Fun and escape.

Fun Math
Math is cool
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Oh, what fun!
—–
Addition is first
One plus one equals two
Look at me!
—-
Next is Subtraction
Watch out can be tricky
Nope not today
—
Third is multiplication
I get it, repeated addition
Is the way
—
Lastly its division
Equal shares are needed for all
On a roll
—
Come and Try
Fun with math is waiting
Just keep trying.

CRY
WAIL
SOB
When tears fall, we see the pain,
A wail escapes, like pouring rain.
We sob and ache, our fragile hearts,
Seeking solace as sadness departs.

Social Anxiety

The thought of judgment, the fear of rejection
Keeps me locked in my own self-protection
I watch from afar, wishing I could be
A part of the laughter, the joy, the glee
But my mind plays tricks, telling me lies
That I’m not good enough, that I should hide
So I retreat back into my shell
Where it’s safe and quiet, away from the swell
Of people and noise, the chaos of life
Where my social anxiety cuts like a knife
But deep down inside, I know it’s not true
That I am worthy, just like you
So I’ll take a deep breath, and step out once more
Facing my fears, opening the door
To a world of possibilities, of connections and love
Where my social anxiety can’t hold me above
I’ll break free from its grip, and live my life
Out and about, without fear or strife.

WORRY
ANXIOUS
EMOTIONAL
Worry consumes like fog that’s here to stay,
Anxious thoughts won’t seem to go away.
Emotions running wild, hard to control,
But in the end, peace consoles the soul.

HORRIFIC
MUNDANE
NORMAL
There once was a day so horrific,
Work conflicts made it quite specific,
But chatting with a friend,
On his book had no end,
Making the mundane truly terrific.

Sweetheart Tree- Poem and Artwork
Sweetheart Tree
Underneath the old oak’s shade,
Stands a tree where lovers strayed.
No name carved into its bark,
Just the echoes of hearts sparked.

TABLET
SCREEN
KEYS
In the dim glow of the screen,
I tap the keys, lost in a digital dream,
My tablet a window to worlds unseen,
Where words flow like a serene stream.

Say “Hi” Day
Say Hi Day is an annual holiday celebrated on June 11 in memory of Joseph Anthony Cinotti, a special needs teen who passed away at the age of 15. Cinotti consistently made it a practice to warmly greet everyone he encountered, and his positive and cheery disposition endeared him to his local community. I have written a poem to help celebrate
HI
Say Hi Day is a day of cheer
A day to spread the love and spread the cheer
It’s a day to smile and say hello
To friends and strangers, let your kindness show
It doesn’t take much, just a simple hello
To brighten someone’s day, to make their heart glow
A small gesture of kindness, a simple hi
Can make a difference, can lift someone high
On this day, let’s break the ice
Let’s put aside our differences, let’s be nice
Say hi to the old man sitting on the street
Say hi to the child with the dirty feet
Say hi to the neighbor you’ve never met
Say hi to the teacher you’ll never forget
Say hi to the barista who makes your coffee
Say hi to the stranger who looks a little lonely
A simple hi can start a conversation
It can bring people together, it can create a relation
It shows that you care, that you took the time
To acknowledge someone, to make them feel fine
So on this day, spread the hi’s
Spread the joy, the love, and the surprise
Say hi to everyone you meet
And make Say Hi Day a day that’s sweet.

An Elect Named Jack
There once was an elect named Jack
Who always seemed to be on the attack
But when he was caught
For a crime he thought he’d not
He was nothing but a suspect in fact
He swore up and down he was innocent
But the evidence was just too apparent
So they had to reject
His protests and deflect
As he was found guilty in the end
His supporters were shocked and dismayed
But the truth could no longer be swayed
For all his charm and wit
He was just a counterfeit
And his political career would soon fade
So beware of those who seek to elect
For they may have secrets they protect
Don’t be swayed by their words
Look deeper and observe
Or you may end up with a suspect to reject.

CROWD
CLOWN
CITRUS
Citrus Clown
In the center of the town,
There was a funny little clown,
With a citrus colored suit,
And a smile that was astute.
He performed for a massive crowd,
Making them laugh oh so loud,
With his silly jokes and tricks,
He had them all in hysterics.
He juggled lemons and limes,
Danced around like he had no time,
But the funniest part of all,
Was when he tripped, making everyone fall.
The crowd couldn’t stop laughing,
As the clown continued his acting,
He made faces and silly sounds,
On the stage, he was surely crowned.
But as he reached for a citrus fruit,
He accidentally dropped it, oh what a hoot,
The audience erupted in cheers,
As the clown pretended to shed tears.
With his orange hair and red nose,
He had the crowd on their toes,
Never had they laughed so much,
Thanks to this clown with a citrus touch.
So if you’re feeling down,
Just go and find this funny clown,
With his bright and zesty flair,
He’ll have you laughing without a care.

Artwork for Beauty’s Happy Thoughts
Poem by Anthony
Beauty’s Happy Thoughts – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)
—-
Beauty, stood alone, collecting her thoughts.
She collected them, safely storing each.
Not conflicted by her haves and have nots.
A happy contentment just in her reach.
Sweet feeling inside like a summer peach.
Her lived life thus far has been far from fair.
Now she floats through, almost lighter than air.
Filled with a strength she thought she’d never have.
Strolling down the boulevard with a flare.
A fulfilled life that she’d happily grab.

Ode to Dr. Pepper
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
Oh sweet nectar of the Gods,
You bubble and fizz like a symphony,
In a world filled with colas,
You stand out with your unique taste.
With 23 flavors in every sip,
You tantalize my taste buds,
From the first refreshing gulp,
To the last lingering drop.
You’re a perfect blend of sweet and spice,
A refreshing burst of cherry and vanilla,
Your caramel notes dance on my tongue,
Leaving me craving for more.
You’ve been around for over a century,
A timeless classic that never gets old,
You’ve survived wars and depressions,
A true icon, a legend to behold.
From Elvis to Ferris Bueller,
You’ve been featured in pop culture,
A constant companion in every occasion,
A drink that brings people together.
Oh Dr. Pepper, you’re more than a soda,
You’re a symbol of joy and happiness,
A refreshing reminder to enjoy the little things,
In a world that’s always in a rush.
So here’s to you, my beloved drink,
My go-to when I need a pick-me-up,
You’ll always hold a special place in my heart,
Oh Dr. Pepper, you’re simply the best.
