Richard the Dashing Rat

M.A.D. Works

Richard the radiant rat,
Was quite dashing, imagine that!
From dawn until dusk,
He’d prance without fuss,
In his fancy and snug little hat.

The Man with a Heart of Gold

M.A.D. Works


A man with a heart of gold
Everyone who meets him, their hearts unfold
A smile that lights up the darkest room
With him around, there’s never any gloom

His determination, an inspiring sight
No challenge too big, he’ll take it on
With him by your side, you’ll never feel alone

His love for life, infectious and true
He’ll do anything for the people he knew
A friend to all, he’ll lend an ear
His advice, always sincere

So here’s to a man like no other
May his light continue to shine forever
In our hearts, he’ll always stay
A man in every single way.

In a Blink

M.A.D. Works


In a blink, the world can shift, treasures fall like autumn’s drift.
What you held, both bright and near, can vanish, leaving silence clear.

The laughter fades, the echoes still, dreams dissolve against the will. Hands once full now grasp the air, reminding hearts of what’s not there.

Yet in the loss, a seed is sown, to teach the soul what can be grown.
For though the moment may be gone, its shadow lingers, carrying on.

What If

M.A.D. Works
Reposted poem

What if,
the sun refused to rise,
And the moon decided not to set?

What if,
the stars fell from the skies,
And the oceans all dried up and left?

What if,
birds forgot to sing,
And flowers never bloomed again?

What if,
winter forgot to bring
Snowflakes gently falling, now and then?

What if,
love ceased to exist,
And kindness disappeared from sight?

What if,
hope could not persist,
And darkness banished all the light?

But even in these what if’s, true,
There’s strength in us and ways to cope.
For in our hearts, the answers brew,
And we’ll find our way through, with hope.

In the Gentle Light of Day

M.A.D. Works


In the gentle light of day,
The shadows dance and sway,
Whispers of laughter linger,
As the world begins to play.

A child’s dreams take flight,
Imagination so bright,
With every joyful gesture,
The heart ignites with delight.

In the gentle light of day,
Memories start to replay,
Each moment a treasure,
In a never-ending ballet.

Through laughter and through tears,
We cherish fleeting years,
Embracing all the chapters,
Delighted by our peers.

In the gentle light of day,
The shadows dance and sway,
Carving paths of joy and wonder,
As we bask in love’s bouquet.

Chasing Dreams

M.A.D. Works

In a vault of dreams,

A horse racing on,

Hooves pounding the ground,

Chasing dreams

Through meadows and fields,

Underneath the sunlit,

Their spirit untamed,

In the race of life

Sunlight on Soft Grass

M.A.D. Works


As sunlight dances on the soft grass fair,
The whispers of joy drift gently on air.
With every heartbeat, bonds we tightly weave,
In this sweet haven, I choose to believe.
The world outside fades, leaving us in bliss,
Each cherished moment a treasure we kiss.
Together we stand, facing life’s sweet delight,
In love’s embrace, we banish the night.

Poetry

Mirage

M.A.D. Works

Upon the desert’s golden seam,
Shimmers a distant, fleeting dream.
Beneath the sun’s relentless eye,
Hopes appear, then swiftly die.

Waves of heat curl in the air,
Promises vanish, thin as prayer.
Chasing shadows, hearts aspire,
Yearning for water, fueled by fire.

Illusions dance upon the sand,
Never quite within your hand.
A vision teases, slips away,
Leaving thirst at close of day.

Yet still we wander, undeterred,
By silent whispers barely heard.
For every mirage leads us on,
To find the truth when hope is gone.
