Wings of Dawn

In the dawn’s gentle hue, the world awakens, 
With whispers of dreams that the night has shaken. 
Up above, where the sky meets the light, 
Wings spread wide, we embrace our flight. 

Clouds like cotton, so soft and so bright, 
Carrying hopes, taking sorrow from sight. 
Through storms and through sunshine, we’ll journey on, 
Chasing horizons until the day is gone. 

A symphony of freedom, the wind’s sweet caress, 
In every flap and flutter, we find our happiness. 
So let us soar high, let the earth slip away, 
In the boundless sky, we find our own way. 

For in every ascent, there’s a story to tell, 
Of dreams that take wing, of hearts that swell. 
So here’s to the moments when we take that flight, 
Where every adventure ignites the night.

Three Things Challenge #MM96

Your final three words for this week are:
SQUEAK
RUB
RASH

There once was a mouse with a squeak, 
Who found a soft rug in a peak. 
With a rub, it felt fine, 
But then came a line, 
Of rash on his skin, oh so bleak!

Screws Loose

The shrew has some screws loose.

They need to be tighten

but how can it be done.

I dont know what to do

Do I chance it and do it myself?

Or, do I leave it alone

and deal with her wrath?

Dreams of a Lawncare Dreamer

Your three words today are:
LAWN
COST
PRICE

Larry sat with thoughts in bloom,
Wondering why the jobs won’t zoom.
His price was fair, his heart in tune,
Dreaming of lawns beneath the moon.

With mower in hand, he’ll find his way,
To cut through doubt and seize the day.

Poetry

A Call for Understanding

Please take a step back, hear my plea,
Not everything revolves around thee.
You’re not always right, take a pause,
Lend me your ear, consider my cause.

I have some knowledge, a thing or two,
Let’s share our thoughts, me and you.
In this conversation, let’s both be wise,
Open your heart, and we can rise.

On how to pack with no slack.
With clothes neatly rolled,
And secrets upheld,
He traveled light on the track.

The Harmony of Harp and Crumpet

Your three words today are:
STRING
HARP
CRUMPET

In a land where melodies dance and leap,
A harp strummed softly, making shadows creep.
But a crumpet, so round, had a sticky jam dart,
It wiggled and giggled, stealing the harp’s heart.

“Play me a tune!” the crumpet did plead,
But the harp just laughed, “I’m not here for bread’s need!”
So they jammed together, what a quirky sight,
A stringed serenade, with a crumpet’s delight!

Now they’re quite a pair, strumming through the days,
Harp tunes and crumpets in a buttery haze!

Hibiscus Flower

In a garden where sunbeams empower,
Stood a bold and bright Hibiscus flower.
With petals so wide,
In beauty, it bides,
Turning heads with its vibrant color power!
