A place to show my work
Dilly-dally, softly spun,
Clouds billow, a shy sun,
Pyramids of laughter stack,
Clowning in a rhythm, no track.
Fingernails tapping, a soft beat,
Lungs inhale, pulse a retreat,
Scaffolding dreams, weaving air,
In absence, echoes stir, unaware.
Fat whispers dance, embellishment’s play,
Moments twist, then drift away,
So we twirl, round and round,
In the hum of silence, we are found.

If I had to choose three objects I couldn’t live without, they would be:
My smartphone – It’s my connection to the world, allowing me to stay in touch with family and friends, access information, and capture memories through photos.
A notebook and pen – Writing helps me organize my thoughts, brainstorm ideas, and express my creativity. There’s something special about putting pen to paper.
A good book – Whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, books provide an escape, knowledge, and inspiration. They allow me to explore new worlds and ideas from the comfort of my own space.

Memory
Moments captured, etched in time,
Echoes of laughter, a rhythm sublime.
Memories woven, threads of the past,
Overflows with feelings meant to last.
Reminders of joy, sorrow, and strife,
Yearning to hold onto the dance of life.

Precious items sent out regularly for others to cherish
Often wrapped in love and care,
Sharing joy from near and far,
Treasures of the heart, they bear.
Moments captured, memories spun,
All tied together, each one a part,
Nurturing connections, and smiles begun.

I recently came across the song “Books Are Burning” by XTC, and it really struck a chord with me because of its connection to today’s global issues. This intriguing song talks about censorship, loss, and the importance of knowledge. The lyrics express a feeling of urgency and sadness, highlighting what happens when literature and culture are destroyed.
One main issue today is censorship, a key idea in the song. Burning books is a potent symbol for eliminating knowledge and critical thinking. It shows the dangers of silencing different opinions and how far some societies might go to keep control. You can see the push to limit people’s thinking, driven by fear of an educated public.
The song also reminds us of historical moments when books were burned, linking it to times when oppressive governments tried to control information and maintain power. It gets listeners to think about how censorship has affected society, making its message relevant.
Musically, “Books Are Burning” combines upbeat tunes with profound lyrics. This contrast makes the message even more powerful, engaging the mind and the heart. The band’s music fits the urgent tone of the lyrics, creating a strong impact.
In short, “Books Are Burning” is a strong statement about the importance of literature and the risks of censorship. The song’s vivid imagery and thoughtful insights remind us how valuable knowledge is and why we must protect our freedom to think and express ourselves.

Your three words today are:
CRUSH
CURTAIL
CRUMB
In shadows we crush,
The dreams that dare to take flight,
Voices softly call,
Yet the weight of doubt is strong,
Hope’s light flickers in the night.
We must curtail fear,
As whispers scatter like crumbs,
Each step, a new chance,
To gather pieces of hope,
Rebuild what once seemed so lost.

The experiences that have had the most positive impact on my life include going through therapy for my social anxiety. Therapy gave me valuable tools and strategies to manage my thoughts and feelings more effectively. Finding the right friends has also been crucial; they created a supportive environment where I felt accepted for who I am. I’ve also learned that it’s okay to say no, which has allowed me to set boundaries and prioritize my well-being. These experiences have significantly contributed to my personal growth and confidence, and I will continue to work on all of these aspects.

There once was a fellow named Blake,
Who baked a bizarre birthday cake.
With a puff and a choke,
He shouted, “Holy smoke!”
Now his friends just can’t handle the cake!
MAD Missy 😠
Couldn’t find my favorite mug,
Rushing through the morning haze,
All the little things annoy me,
Now I’m stuck in a cranky phase.
Kids are yelling, pets are barking,
Yet deep down, I know it’s just a phase.

Your three words today are:
WRING
YES
YOB
In a small town lived a cheeky yob,
Wringing his rag, giving it a job.
“YES!” he exclaimed, with a twist and a spin,
Creating a splash, let the fun begin!
Neighbors just laughed, with a shake of their head,
As the wet little yob danced and spread joy instead!

I believe in fate and destiny because certain events in my life have felt predetermined. Sometimes, I meet people or find myself in situations that seem to align perfectly with my paths. This leads me to think that there is a greater plan at work.
