deep inside, he felt a need,
For someone special, to share his good deeds.
So, Tony kept shining, with hope each day,
Believing that love would soon come his way.

Aiming for goals, dreams in our sight,
Passion ignites, making spirits take flight.
Pathways to progress, we eagerly trace,
Learning and growing at our own pace.
In every endeavor, we strive to engage,
Creating connections as we turn the page.
Action and focus, our future in hand,
Taking each step, together we stand.
Inspiration found in the journey we share,
Opening doors, with courage we dare.
Nurturing visions, a world to explore.

In the calm of the evening,
Shadows stretch and sigh,
Memories feel heavy,
Soft whispers float by.
Laughter once filled the air,
Now it echoes in the trees,
Each sound a reminder
Of moments lost like leaves.
Though distance pulls us apart,
Your memory means a lot,
In my heart, you’re always close—
In every song I’ve got.

Sitting in the car
Waiting for my uncle now
Grocery shopping
Hoping he will come out soon
To enjoy this sunny day…

Ban

In the quiet places where shadows lie,
Books are banned, but truth won’t die.
History fades when we turn away,
Let’s not lose the past today.
Guardians of knowledge, take a stand,
Protect the stories of our land.
For in the light of words, we find,
The power to shape what’s in our mind.

The sun goes down, the sky is bright,
Golden sand and ocean light.
I love the beach; it feels so good,
Waves that play, just like they should.
Seashells shine, and laughter’s near,
All my worries disappear.
In sunny days and starry skies,
The beach, my home, where my heart flies.
MAD 11/22/24

Frustration sets in, words caught in flight,
Need to say them, but they don’t come out right.
Misunderstood whispers, lost in the air,
Thought I was improving, but do I dare?
Each fix feels like labor, each word a retreat,
Struggling to express what’s deep and discreet.
Yet in every stumble, a flicker of light,
I’ll embrace my own voice, finding strength in the fight.
