Trust in Friendship

In friendships wide, there’s much to find,
But trust is the quality that’s most kind.
A bond built strong on truth and care,
In laughter and sorrow, they’re always there.

Honest words that never sway,
Promises kept, come what may.
Loyal hearts that stand so tall,
Ready to catch you if you fall.

With trust, we share our joys and fears,
In their embrace, we wipe our tears.
So here’s to friends, both near and far,
Trust makes us shine like the brightest star.

The Blues

You can participate HERE

A shadow falls across the room,
As twilight fades to gray,
A quiet touch of midnight blues
That steals the light away.

But music drifts upon the breeze,
A soft and healing sound,
And in the rhythm of the blues,
A deeper peace is found.

Challenge

Beam

The Daily Spur is our host. You can join in HERE

The moon lets down a silver beam
To dance upon the quiet stream,
Turning the dark and restless night
Into a world of soft delight.

Challenge, Poetry, Word of the Day

Opinionated

Openly sharing what rolls through the mind,
Persistent in views that are sharply defined.
Insisting on paths that they believe to be right,
Never back down from a spirited fight.
Indifferent to critics who try to oppose,
Onward they push where their certainty goes.
Not easily swayed by the crowd or the trend,
Always prepared to defend their own stance.
Talking with passion, conviction, and pride,
Eager to speak what is brewing inside,
Decided and firm, they won’t step aside.

Poetry

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.

A Festive Feast of Flavors


Gleaming sweets adorned with cheer,
Indulging every taste, oh dear!
Nutty spices fill the air,
Golden edges, crisp and rare.
Every bite a festive delight,
Rich and warm, a cozy sight.
Baked with love, a timeless treat,
Reaping joy, so rich and sweet.
Each piece tells a story bold,
A holiday tradition to behold.
Dancing flavors, memories unfold.

Poetry

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!

Poetry

See the Light

To see the light
You must brave the night.

To make your life bright,
And banish your fright.

Happy Mother’s Day

Magnificent in every way,
Open arms to guide and sway.
Tender heart that always cares,
Holding memories through the years.
Endless love, a constant light,
Reflecting warmth, both day and night.

Knocked Down (Hard)

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony, mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

Forceful impact’s sound
Resonating through the air
Strength and power shown
Reeling back from the hard blow
Falling on cold hard asphalt…

Poetry

Whispers in the Wind 💨

In the hush of twilight’s sigh, 

Grains dance, like shadows passing by, 

Each a story, silent and small, 

Carried forth, heedless of all. 

Through the dunes, a gentle sweep, 

Voices of the earth, secrets to keep, 

The sighing sands, a lullaby, 

Echoes of time, beneath the sky.

Fleeting whispers, a soft embrace, 

Shadows weaving in an endless chase, 

As the winds weave tales of old, 

In every grain, a memory told.

Listen closely, hear the grace, 

In the dance of grains, find your place, 

For in the whispers, the world is spun, 

A tapestry of night and sun.

Poetry

Amidst the Chaos

Amidst the chaos, serenities reign above,
A tranquil heart knows not the world’s dismay,
Like still waters, reflecting stars thereof,
In gentle whispers, life finds its soft way.
The calmest days are gifts that we can love,
Where moments linger, stretching into gray,
In nature’s arms, we seek a sweet reprieve,
Finding our solace in what we believe.
