I so love my great
Nation, a land of
Dreams, hopes, and
Everlasting liberty.
Patriotism abounds in
Every citizen’s heart as
New opportunities
Drive the spirit of
Embracing a better life.
Now we gather together to
Celebrate the day we
Earned our freedom!
Dearest country of mine,
America the Beautiful,
You are my true home!
Happy Independence Day to all my fellow American friends and family! May you all have a blessed Fourth of July weekend!
To be the middle sister
Is a blessing and a curse.
To one sister, you’re the “better”;
To the other, you’re the “worse”.
When it comes to being older,
You’ve had gifts enough to give
To the younger of your siblings,
Who adores the life you live.
At the same time, being younger
Must have been a challenge too,
Growing up with someone older
Who made life so tough for you.
Yet the sister who’s your elder,
Who pretends to reign supreme,
Is in fact a little envious
Of your life lived like a dream.
But regardless of her envy,
She adores you just the same,
And she couldn’t be more proud
Of the person you became.
So today, my dearest sister,
Please allow me just to say
That I love you very much
And hope you have a great birthday!
Happy Birthday to my amazing little sister! Keep being the wonderful person you are! I love you!
Today, you know I want to do something
For the best father any girl has had.
So here’s a poem that I’ve been writing
To thank you for being the greatest dad!
Thank you for all the times you make me smile
With all those silly words I know so well.
I love to sit and listen for a while
To all the stories you so love to tell.
I’m grateful for the lessons you give me
To help me be the best person I can.
In you, since I was little, I could see
The model of a kind and loving man.
You’re my favorite hero in every way.
I wish you all the best this Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to my amazing dad! Thank you for always being my hero! God bless you always! I love you, Dad!
Listen, my darling, to this
One simple request, from my
Vulnerable heart to yours,
Every day from now to forever.
My devotion to you is as
Everlasting as the stars in the heavens.
Free me from this
Overwhelming doubt.
Reveal your true feelings,
Else my faith in love may
Vanish indefinitely.
Eternal love of mine, please
Reciprocate my undying passion!
(What If? Exercise: Read the description here.)
Samantha had chosen her favorite flower when she was young.
Unfortunately, none of the boys knew what it was.
Nobody ever gave her the flowers she wanted.
From roses to lilies, they always missed.
Lenny finally thought to ask her.
Overjoyed, Samantha shared her secret.
Whispered in his ear.
Embarrassed, he grinned.
Ridiculously obvious.
This piece is based on What If? Exercise 93: “Ten to One”. The exercise is to write a 55-word story in which the first sentence has ten words, the second has nine, etc., until the last sentence has only one word. The objective is to show that precision and thrift in writing can produce surprisingly powerful results. I hope you enjoy what I’ve written. Thanks for reading!
Red flames
Orange flowers
Yellow sunbeams dancing
Green meadows stretching far and wide
Blue waves
Indigo birds singing sweet songs
Violet shadows looming
Timeless rainbow
Stained glass
