There once was a giant who’d sass,
While sipping from one massive glass.
But a sneeze from his gland,
Shook the whole forest land,
And startled the birds as they passed.
A Giant with Sass

Growing Colder
Each day, the weather’s growing colder
Where we curl up close beneath the cover
Just the two of us
Talking soft because

Almost
Word of the Day Challenge 2/15/26
I tried to hook up
With a moment of calm today—
It flirted, then fled.
Inward Compass
Embracing yourself
Guide you through tough times ahead.
You can’t stop yourself.
Step by step, you’ll find your way—
Rooted, steady, moving on.
As I Think and Tinker Away
As I think and tinker away,
I leave a trail of quiet lines behind—
soft echoes of the moments
my mind wandered farther than my hands.
Each thought becomes a footprint,
each idea a small lantern dropped
for whoever might follow
the winding path I made.
And though the work is never finished,
the trail is proof I was here—
thinking, tinkering,
shaping something out of the unseen.
Colour Pallet
Many colours wait
Ready for use, on a plate
There is no debate
Wanting to be a showpiece
So, take your time and inspire…

Benefit of the Doubt
You had the benefit of the doubt,
a gift I gave without question.
I thought kindness could rewrite you,
thought patience could shift the truth.
But some stories don’t change,
and some hearts don’t open—
no matter how gently they’re held.
Tooth
A molar strong, firm
Chewing through tough, fibrous food
Incisor sharp, keen
Biting into life’s delights
Teeth, nature’s tools, serve us well

“The man who has confidence in himself gains the confidence of others.” – Hasidic Proverb
Unclaimed Baggage in Alabama, a company that sells the contents of unclaimed luggage, has come across some pretty strange stuff over the years. In 2023, memorable items included two live snakes, prop body parts from Saw 2004 in a Halloween card signed by Richard Nixon.
Essence of You
The essence of you lives inside me
Like whispers of love drifting endlessly.
Juicy Apple
Red, round, juicy apple,
delicious with each bite—
a crisp burst of sweetness
satisfying your taste buds
until the next meal arrives.
Always waiting in the bowl,
always a healthy snack to have.
Socialize
Shindigs causing alarm within you
Opening up to others is challenging
Conversational talk makes you think they are judging
Introductions are the worst, where to go from there
Allowing yourself to breathe becomes the first step
Letting the moment unfold without pressure
Inviting small courage to sit beside the fear
Zoning out less as you ground yourself again
Eventually realizing connection doesn’t have to hurt
Heart ❤️
Now, let me
in your
heart
We are destined
to be
together
Hold
my trembling
hope
Trust and Honesty
——————————
Trust, never taken
Instead, it’s given freely
Shared among us all
Be cautious; don’t do something
That will make them not trust you…
