Whispers in the Night

Three Things Challenge #MM216

SHUDDER
STUTTER
SPLUTTER

In shadows deep, where whispers shudder,
Echoes dance, as thoughts begin to stutter.
A breeze sweeps through, the leaves a-splutter,
Carrying secrets that the night can utter.

Moonlight glimmers on the waters’ face,
Each ripple a story, time can’t erase.
The forest sighs, the stars commence to flutter,
In this quiet realm, the heart starts to mutter.

Yet still, there’s beauty in the faintest glimmer,
As darkness wraps around, the hopes grow slimmer.
But in the stillness, even fears may sputter,
Finding peace in silence, where shadows scatter.

Yard of Dreams

Three Things Challenge #MM220

FOOT
YARD
MILE

In a yard where dreams are sown,
With flowers bursting, colors grown,
A footstep echoes, soft and light,
As whispers dance beneath the night.

A mile away, the stars alight,
Guiding hearts through darkened plight,
Each step a journey, vast and grand,
With hope and courage, hand in hand.

So tread the path with faith anew,
With every footfall, life will ensue.
In the yard of time, we’ll plant our fate,
And walk each mile with love, not hate.

Lilly’s Light

M.A.D. Works


Lilly longed for friends,
For she had always faced taunts.
In a world that felt so cold,
She sought warmth and kindness to hold.
Together they will create a bond that never ends.

Unspoken Currents

M.A.D. Works


The silence in your words
tells me more than you can ever say.
In the quiet depths, emotions swirl,
A hidden truth beneath the fray.

Poetry

Fasteners Unite

M.A.D. Works

Screws, tacks, and nails, oh my!
In the workshop, they all do lie.
The screw got twisted and turned around,
The tack got stuck but didn’t make a sound.
And the nail, oh the nail, so strong and stout,
It held it all together without a doubt.

With hammers clanging and pliers in hand,
Each tool at the ready, we make our stand.
Crafting and building, with teamwork we strive,
Creating new wonders, our spirits alive

Poetry

True Companion

M.A.D. Works

Loyal friend, purest,

Love and comfort, warm and true,

Heart’s connection strong.

In laughter’s embrace, we find our way,
Through shadows and light, together we stay,
In every moment, precious and rare,
A bond unbroken, beyond compare.

Poetry

Olaf

M.A.D. Works

In a realm of chill and ice,
Olaf the snowman rolls the dice.
With a joyful grin and a nose of orange,
He navigates through ice, never at a loss.
He cherishes warm hugs and sunny skies,
Yet in the heat, he never sighs.
Olaf’s heart is kind and bright,
Bringing joy to all in sight.

“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes—understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.” —Ariana Huffington

Dance of the Crane and the Spider

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM217

Your three words today are:
CRANE
FLY
SPIDER

A crane takes flight across the blue,
With wings that stretch, so bold and true.
Below, a spider weaves its thread,
Crafting dreams where shadows tread.

In the sky, the crane will soar,
While the spider works from shore to shore.
Together they dance in nature’s play,
One in the air, the other at bay.
