Screws Loose

but how can it be done.

I don’t know what to do

Do I chance it and do it myself?

Or do I leave it alone

and deal with her wrath?

The Weight of Longing

M.A.D. Works

Longing for something special
Only to believe it will never come.
Vulnerable to future loneliness, an
Exception to the rule.

ROOST
BOOST
HOOT

Ryan the Rooster

Ryan the rooster with brave, bold eyes.
He didn’t give a hoot about what others said,
With dreams of boosting his words up ahead.

He strutted and crowed, with a voice loud and bright,
Sharing his stories from morning till night.
But amid all the clamor, a lesson rang true,
You can’t force belief, it must find its own view.

So, he learned to embrace both the quiet and loud,
Finding joy in his journey and standing out proud.
For in the hearts of the dreamers, his message took flight,
In the dance of opinions, he shone his own light.

CRUMBLE
TUMBLE
RUMBLE

The Sweetest Crumb

In the quiet of the day, there’s a rumble in my tummy,
For I am hungry, but alas, there is not a crumb to be found,
No cookies or treats, just an empty, gnawing grumble,
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see something round.

A tiny crumble of cookie, oh, what a sight!
It glistens like treasure, just waiting for me,
But wait! I’m not alone in this sweet little plight,
For my sister spies it too, and now there’s a spree.

We tumble and roll in a rush to the prize,
A playful scuffle ensues, laughter and squeals,
With every twist and turn, we both reach for the size,
That tiny crumb of delight that our hunger reveals.

In this chaotic dance, we giggle and tease,
The cookie piece gleams as it teeters away,
But amidst all the tussle, we find a sweet ease,
For sharing the moments that brighten the day.

At last, we settle down, the treat in our hand,
Together we break it, a crumb for each bite,
No need for the rumble, we understand,
In moments like these, everything feels just right.

Behind the Mask

M.A.D. Works

For years and years not only did I wear a mask, 

I wore a costume. Never showing my true self, 

Afraid to be judged. As time went by, 

The costume became who I am, 

But in my heart, I knew I wasn’t being true. 

Trying to break free from the mask and the costume.

WRAP
WARP
CLING

The Elf Holiday Mix-Up

Oh, dear, the elves made an error,
Instead of wrapping the gifts, they warped them,
Instead of being put in the sled, they cling,
Oh, whatever shall we do? Let’s solve this thing!

Christmas Eve is here, we must act fast,
To fix this mix-up, we can’t let it last.
For joy must fill the night, with laughter and cheer,
We’ll work together, the magic is near!

With nimble fingers and hearts so bright,
We’ll gather the gifts and set things right.
For the children’s smiles we hold dear,
This night of wonder, let’s bring them cheer!

Longing for Love

M.A.D. Works

I have so much jealousy inside
I am jealous of
Of couples holding hands
Their closeness
The way love sparks in their eyes for their significant other.

I long for the laughter,
The whispers shared late at night,
The comfort of a warm embrace,
A love that feels just right.

I watch them walk together,
Two hearts in perfect sync,
While I stand on the sidelines,
Lost in thoughts that make me think.

The simple things they treasure,
A glance, a gentle touch,
I crave that kind of magic,
Oh, how I want it so much.

But deep down, I know,
I must learn to find my peace,
To nurture love within myself,
And let the envy cease.

For every heart has its journey,
And every thread its time,
Perhaps one day I’ll find my own,
A love that feels sublime.
