What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

I feel like I have already answered this one, but I will go ahead and answer it again. My all-time favorite hobby is to create art. It can be by drawing, collage, painting, or artistic expression. I find joy and fulfillment in bringing my imagination to life through art. Whether it’s a detailed sketch, a vibrant painting, or a mixed media creation, creating art allows me to explore my creativity and express myself in unique and meaningful ways.

Haunted House

It has been a while since I posted my art and/or drawings, and I am going to try to do more of them going forward. I drew this haunted house in 2021. I really enjoyed working on the intricate details of the house, like the crooked windows and the spooky ghost. Capturing the eerie atmosphere of a haunted house was a fun challenge.

A slice of heaven

Sweetest delight in a plate

Sheer deliciousness.

the drippy gooey goodness

I love every scrumptious bite

Heartbreak

Sky blue you left me

Lying in an empty bed

Resting all alone.

Painful tears run down my face

For a love that never was

Poetry

Embrace Nature

Green trees and bushes
Warm gentle breeze, that pushes
Leaves fly in whooshes.
Nature’s beauty never rushes
Peaceful moments, nature hushes

Diphthongs

I’m using diphthongs
To coin a phrase and again
Mean meaning or meant.
To express my thoughts so clear
In words that resonate near

Soft Winter Sunshine

Wintery sunshine
Soft pale white translucent rays
Light everything.
Sparkling radiance shines bright.
See the beauty all around.

The jovial sprites wanted to bring peace to all
So, with all their might, they spread peace throughout the world

Climate Change

The earth is warming, the ice caps melt,
Climate change, a crisis we’ve been dealt.
Extreme weather, rising sea levels too,
The impact of our actions coming into view.

Pollution fills the air, the oceans, the land,
We must act now, we must take a stand.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, and more,
Protecting our planet for generations in store.

Renewable energy, conservation, and green,
Together, we can make a clean world.
Let’s work as one to make a change,
For a sustainable future, let’s rearrange.

A Train’s Tale

davinci_17280575648023981707770455463090

Poor Ted the train, chugging along,
Minding his business, singing a song.
When, out of the blue, a fallen tree,
Blocked his path, oh what misery!

With a puff of steam and a loud toot,
Ted tried to move it, oh what a hoot!
But the tree wouldn’t budge, it stood so tall,
Ted needed help, he couldn’t do it all.

STEP

The Stare Down

In a quiet neighborhood, there was a stare down between pets.
The dogs believed the cats stole their step and
Now, they were pests.
But the cats believed that the step was their fair and square.
So the standoff will continue until one concedes,
which, by the looks of it, will not happen
any time soon.
