Ban

In the quiet places where shadows lie,
Books are banned, but truth won’t die.
History fades when we turn away,
Let’s not lose the past today.
Guardians of knowledge, take a stand,
Protect the stories of our land.
For in the light of words, we find,
The power to shape what’s in our mind.

Whispers of the Shore

M.A.D. Works

The sun goes down, the sky is bright,
Golden sand and ocean light.
I love the beach; it feels so good,
Waves that play, just like they should.
Seashells shine, and laughter’s near,
All my worries disappear.
In sunny days and starry skies,
The beach, my home, where my heart flies.

Embracing the Struggle

M.A.D. Works

Frustration sets in, words caught in flight,
Need to say them, but they don’t come out right.
Misunderstood whispers, lost in the air,
Thought I was improving, but do I dare?

Each fix feels like labor, each word a retreat,
Struggling to express what’s deep and discreet.
Yet in every stumble, a flicker of light,
I’ll embrace my own voice, finding strength in the fight.

Chasing the Light

In a world of solvent dreams,
Precarious paths take flight, it seems.
With sundry hopes that gently blend,
We chase the light, where shadows end.

Auburn mixed with gold
Making the world beautiful 
Sprinkle all around,
and share it everywhere…
Such a treat for all to see…

Poetry

Precious

M.A.D. Works

Precious moments, soft and sweet,  
Radiating joy in every heartbeat.  
Every smile tells a story untold,  
Cherished treasures, more than gold.  
In laughter, warmth, and gentle grace,  
Our bonds grow stronger, time can’t erase.  
Unforgettable memories, forever bright,  
Shining together, a beautiful light.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Good afternoon, everyone. Here is a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is:

There once was a judge named Judy,
Whose love for fudge was quite moody.
Day in and day out,
Without a doubt,
When she ran out, she felt truly broody.

Was quite dashing, imagine that!
From dawn until dusk,
He’d prance without fuss,
In his fancy and snug little hat.

A penny once lay on the ground,
With hopes of a treasure profound.

Sweater

There once was a sweater, so cozy and bright,
It danced through the day and twinkled at night.
With stripes that were swirling and colors ablaze,
It twirled like a whirlwind, in a quirky craze.

expansion

Expansion is the name of the game
With more and more people,
Things need to grow,
In the heart of the city,
In the fields, in the flow.

Dreams reach for the sky,
Like branches that spread wide,
Connections we nurture,
With love as our guide.

New ideas bloom,
Like flowers in spring,
With each voice that joins,
A symphony to sing.

Change is the rhythm,
Progress our song,
Together we flourish,
Together we belong.

So, let’s rise up with hope,
Embrace what’s to come,
For in every expansion,
A brighter world’s begun.
