Prickly pears do stick,
Natal plums are quite bitter,
Breadfruit is unique.
Under the sun they grow bright,
Nature’s gifts in warm daylight.

The Adventures of Carol the Curious Cat
Carol was a curious cat
Who was looking for an adventure
Through the backyard will be an adventure
Carol was a curious cat
–
Who was looking for an adventure
First, through the sliding glass door
Even though this part is a bore
Who was looking for an adventure
–
First, through the sliding glass door
Then up the tall oak tree
Where she dreamed to be free
First, through the sliding glass door
–
Then up the tall oak tree
With a view of the world so wide
Where she felt her joy and pride
Then up the tall oak tree
–
Where she dreamed to be free
Chasing shadows in the sun
Where every moment was pure fun
Where she dreamed to be free
–
With a view of the world so wide
She spotted a butterfly dance
Inviting her to take a chance
With a view of the world so wide
–
Chasing shadows in the sun
Carol leaped with playful grace
Each leap an adventure to embrace
Chasing shadows in the sun
–
Where every moment was pure fun
She pranced and twirled with glee
In her backyard kingdom, so carefree
Where every moment was pure fun
–
Carol was a curious cat
Who was looking for an adventure
Through the backyard will be an adventure
Carol was a curious cat
Shadows of Fear
Fear of judgment lingers,
Tightly grasping what we know.
Letting go is hard,
Leaves no space for us to grow,
In shadows, dreams remain low.
Echoes of Longing
Absence makes hearts long,
Time apart can teach us well,
Memories like threads,
Woven through the silent nights,
Love’s echo grows stronger still.
Winter’s Embrace
In winter’s hush, the world is draped in white,
As whispers of the frost dance in the night.
–
The trees stand tall, their limbs like lace,
While moonlight glows, casting a serene embrace.
–
The stars above twinkle in the cold,
A blanket of diamonds, their stories untold.
–
Footprints crunch softly on the glistening ground,
In this quiet wonder, peace can be found.
–
In this tranquil moment, time ceases to flow,
As winter’s magic lingers, in its gentle glow.
A Canvas in the Sky
In the sky where the bright sun does gleam,
Clouds drift by like a soft, gentle dream.
With birds soaring high,
And the stars in the sky,
It’s a canvas that dances, it seems.
A Sweet Delight
Chewy
Scrumptious candy
Dancing on my sweet tongue
Joyful tastes wrapped in colors.
Delight
Temperature Rhymes
Hot
Scorch, Swelter
Sizzling, burning, radiating
Fire, Sun, Ice, Snow
freezing, shivering, numbing
Chilly, frigid
Cold
Evolution of Television
Watching the TV
Is very different today
Than its inception.
Colors bright, stories unfold,
Bringing us all close together.

Whispers of Serenity
Contemplate quiet
Think hard as silence surrounds
Peaceful place, indeed.
Gentle breeze whispers my thoughts,
Nature’s calm wraps me in light.

Verses in Bloom
In April’s light, the verses bloom,
Words dance on pages, dispelling gloom.
With ink and heart, we craft and share,
A tapestry woven from dreams laid bare.
Whispers of nature, love’s sweet refrain,
Stories of joy, or of lingering pain.
Each line a heartbeat, a breath, a sigh,
In this vibrant month, let our spirits fly.
So lift your pen to the sky and write,
For poetry’s magic ignites the night.
In honor we gather, each voice a part,
Breathing life into art, straight from the heart.
Threads of Dreams
In the quiet hush of night’s embrace,
A tapestry of whispers starts to trace,
Threads of hopes in a colorless seam,
We wander through the fabric of our dreams.
Stars ignite in the velvet sky,
Each a beacon where wishes fly,
Floating on clouds, we dance and twirl,
In realms where time begins to unfurl.
Mountains of possibility rise so high,
Rivers of wonder weaving by,
In this sacred space, where hearts can gleam,
We find our courage, we dream our dream.
Fears take flight on wings of light,
Shadows retreat from the dawn’s first sight,
For in every heartbeat, every gleam,
Lies the magic woven in the threads of dreams.
So chase the stars, let your spirit soar,
For in the land of dreams, we’re never poor,
With every vision, every silent scream,
We carve our stories, we dare to dream.
Logan the Creative
There once was a fellow named Logan,
Whose ideas turned into a slogan.
With a wink and a smile,
He made crowds stay awhile,
In his town, creativity’s golden!
Twilight’s Embrace
In twilight’s glow, a soft drape falls,
Whispers of evening through shadowed halls.
Gentle as dreams that linger and sway,
Wrapping the world in a tender ballet.
Stars peek through the fabric of night,
Each glimmer a promise, a flicker of light.
With every thread, a story unfolds,
In the delicate drape, life’s secrets are told.
A Whimsical Dawn of Laughter
In the cool of dawn, with mischief in the air,
I hatched a little scheme with a playful flair.
A whispered secret, a wink, a nod,
Eager for laughter, a good-natured prod.
I set the stage with a glint in my eye,
A whoopee cushion, oh my, oh my!
Planted with care on the chair of my friend,
Anticipation building, would they comprehend?
As they took a seat, the room held its breath,
A sound like thunder, a moment of jest.
Their face turned crimson, eyes wide with surprise,
Laughter erupted, like sun in the skies.
We rolled on the floor, in giggles we sank,
The joy of the trick made our hearts fill the tank.
Yet after the laughter, we shared a warm grin,
For tricks are just reminders of the fun we’re all in.
So here’s to the pranks, the laughter, the cheer,
Just playful reminders, bringing friends near.
In the dance of good humor, there’s always a spot,
For a little lightheartedness—let’s cherish the lot!
