A place to show my work
I have vivid memories of a time now gone,
Before the Internet, life carried on.
No quick Google search, no instant find,
We mastered the art of library grind.
Tasks took longer, planning was key,
Life moved at a slower, methodical spree.
Valuable skills we honed back then,
A different approach, a different yen.
MAD
I am in a writing funk,
That I need to debunk.
I search high and low,
For inspiration to show,
To make my creativity flow.
MAD
In friendships, trust is so profound,
A bond that forever is bound.
With honesty and care,
And loyalty so rare,
True security and joy are found.

Each one takes up its own space
With different expressions upon their face

A snarky smirk or frown for a while
A look of anger or crooked smile
–
Why are they here what do they want
Can’t they find another to haunt
–
I’d ask them all but they don’t say
Why they never go away
–
I should hire a medium to take a look
Or tell me why they continue to spook
–
But the spiritual world is a closed book
And as a mortal I’m afraid to look
–
So I found my answer in the end
Rather than fight them, embrace them friends
–
As my logical conclusion is here
The ghosts all start to disappear
–
First smirky, fearful, then happy and mad
Next nervous, thoughtful, then silly and sad
–
Each ghostly apparition leaves
Taking along their gown and sleeves
–
As they’re gone I realize the key
Each of the ghosts was an aspect of me
–
Emotions can be scary but never fear
There’s a hundred feelings for everyone here.
–
So next time when adversity has you thrown
Think of those chalky friends and you won’t be alone.
-aaa
Out of the blue,
negative thoughts come into my mind.
–
Need to push them aside,
knowing that they are lies.
–
Hard to do when,
they are shouting at me.
–
Need someone to talk to,
to help remind me.
–
But when I do ,
I feel like a burden.
–
But with their kind words,
they remind me that I am not.
–
And to remind to stay strong,
and to know my worth.
–
So that is what I am doing,
pushing the negative thoughts away.

There once was a game known as football,
Where players would give it their all.
Trying to score
Tackling galore
Until one team would rise and stand tall.

CUSTOM
TRADITION
METHOD
There once was a man named Ed,
Whose customs filled him with dread.
He tried a new method,
To break from tradition,
And now he’s much happier instead.

Outside the sphere, feelings abound

Happiness, sadness, and others are found
Surrounding people of every race
–
Which we choose or rather chooses us
We often have very little choice
Confronting our feelings is a must
When talking in our inner voice
–
We might as well roll with it all
There’s no need to lose control
Feelings, inside of us rise and fall
Learn to ride the ebb and flow
–
So how do we deal with all these thoughts
How do we gain an upper hand
Dealing with the past, you’ve wrought
Helps you draw boundaries in the sand
–
Then one day, you create a space
Between what you see and what you feel
Putting self-control in place
Preventing overreaction, a bad way to deal
–
So as the realities challenge with strife
Remember, you are in control
Of your reality and your life
Don’t let your feelings take a toll…

OVERCOME
STEAL
Hijack the moon, fly to outer space
Overcome the stars in a playful race
Stole a comet to light my way
Now let’s dance with the Milky Way

A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter …
Weekend Writing Prompt #380 – Auction
At the auction, dreams are sold to the highest bid,
Where hopes and desires are on display, carefully hidden.
Eager hands wave, eyes alight with anticipation,
As treasures change hands in a whirl of fascination.
Bidding wars ignite, passions roaring with might,
As fortunes shift under the auction’s enigmatic light.
Amidst the enthusiasm, remember this crucial plea,
True riches are found within, not under the auction’s decree.
As treasures change hands in a whirl of fascination and delight.
MAD
To be brave
Scares me immensely
Facing fears, taking action
Facing challenges head-on bravely
To stand tall
