Feeling Special

Arms wrapped around tight,
Comfort found in close embrace.
Loved shared in cuddles,
Feeling special in his arms,
I want this feeling to last.

ROCKY
PEBBLE
STICKY

Rocky had a sticky problem
whatever he touched stuck to him
So he tried as hard as he can
to never touch anything

But one day he forgot
and he picked up a pebble
and tried to skip it across the lake
Once he threw
not only the pebble went flying
so did Rocky.

UNLUCKY
THIRTEENTH
SUPERSTITION

On the thirteenth of the month, so it is told
Unlucky superstitions spread, oh so bold
Black cats crossing paths, mirrors that break
Superstitions taking hold, for goodness’ sake!

Avoid the ladders and spilled salt with care
Thirteen, a number some simply can’t bear
But fear not, my friend, it’s all just for fun
Superstitions and myths, when all’s said and done!

So embrace the day with laughter and delight
Thirteenth superstitions, we’ll put up a fight
It’s all just silly, so let’s all just be
Unlucky thirteenth superstitions, let’s set them free!

Life is Too Real

Action takes the stage
Drama unfolding in life
Stories coming alive
Fantasy is all too real
And realities, unreal…

Freezing time’s embrace
Seizing moments in the mind
Preserving memories
Revisiting moments, gone
Rebuilding all the lost ones…

Knocked Down (Hard)

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

Finding Peace and Calm

When the weight of life becomes too much,
And my mind feels burdened, longing for a touch
Of peace and solace, I know what to do
To unplug and find a sense of renewal.

Drawing and music, a perfect blend,
Help my thoughts unwind, allowing me to mend
The frayed edges of my restless mind,
Bringing a sense of calm, that’s hard to find.

Nature, too, holds the key
To unplug and set my spirit free.
In Joshua Tree’s vast expanse,
I find a refreshing, revitalizing dance.

When I can’t journey to such a place,
A local park becomes my space
To sit on a bench and admire the view,
And let nature’s tranquility flow through.

Learning the importance of unplugging,
I now make it a practice, never budging
From prioritizing my peace of mind,
To prevent feeling overwhelmed, I’m inclined.

Sit quiet alone.

Do not speak a single word.

Not a syllable.

Breathe out negativity

Time cannot stand still,

In a dance of endless time.

Keep the kerosene on.
We need to pop the popcorn
