Damp dew covers all.

Just before the sun warms us.

With the morning’s dawn.

Nature’s beauty shines so bright

As we welcome the new day.

EGO
PERSONA
SELF

A person named Ego had quite the persona,
Always thinking highly, like a majestic iguana.
But deep down inside, beneath the bravado and pelf,
Lay a tiny, insecure, and fragile self.

All eternity.

Encapsulates all moments.

From the first to last.

Time flows endlessly onward.

Embracing all that has been.

SHORTAGE
ABUNDANCE
MISSING

There once was a shortage so sad,
The town couldn’t help but feel bad.
But then came a switch,
And now they’re so rich,
They’re up to their ears in abundance they had! But wait, where’s the missing?

HUMAN
CANINE
FELINE

The canine and feline had a secret wish,
to walk on two legs and live like us,
so they dressed in clothes, trying to deceive,
but all they got were chuckles, hard to believe.

Humans marveled at their quirky attire,
gave them treats and pats, never failing to admire,
though mistaken for humans, for a moment or two,
the canine and feline found joy in the view.

Their wish unfulfilled, yet laughter filled the air,
they realized that being themselves was truly fair,
for the love and joy they brought, as creatures so real,
far outweighed the longing to be what they couldn’t feel.

ELOPE
ESCAPE
SLINK

Elope, elope, the lovers cried,
From their families, they’ll surely hide.
Escape into the night so dark,
Slink away to make their mark.

Pugs

They might look like slugs
but they are actually pugs
With squishy faces and curly tails,
They play and bark, wagging their trails

Glasses assist me

To see the world around me

It’s a great blur, yes

But with them, I see just fine

Enhancing my view to life

Nightfall

Gentle breezes blow

As the darkness hugs us all

As the day falls down

Moonlit sky above it all

Whispers of the night so tall

Gumball Machine

Oh, gumball machine,
Colors bright, pure delight.
Twist, clink, candy land,
Children’s smiles at your command.

Colors of you

Within you, a vibrant hue,
Each color whispers a tale true.
A dash of red, bold and fierce,
With passion burning, never to pierce.
Blue like the sea, calm and deep,
Hiding emotions, secrets they keep.
Yellow shines, a ray of cheer,
Spreading warmth, dispelling fear.
Green like the earth, ever serene,
Nurturing life, a tranquil scene.
In every soul, this vibrant blend,
A rainbow of colors, without end.

-M.A.D.

People lean on me

Their burdens become my own

Being needed, love,

is all I have ever known

Yet somehow I do not mind…
