Abby’s Adventure

—-

Abby the adventurer 

Busily bumbling along

Curious looking for an adventure 

Daring to try new things

Even questioning her elders

Forever getting into mischief 

Going whatever strikes her fancy

Hurling into whatever she does

Itching to have some fun

Just waiting for the right one to come along

Knowing that it might not be easy but is better than 

Laying around doing nothing all day

Monkeying around

Never staying in one place

Open to new ideas

Pondering if she should

Quit

Resilient to continue 

Suddenly to her surprise, a

Tantalizing adventure awaits

Under the swings

Venturing slowly

Weighing in her mind, if

X-ray vision is needed

Yahoo she is close

Zoom off she went

Okay

Daily writing prompt
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

The word “okay” has become a default response in many of my conversations, often used as a quick and convenient answer to the “how are you?” question. It’s a way to avoid delving into deeper feelings or thoughts. As I continue to work on reducing my use of this word, I’ll remember that it’s okay to share my real feelings and experiences, even if they’re not always positive. This can create opportunities for authentic conversations and deeper connections with those around me.

I haven’t posted any of my art in a while, so I decided to post this bad boy. I love how they came out, but I did make a few coloring errors which I will learn from. Despite the coloring errors, I’m proud of the overall outcome and I can’t wait to apply the lessons learned to my future projects.

Soulful Tranquility

Beautiful, serene
Calmness takes over your soul
Forgetting all things

As the world fades away
Peace and stillness remain
In this moment, we are whole

Three Things Challenge #M807

BRUTAL
HARSH
BLOOD

The brutal and harsh words cut through me like a knife,
Imaginary blood bleeds away all my hopes and dreams,
But I rise from the ashes, stronger than before,
My spirit unbroken, my resolve unyielding,

No words can extinguish the fire in my soul,
No wounds can erase the light in my eyes,
For I am more than the pain that I bear,
I am a warrior, unafraid to rise.

Guiding Light

Heart’s whispered desire
Floating on a silver dream
Hoping for a spark

But lost in the darkness
Yearning for a light to flicker
Guiding the way through the dark

Choosing Happiness

Life,
Can be good or bad
Depending on the way you approach it
It’s up to you to choose
Whether to be happy or sad
Embrace the good, let go of the bad
For life is a journey, make the most of it
And cherish every moment you have

MAD

Poetry

Will it Come?

Will it ever come
Waiting patiently for it
Getting discouraged

Many say it will
But hope dims each passing day
Need to keep hoping.

Love’s light shines through doubt
Guiding us to brighter days
Hope, our constant guide

Under the bright solar glow,
The beauty of the lunar shines at night,
Starry skies twinkle and glimmer,
In this heavenly, wondrous dream.

No More!

No more…

will I live in fear,

will I shed a tear,

will I hide and cower,

will I wilt like a flower.

will I bear this pain,

will I let it reign,

will I be denied,

will I run and hide.

will I be weak and small,

will I let my spirit fall,

will I give up the fight,

will I fade into the night.

Uncle’s Delay

I’m sitting here waiting for my uncle,
Supposed to get medicine, now getting groceries instead,
Had I known, I’d have gone myself,
Better than waiting here, wishing I’d fled.

Vanishing Dreams

back flash vanishing tap top trip yearning blind sigh vine strong fear

In the back flash of memory’s light,
Vanishing moments slip out of sight,
Time’s tap echoes with a silent top,
As we trip through dreams that never stop.

Yearning for whispers in the blind,
We sigh for the solace we can’t find,
Like a vine, reaching for the sun’s ray,
We grow strong in our own gentle way.

Facing each fear with courage aligned,
We rise above, leaving doubts behind.
