Dark clouds rumble low—
lightning cracks the silent sky—
rain sighs on black roofs.
Dog's tail wags with joy,
Love leaps through the bedroom door,
Friendship feels just home.
Her secret love shows,
Each flush whispers "goodbye"—
Poop in twilight flows.
Whispers of the fearful,
Hearts ache under the world's weight,
Hope finds strength in verse.
Beneath despair's weight,
In wars of words and silent nights,
Fragile hope endures.
Grateful hearts uplift,
Kind wisdom flows like morning dew,
Teacher's love eternal.
Joyful echoes ring,
Loving hearts with cat in tow,
Valley whispers sweet.
Warm sunlight fades,
Gentle breeze whispers farewell,
Day's end, peace remains.
Rising prices climb,
A tariff's heavy toll,
Hope withers, dreams fade.
Christmas lights twinkle,
Stitch in pink, dancing elf glee,
Joy fills the warm room.
The light of a candle,
Flickering in the darkness,
Peaceful, eternal.
