A place to show my work
The radiant glistening sun
Shining through the window
Making the kids want to run
Outside to play
Until the day is done
Laughter echoes, joy on the way
Making sure they know they won
Under the sky, their dreams begun.
Creating memories, their hearts now spun.
How feet glide and sway gracefully in time.
Beneath the starry night sky,
Joy moves forward in steps.
Red nose and bright eyes,
Dancing under the big top,
Laughter fills the air.
Open your mind
To the world all around,
Beyond the boundaries of self,
There’s richness to be found.
Step into another’s shoes,
Embrace their point of view,
See the world through their eyes,
Feel the joys and sorrows, too.
Experience their moments,
Let their stories resonate,
Learn from every heart you touch,
And let compassion cultivate.
For in this shared existence,
Empathy’s a precious gain,
And in understanding others,
You will grow, and love remains.
In a garden where flowers grew wide,
A gardener felt full of pride.
With each bloom he spied,
He’d sigh, satisfied,
As nature’s beauty bloomed bright by his side.
In a ring where the wrestlers grapple,
One tripped and fell—a mighty mishap!
He rolled like a ball, with a graceful flop,
And straight into the snacks, much to their shock!
The nachos all scattered, the dip took a dive,
While spectators laughed, “That’s the most fun we’ve had live!”
With cheese on his face and a grin quite a grapple,
He stood up with pride, ready for another tackle!
Write a quick haiku
Count syllables when your through
To that style stay true.
Now to create a tanka
Add two lines with seven beats.

Where everything can exist
All at the same time.
Stars twinkle in the night sky,
Dreams dance on the soft, warm breeze.

WIn the kitchen, there’s a quirky ritual,
I sing to my toast, it’s quite habitual.
I pour the jam with a flourish and spin,
Pretending I’m a chef with a grand, silly grin.
My dog joins in with a barking dance,
As I juggle my eggs, you won’t get a chance!
I drop one on the floor, and oh, what a sight,
Eggs splatter and roll, it’s a breakfast delight!
With cereal flying and milk in my hair,
My morning routine is beyond compare.
If you ever peek in, don’t judge my thrill,
It’s just my funny breakfast ritual!
Colors blend and shine,
Nature hums a sweet soft tune,
Craftsmen shape their dreams.
Together, we find our place,
Art and life in every space.
There once was a jeep named Jester,
Who loved to explore and to test her.
One day with a beep,
It caused quite a leap,
As he zoomed past a bright yellow jester.
Be the miracle,
Transform our broken planet,
Make change for the good.
Together we can heal,
Nature’s beauty will return.
