In a patch of round pumpkins, one stood square,
Different and unique, but beyond compare.
It inspired others to embrace what makes them distinct,
For in being true to ourselves, we find strength to coexist.

The Sweet Toothed Furry Blue Beast
In Sesame Street, there’s a furry blue beast,
Eating cookies, he never seized,
Cookie Monster is his name,
Satisfying his sweet tooth is his game.

Strawberry: Artwork and a poem
Oh, sweet and juicy strawberry,
So bright and full of flavor,
Your red hue and tender flesh,
Fill my senses with joy and savor,
From fields to my plate,
You bring delight that’s true,
In desserts and snacks,
Oh strawberry, how I love you!

Embracing Uniqueness
There once was a chubby young miss
Whose dream was pure bliss
To be popular and adored
By all those she adored
But unique she was, true as a kiss
Her laughter bubbled like a stream
Her kindness a radiant beam
But the girls at school
Were awfully cruel
Mocking her size, so mean
She tried to fit in, oh how she tried
But her uniqueness could not hide
Her love for books and art
Set her apart
But still, she yearned to be by their side
One day she decided no more
To change who she was at her core
With confidence and grace
She embraced her own space
And in that, she found so much more
For the boys and girls soon saw
Her true beauty, without flaw
Unafraid to be herself
She found a wealth
Of friends who loved her for all
Now the chubby girl who was once shy
Shines bright, reaching for the sky
Her uniqueness, her power
In every single hour
She’s popular, not just to comply
So remember, my dear, be true
To yourself, always be you
For your uniqueness is beauty
A gift, not a duty
Cherish it, let it shine through

Flying Free
In the open sky,
A kite flying free and high,
Dancing with the wind.
Graceful and serene,
It soars above the treetops,
A colorful dream.
Tugging at the string,
I feel its energy,
Connecting us both.
The sun shining bright,
I watch as it dips and dives,
In joyful delight.
A symbol of peace,
Floating on the breeze so light,
Bringing me release.
In this moment, I,
Am one with nature’s beauty,
And the kite up high.
With each gentle tug,
I guide it through the sky blue,
A dance of pure love.
The world fades away,
As I lose myself in flight,
Soaring high today.
Oh, kite flying free,
You bring me such joy and peace,
My heart dances with glee.
Embracing the sky,
In unity with all things,
A kite flying high.

Sadness: Artwork and Poem
Sadness
—
Tears of pain
Not knowing what to do
To end the tears
Why can’t I be happy
Why was it taken away
What do I need to do
To feel the joy again.

Fleeing Chicks
Oh no, oh no, the chicks have fled,
Playing peek-a-boo and turning everything red.
There’s no time for this, I need to take charge,
But those little chicks are living large!
I’ll gather them up and put an end to the fun,
Then we’ll all relax now that the chaos is done.

Think Before Speaking
Need to think
Before I speak
The words tumble out
Before I had a chance
To stop them
The instant silence is deafening
Many scenarios playing in my head
On how to fix what I have said and what they are thinking
But none of them play out
I instantly apologize
Hoping that they forgive
Waiting patiently

Here is a slender version of Winnie the Pooh. I like how it turned out. I just wish he were a little chunkier, but I will work on it.

Watching Eyes
Eyes are watching
Every move that you make
Or are they
Or is it
Your imagination playing tricks again
To scare you
Making you believe
That you are being judged constantly
What’s the truth?

Happy 4th of July: Artwork and Poem
On the 4th of July, all dressed in red, white, and blue,
We celebrate America, and all the fun things we can do.
We watch fireworks light up the sky,
And have a barbecue with burgers and apple pie.
We wave flags and march in a parade,
And spend time with family, not in the shade.
So, let’s cheer for the USA, our land so grand,
Happy 4th of July let’s give a hand!

The sun is really hot in the summer,
The air is thick, and the sky is bright.
The trees look beautiful with their leaves glowing,
Children have fun playing in the heat,
Everything feels happy and alive.

Because summer is really special.

Oh Joshua Tree, it has been a spell
I need to visit soon, I can already tell
How I have missed you, under the sky so free
And the things I can see, make my soul flee
