Three Things Challenge #M848

WARLOCK
WITCH
CRONE


The crony witch and warlock went out on the town,
With potions and spells, they danced all around.
With a flick of her wand,
And a spell that was fond,
They turned every frown to a giggle and gown!

Three Things Challenge #M847

TINSEL
GLITTER
GOWN

—

Sally was up for a prestigious award,
A moment of glory that she truly adored.
The ceremony beckoned, all dressed in black tie,
Excitement and nerves danced, like stars in the sky.

She needed a gown that would suit the grand night,
One that shimmered and glowed, a true vision of light.
Through countless stores, she wandered and searched,
But nothing enchanted, her hopes slightly perched.

Then, on the day of the event, her heart took a chance,
A gown in a tinsel color—oh, what a glance!
With each step she took as she slipped it on,
She glittered and sparkled; her worries were gone.

Right away, she knew, this was the dress,
A stunning reflection of beauty and finesse.
She’d be the hit of the ceremony, without a doubt,
In a world full of whispers, her joy would shout.

So, off to the gala, with dreams shining bright,
Sally stepped forth, ready to dazzle the night.
With laughter and cheers, the moment drew near,
In that tinsel gown, she conquered her fear.

Too much pondering
Will give you a big headache
Do not overthink
In stillness, I find my way,
Letting go of endless thoughts

Dragonflies pair up
Coupled closely in midair,
United as one.
Sunlight glints off their warm wings,
A dance in the summer sky.

 Playful Ghost

M.A.D. Works

Oh, I am a ghostie

with the mostie.

I will do you no harm.

I rather live on a farm.

Where I can meet some pigs,

And we can do a jig

With other animals on the lawn

Until dawn

Exploring the Unknown

M.A.D. Works

What could you try for the first time?

I chose to answer this question with a poem to add some excitement, celebrating the beauty of words and their rhythm; poetry can turn simple thoughts into powerful expressions that touch our hearts. So, here it goes

Exploring the Unknown

What could I try for the first time,
To soar beyond the mountain’s climb?
A dance, a song, a brand new rhyme,
Or painting colors in a prime.

Perhaps a dish from a foreign land,
Or crafting art with your very own hand.
To travel far to a distant shore,
Or to learn a language, and so much more.

For life is a canvas, blank and wide,
With adventures waiting on every side.
So, take a step, and don’t delay,
Try something new, make your own way.

Nincompoop

Oh nincompoop, so silly and kind,
You often leave me smiling, I don’t mind.
Your silly ways and funny acts,
Bring joy and laughter, that’s a fact.

You trip and stumble, but it’s okay,
You brighten up the dreariest day.
Beneath your goofiness, you’re really great,
You make life fun, we appreciate.

So, here’s to you, oh nincompoop dear,
Your happy spirit is always near.
In this serious world, you’re a delight,
Your cheerful presence makes everything bright.

Making the Leap

M.A.D. Works

When an old car dies and no longer can be repaired
It’s time for a new one, a decision to be dared
Going to the car dealership, a stampede of horses
Senses on overload, navigating myriad courses

It’s so draining, makes you want to sleep and forget
But the need to get places, it’s a looming threat
Forgetting about it and going without a car
Seems tempting, but reality isn’t that far

Reminded of the places you need to reach
The search for a new car, a lesson in teach
Amidst the chaos, a vehicle to find
To navigate the roads, a peace of mind

CRINGE
COWER
BRUISE

I cringe and cower when I hear yelling
The pain and past bruises in my mind appear
Reminding me of past times, my heart is swelling
With memories that fill me with fear.

But I stand tall and face the day
Knowing that I am stronger now
Those painful memories may never go away
But I won’t let them hold me down.

Honesty in Law

lawyer

Larry the lawyer can tell no lie
His honesty shines, you can’t deny
In the courtroom, he stands so tall
His integrity admired by all

With every word, his truth is clear
Clients trust him, without any fear
No deception, no deceit in sight
Larry’s honesty is his guiding light

Where laughter and tears, in harmony, confide.
Familiar faces, streets I know by heart,
A place of belonging, a cherished start.

Mercy

Oh, mercy me, the times we are living in,
Natural disasters, food being stolen,
No one seems to care about anyone else but themselves,
I am scared for what lies ahead.

The world seems to be in disarray,
With troubles and worries at every turn,
It’s hard to find a sense of peace,
When so much around us seems to burn.

Oh mercy me, the times we are living in,
Let’s strive for kindness and empathy,
For in caring for each other,
We can create a better world for you and me.

Wireless

Tracy tirelessly watched the wireless,
For her artist to come on and inspire.
She was determined to stay on, even late into the night,
But her body had other plans, it did tire.

Slowly but surely, her eyes closed, drifting to sleep,
Not long after, her artist appeared on the wireless,
She missed the moment, her heart began to weep,
But she knew tomorrow, she would again be tireless.

Longing

M.A.D. Works

I have a longing for something undefined,
Each day it grows, in my heart, entwined.
A yearning for something I cannot name,
An elusive desire, like a flickering flame.

It tugs at my soul, a mysterious allure,
A yearning so deep, so pure, and so sure.
I seek it out, though I know not what for,
This unnamed longing, I can’t ignore anymore.
