Poetry, Word of the Day

Finding Your Star

Take a breath, don’t yell or shout,
Ranting and raving won’t help you out.
What you want may seem so far,
But keep on trying, you’ll find your star.

Though answers may not come today,
At least you’ve shown a human way.
In every step, let kindness lead,
For even small acts can plant a seed.

So gather strength, give it a go,
Even if the path feels slow.
You might not get all that you seek,
But in being real, you’ll find what’s unique.

Summer’s Embrace

Muggy outside, I step in a sweat,
My hair’s a frizz, it’s the best look yet!
The sun’s blazing hot, the air’s like a stew,
At least I don’t need a sauna—just step outside, woo!

Tension of Silence

In the examination room,
Pencil dances on the page,
Thoughts like butterflies.
A sneeze breaks the silence—you
Realize you forgot to breathe!

The Tapestry of Etiquette

Here are this week’s prompts:

  1. Write a post based on the word etiquette.
  2. Write a post in exactly 8 sentences.
  3. Tell us what you feel should be taught in school, but isn’t.
  4. If you had the attention of the world for just one minute, what would you say?
  5. Would you rather get rid of 90% of your possessions or 10% of your friends? Why?
  6. Would you rather have no long-term memory or no short-term memory? Why?

In a world where whispers dance with grace,
Etiquette weaves its gentle lace.
From shared glances to polite refrain,
It bridges hearts, easing any pain.

With a nod and smile, respect takes flight,
In every gathering, a guiding light.
So let us honor the threads we coalesce,
For kindness and manners bring us together, no less.

Dream – Six Word Story Prompt #135

Chasing dreams under the starry sky.

Poetry, Word of the Day

Ritual

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!

Poetry, Word of the Day

Have Faith

In the dark when hope feels small,
Whisper softly, hear the call.
When the road seems rough and long,
Hold on tight, be brave, be strong.

Through the storms and skies so gray,
Keep your heart and fears at bay.
For in the end, when shadows part,
You will find joy in your heart.

So when the days are filled with strife,
Just remember, have faith in life.

The Dance of the Digits: A Millennium’s Challenge

Your three words today are:
DOUBLE
MILLENNIUM
SEQUENCE

In every millennium, a contest unfolds,
A challenge of wits, a riddle of old.
With treasures of fortune, you stand to gain,
But to seize the riches, you must use your brain.

A sequence awaits, so cunning and sly,
Its patterns obscure, like clouds in the sky.
With numbers that dance in a cryptic ballet,
You’ll unlock the mystery, if you find the right way.

So gather your courage, prepare for the test,
The thrill of the puzzle is what I love best.
For in solving the enigma, your fortune will bloom,
Double the riches, brightening your room.

Embrace every challenge, let intuition steer,
For in each step taken, your path will be clear.
In the dance of the digits, let your mind take flight,
In the heart of the contest, you’ll find your delight.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

There once was a chef with keen eyes,
Who crafted the best golden fries.
With a crunch and a taste,
None ever went to waste,
Now diners all rave and capsize!

Nerd

In the world of books and dreams,
Where knowledge shines like bright sunbeams,
With each page and every word,
Enjoy the joy of being a nerd.

Curiosity lights the fire,
A deep passion, an endless desire.
Exploring places near and far,
In your mind, you can be a star.

With glasses resting on your nose,
You see beauty in facts that others oppose.
The wonders of science, the art of the pen,
In a nerd’s heart, there’s always a calm again.

So let them laugh, let them tease,
In your own world, you feel at ease.
You use knowledge like a mighty sword,
In the story of life, you’re truly adored.

Celebrate the quirks, the things that you love,
In a bright universe, you’re a gift from above.
So, stand tall, be proud, let your spirit be heard,
For every dreamer and thinker is a wonderful nerd.

Charged Mischief: A Night to Remember

At the spectacular party, laughter echoed as a deadbeat wandered in, his cat trailing behind. He stumbled upon an old, septic battery, hidden in a corner. With a smirk, he thought of its potential. “Let’s electrify this party,” he whispered, eyeing a crowd ready for mischief.

The Dancing Chicken: Laughing Along With A Limerick

There once was a chicken with eggs,
Who danced on her wobbly legs.
With a cluck and a twirl,
She made quite a whirl,
And made all the other birds beg!

Winter Whimsy

How was your weekend? Cold, if you live here in the UK! Here’s an apt new limerick challenge for the start to this week:

SNOW

In winter, when snow starts to fall,
It blankets the earth, covering all.
With laughter and cheer,
We build snowmen near,
And sled down the hills with a call!

POST

In silence where dreams are made,
It is on, a challenge laid.
With pen in hand, let’s start the run,
Now who will finish this poem first, fun?

Words move like shadows, quick and bright,
A mix of ideas that spark delight.
Each line a step in this journey we take,
As we chase the muse, both real and fake.

Let our thoughts soar, let our rhymes connect,
Dive into the well of what we reflect.
Time is ticking, the moment is here,
To share our feelings, loud and clear.

With courage and heart, let your art shine,
Together we write, our thoughts align.
So, share what you’ve crafted when your poem is done,
In this race of ideas, we all are one.
