Poetry

Awakening

In a world of shadows, where whispers reside,
I seek a horizon, where the bright dreams collide.
With each flicker of light, hope begins to ignite,
Yearning to break free from this long, endless night.

Fingers brush the surface, a journey to unfold,
Chasing soft reflections, stories yet untold.
The darkness retreats as dawn starts to play,
In the warm glow of morning, I find my way.

Poetry

Hi

Say Hi, brings smiles and cheer,
A simple hello for all to hear.
To friends and strangers, let kindness flow,
A little “hi” can brighten the glow.

Greet the old man, the child, the unknown,
Wave to the neighbor, show love you’ve grown.
A quick conversation can lift spirits high,
So let’s make the world sweeter, just say hi!

Poetry

Caution

There once was a candidate, Jack,
Whose charm was a clever old act.
But caught in a mess,
With no way to guess,
His career took a tumble—and whack!

So voters, beware of the show,
Check the facts before you bestow.
For behind all the cheer,
Could be trouble near here,
And you’ll end up with “Uh-oh!” in tow!

Summer Fun Time

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite season of year? Why?

My favorite season is summer. Summer has always been special to me because I celebrate my birthday during this time. I used to visit my grandmother’s house frequently in the summer. I also love to swim and enjoy going to the beach. The warm weather is another reason why I adore summer.

Laughing Along with a Limerick, Poetry

A Candid Exchange

In a chat where we sought to be frank,
Honesty flowed, with no need for a prank.
Words danced in the air,
With truths laid so bare,
A discussion both lively and succinctly blank.

Poetry

Endless Spiral

Round and round the circle I tread,
Thoughts in my mind, like whispers, they spread.
Each action I take, trapped in this flow,
No exit in sight, just the same ebb and glow.

Endless the journey, a dance with no end,
A spiral of feelings, around I descend.
Lost in the rhythm, where time has no claim,
Round and round I wander, forever the same.

Poetry

Man With A Pot

There once was a man with a pot,
Who always wore a stylish bowtie and top hat,
His loyal and loving pet,
Would often get wet,
From all the droplets the pot splashed on the cat!

Light to Shadows: Painting

This is my latest painting, which I created alongside my niece, who did her own. Initially, I planned to use a lighter, happier tone, but as I began painting, that didn’t feel right. So, I decided to go with a darker theme instead.

Delicate petals unfold in grace

Happiness upon seeing you brightens my day

With you around I feel like nothing can go wrong

Together we blossom, forever to stay.

Poetry, Word of the Day

The Journey of Freight

In the stillness of the night,
A train rolls by, a distant sight,
Carrying dreams, both heavy and light,
Across the tracks, with all its freight.

From bustling cities to fields so wide,
A journey taken, with hope as the guide,
Through valleys and hills, side by side,
The heartbeat of the world on a timeless ride.

With every cargo, a story to tell,
The weight of the past in each sturdy shell,
Onward it travels, through rain and through swell,
This life of freight—a life lived well.
