Whispers of Balance

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM151

Your three words today are:
FEROCIOUS
PLACID
VIOLENT

In a world where shadows sometimes play,
Ferocious storms can darken the day.
Yet beneath the thunder, a whisper grows clear,
A promise of calm for those who will hear.

Violent winds may rage, clash and collide,
But within the chaos, there’s strength to abide.
For after the tempest, the clouds will depart,
Leaving space for the light to warm every heart.

Placid moments arise, as the stillness descends,
Healing the wounds where the storm never ends.
From ferocity’s fury and violence once sought,
Comes the gentle reminder of peace that is taught.

So let us embrace both the tempest and calm,
For each has its purpose, a lesson, a balm.
In balance, we find what our journeys are worth—
From fierce struggles arise the seeds of rebirth.

Exit Stage Left

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM140

Your three words today are:
FARCE
RIDICULE
COMEDY

Was our friendship a farce,
Where you could ridicule me?
Was it a comedy show
For you to get your laughs in, free?

Did you play the leading role,
While I sat in the crowd,
Hoping for a moment,
When you’d lift me from the shroud?

Were my secrets just punchlines,
My heart a joke on display?
I sought a bond and connection,
Not the cruelty of your play.

Yet here I stand, unbroken,
No longer part of your scene,
I’ll rewrite my own story,
Where I’ve learned to be seen.

So take your laughter, your mockery,
And leave me to find my way,
In a world where friendships flourish,
And genuine hearts can stay.

Echoes of Departure

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM128

LAUGH
LEFT
LEAVE

In laughter’s glow, the moments blend,
A fleeting joy, a breath we lend.
Yet in each chuckle, shadows creep,
As thoughts of loss begin to seep.

When paths diverge, I feel the heft,
The weight of memories now left.
A silent plea, to not deceive,
But life demands we sometimes leave.

Each smile a thread, a tapestry spun,
Yet the heart knows the race is run.
With every joy, a tear may flow,
In laughter’s wake, we learn to grow.

So here I stand, with echoes loud,
In bittersweetness, I am proud.
Through laughter shared and love received,
I’ll cherish all that we believe.

Three Things Challenge #MM125

Your three words today are:
SATISFY
SAINT
SPARSE

In a land where the saints like to play,
They danced in fields of flowers all day.
But the blooms were sparse, just a few in sight,
They twirled and laughed, what a silly delight!

With each joyful jump, they felt so free,
Their happiness swelled, oh, so satisfied!
In the bright sunshine, under skies so blue,
The saints spread giggles, a funny crew!

Sweet Escape

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM123

Your three words today are:
MUSK
MUST
MUSH

I must get rid of this musk
Before I turn into mush.
The scent is strong, it’s hard to bear,
A cloud that follows, everywhere.

I’ll wash it off, I’ll scrub and rinse,
Find something fresh, a little hint.
Maybe flowers, or ocean breeze,
Something light that brings me ease.

No more should I feel so confined,
With every step, I’ll leave it behind.
A new perfume, a sweet embrace,
To lift my spirit, and change my pace.

So away with the old, I’ll start anew,
With scents of joy, all bright and true.
I’ll find my way back to the sun,
And with each breath, I’ll feel the fun!

The Wild Drummers of Dumbump

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM118

Your three words today are:
DRUM
DUMB
DUMP

In a land where the drummers go thump,
Lived a silly old guy who was known as Dumbump.
He danced with abandon, making quite the loud drum,
While friends all around laughed and said, “What a bum!”

One day in a park, he found a big dump,
Full of treasures and junk—a real funky lump.
He gathered up trinkets, a hat, and a pump,
And said, “Watch me play on this garbage-filled rump!”

So they took to the streets, making music so wild,
With drums made of garbage, they sang like a child.
Drum, Dumb, and Dump—what a trio to see,
In a world full of laughter, they were wild and free!

In a shop of wacky dreams,
Where oddities burst at the seams,
An item sat with a silly grin,

Wiggled and jiggled like it knew,
With a honk and a wiggle, it stole the show,
This playful oddball, the star of the glow!

Your three words today are:
CRAFTY
NIPPY
CHEEKY

In a town where the weather was chilly and nippy,
Lived a cat named Max, oh so crafty and cheeky.
With a flick of his tail, he’d cause such a fuss,
Sneaking treats and toys, oh, he loved to make a mess!

One fine day, he dared Rufus, the dog,
To a race by the shed—oh, what a slog!
Max dashed off so quick, leaving poor Rufus confused,
Crafty and cheeky, he simply refused to lose!

So here’s to dear Max, with his playful little ways,
In a world full of laughter, he brightens our days!

Larry sat with thoughts in bloom,
Wondering why the jobs won’t zoom.

To cut through doubt and seize the day.

Three Things Challenge #MM95

Your three words today are:
STRING
HARP
CRUMPET

In a land where melodies dance and leap,
A harp strummed softly, making shadows creep.
But a crumpet, so round, had a sticky jam dart,
It wiggled and giggled, stealing the harp’s heart.

“Play me a tune!” the crumpet did plead,
But the harp just laughed, “I’m not here for bread’s need!”
So they jammed together, what a quirky sight,
A stringed serenade, with a crumpet’s delight!

Now they’re quite a pair, strumming through the days,
Harp tunes and crumpets in a buttery haze!

HANDY

There once was a handy old gnome,
In a hallowed-out tree he would roam.
With a huff and a puff,
He’d bake cakes just enough,
Then giggle while serving them foam!
