Gratitude

Home Is Where My Internet Is
Home Is Where My Internet Is They say home is where your heart can be, Where love surrounds you and you feel free, But I have a confession, and here is my clue… My Wi-Fi connection matters too! 😂

The Man Who Collected Red Flags
The Man Who Collected Red Flags I once loved a liar, oh what a surprise, He practised his stories with innocent eyes, Every excuse was perfectly planned, While truth disappeared like footprints in sand.

Dear Rain, Please Hurry Up
Dear Rain, Please Hurry Up The garden is thirsty, the flowers look tired, The grass has gone pale and the sunshine’s inspired, The sky wears a smile but we’re begging for grey, “Dear rain clouds, please visit us sometime today.”

Baked Potato
Baked potato topped with cheese, Is food in a tasty warm bed, Made to fill my tummy.

I thought I knew
My grandma has always carried maps. Campgrounds. Trailheads. Adventures. My grandpa drove. She unfolded the map. They lived in the glove box, or tucked behind the passenger seat, waiting for their turn.

Three senses against one
"A picture's worth a thousand words." They see a worm from far away, So why are we not ruled by birds? The words are felt and seen and heard, But pictures still require rays. A picture's worth a thousand words? The written knowledge man transferred Could still destroy the birds of prey. So, why are we not ruled by birds? Clichés can charm while truth gets blurred. It's one whole sketch to show "malaise". A picture's worth a THOUSAND words? With flags and eagles on their shirts, The bird's the boss they seem to say. So why are we not ruled by birds? Though eyes in instants are preferred, It takes too long to draw "cliché". A picture's worth a thousand words So why are we not ruled by birds?

Hold Me Now, Here and Now
Hold Me Now… Here and Now Hold me now… here and now, Not tomorrow, Not when the world has quietened, Not when every storm has passed, Not when life decides The timing is finally right.

Unlock the Doors
Unlock the Doors Unlock the doors… Open the windows wide. Let every weary curtain dance, Let sunlight walk inside. Invite the morning gently in, Let yesterday be gone. Sweep away the dust of sorrow, Welcome back the dawn.

Crowned by Fire
Crowned by Fire They mistook the flames for destruction, Never seeing they were lighting my way. Every ember forged another chapter, Every dawn rose from yesterday.

The Garden That Refused to Wilt
🌹 The Garden That Refused to Wilt A thousand roses filled the silence, Each one carrying a name. Some belonged to old tomorrows, Some still waited just the same.

💋 The Language of Scarlet Lips Not every story needs a voice, Some are written in the curve of a kiss, Painted crimson against midnight skies,

"Should I Depart Early" Unofficial Poetry Challenge
Hi, all! For those who haven't seen my poems from last week - yes, I'm back on Vocal after a long-ish hiatus. And yes, this has happened before. What can I say, I ebb and flow like the tide. It's become a regular enough thing that I think at some point soon I'll stop mentioning it entirely! But for now, I can think of no better way to get reconnected with this lovely community than to send out another unofficial challenge, and see what inevitable brilliance you lot conjure up. So without further ado, I'd like to announce the start of my "Should I Depart Early" Unofficial Poetry Challenge!
