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.

Poetry

The Art of Packing Light

Jeremy had a perfect hack,
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!

Poetry

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!

The Sweet Dilemma

Yummy, delicious cakes

So many to choose from

Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet, and many more.

Oh! which one to choose,

Too many choices

I can’t decide

Whatever will I do?

Aww, I know

I will eat them all

Nothing can go wrong with that,

Right?

Daily Prompts

Spirituality

Daily writing prompt
How important is spirituality in your life?

I believe spirituality is about caring for the human spirit or soul. It’s a significant part of my life. I often find myself worrying about other people, sometimes to the point of distraction, which makes me forget to take care of myself. However, I’ve been working on finding a better balance. I’m learning that it’s just as important to look after my own well-being while still being there for others. Taking small steps, like setting aside time for myself, is helping me grow in this area.

Poetry

Restless Soul

Oh restless soul, tossed at sea,
Yearning for calm, trying to be free.
Worries swirl like a stormy night,
Searching for peace, but finding fright.

Hands that shake, a heart that sighs,
Longing for quiet beneath dark skies.
Though chaos reigns, and stress seems great,
A spark of hope can change your fate.

So let it flow, the storm within,
Feel the strength that lies in you, begin.
With each deep breath, let worries fade,
Find your calm, in the light that’s made.
