A place to show my work
Your three words today are:
ROW
ARGUMENT
SILLY
In a cozy café, four friends in a row,
Began a debate that started off slow.
They argued and bickered, oh what a sight,
Over who had the best secret cookie bite.
One claimed it was chocolate, another was nuts,
While one waved her hands, saying, “You’re all butts!”
They laughed and they shouted, it turned quite absurd,
A silly argument with barely a word.
So next time in cafés, if tensions arise,
Just remember to laugh, and share silly pies!
All the bells and whistles, shiny and bright,
Pretty little bows that sit on top of presents,
With ribbons so neat, and colors so pleasant,
All that is waiting for is the elves’ delight,
To press the buttons, so they can be sent,
On their merry way, with joy and sheer delight.
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.
Adult tantrums,
Tempered and wild,
Grown-ups acting like a child.
Frustrations unchecked,
Emotions untamed,
Rationality, completely drained.
—
Words thrown like daggers,
Actions fueled by rage,
A storm brewing on life’s stage.
But when the storm passes,
And the dust settles down,
Regret and shame, wearing a frown.
—
For in this moment,
We forget our age,
And unleash our inner rage.
—
So let’s take a breath,
And count to ten,
Before we lose ourselves again.
Adult tantrums,
Tempered they may be,
But the damage they cause, we’ll forever see.
There’s work to be done
Time to get at it
Dreams come true with work
Manifest, see it happen
It will all fall into place…

Mountains touch the sky
Majestic peaks standing tall
Silent guardians.
In complete chaos
The life we are living in
No light to be seen
Only these small smatterings
Not quite enough to read by…
-MAD/AAA 07/15/2024
Words unspoken,
Emotions buried deep,
Frustration simmers.
With you, I feel lost.
Communication fails,
Broken promises hurt.
Comfort from someone
Is needed but will it come
Hoping and dreaming
To receive all that support
Complete with reassurance…

Annie was in her smock, painting away,
Creating scenes of joy, in every stroke she’d convey,
All the stuff that she enjoys, her heart poured into art,
But then along came Agustus, with a scoff and a snarky remark.
Tears glistened in her eyes, as her enemy belittled her creation,
Her work was special and dear, a masterpiece in her imagination.
I am abandoned
Dropped just like a bad habit
Really a sad thing
Lonely and forlorn, I weep
Longing for warmth and solace

In shadows cast, whispers pass,
A heart in turmoil, the weight of harass.
Silent cries in the still of the night,
Hope flickers softly, a brave little light.
Each word a pebble, tossed in a stream,
Rippling fears that disrupt the dream.
But strength hides beneath the weight of the pain,
A spirit unyielding, rising again.
For every harsh word, a kindness to find,
In the depths of the struggle, hope intertwined.
With courage as armor, through storms we will clash,
Together we stand, no longer to harass.
Golden paradise
Swaying palm trees, quiet ocean
Relaxation from stress
Greeted with salty breezes
And scented sun tan lotion…
-MAD/AAA 07/15/2024
I feel like a fraud,
In shadows of doubt, I tread.
What’s real, what’s illusion,
In this maze inside my head.
Am I the only one to wear
This mask of silent dread?
Please share this heavy burden,
Together, we’ll forge ahead.
We are not alone, it’s true,
In this echo of our plight.
Hand in hand, we’ll seek the light,
Finding solace in the night. not alone in this…
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.
