Fasteners Unite
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
True Companion
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.
Olaf
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
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.
Radiant Embrace
The Sun
Blazing down on us
Warming our skin with light.
It dances through the trees.
Solar
Pluto or Bust
Paul the porcupine had a plan
He was going to build a plane
To leave this planet and head to Pluto
A daring journey, he was determined to go

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” —Confucius
Creative Choices
In a world where choices flow,
Type a slash to let it show,
Select a block, let thoughts align,
A simple step, your voice, your sign.
Isolation
A lonely echo,
Walls close in on the stillness,
Silence speaks alone.
Guiding Light
In the dark night sky, a lantern glows,
Guiding lost souls where the soft wind blows

A Lesson in Laughter
Your three words today are:
COURSE
COARSE
CURSE
In a classroom, a teacher with force,
Taught a lesson with flair and of course.
Though the language was coarse,
It invoked a sly curse,
And the kids laughed in joyful discourse!
