Mission of Light

M.A.D. Works
Mission

In the quiet of the night,
She set out on her way,
A mission to find the bright,
To chase the dark thoughts away.

With each step, she felt the weight,
Of shadows trying to bind,
But deep inside, she found her fate,
A sparkle whispered, “You will find.”

Through valleys low and hills so high,
She sought the light that shines,
With hope like stars up in the sky,
She left behind the dark confines.

Her heart began to sing anew,
As joy replaced the fear,
Each moment felt like morning dew,
A fresh start drawing near.

So if you wander, lost in night,
Remember her brave quest,
For within each soul, there’s hidden light,
And in that truth, we’re blessed.

Max the Crafty Cat

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM99

Your three words today are:
CRAFTY
NIPPY
CHEEKY

In a town where the weather was chilly and nippy,
Lived a cat named Max, oh so crafty and cheeky.
With a flick of his tail, he’d cause such a fuss,
Sneaking treats and toys, oh, he loved to make a mess!

One fine day, he dared Rufus, the dog,
To a race by the shed—oh, what a slog!
Max dashed off so quick, leaving poor Rufus confused,
Crafty and cheeky, he simply refused to lose!

So here’s to dear Max, with his playful little ways,
In a world full of laughter, he brightens our days!

RDP Monday: SWANKY

Victoria had a dream so bright,
She longed for things that sparkled in light.
With style and grace, she made her stand,
For swanky treasures, she had it planned.

No simple joys could catch her eye,
She reached for glamour that soared high.
In every shop, her heart would race,
Chasing glitz in every place.

With swanky clothes and shiny shoes,
She knew her worth, she’d never lose.
For in her world of shimmering finds,
Victoria sought the best that shines.

Wings of Dawn

M.A.D. Works
flight

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.

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

M.A.D. Works

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

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM100

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.

A Call for Understanding

M.A.D. Works
take

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.

The Art of Packing Light

Laughing Along With A Limerick

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.
