It's easy to do once more.
Rip when torn apart.
Paper lay scattered on ground.
Celebrating now.

Holidays come once a year.
Presents crunch and pops.
A fresh new year comes around.
Repeating a mess.

How it feels to make a mess?
The hiss and screech heard.
Who will clean up the big mess?
How it's frustrating.

Laying on my stomach, I look at the prompt and wonder what to write. There is the whole story about how God created me, but that doesn't define what makes me me. I think it goes back to my past and that winds its way to who I am today.

Let's begin with my fascination for dragons. I see them flying around in the air on a daily basis. What would it be like if I could ride on one of these dragons one day? Never know what might catch on fire. The beauty of their scales to their majestic wings is a challenge to capture in a photo since they're so huge. I've always had this fascination since I was a young girl.

Then there's fish swimming around in lakes and oceans showing off their expertise in swimming. Some are bred for being fancy while others are normal. There's the native Violet Go by to the Koi originating from overseas. They swim among mermaids and fill the water with music.

Only during spring and summer can I see butterflies fluttering through the air. The tiny feathers of different colors shows off in the sunlight as if a tiny little rainbow is visiting my yard. Of course, not meant to be confused with fairies and dixies that could come wandering around. What a colorful pattern to throw onto a piece of paper.

Playing in band and showing off my musical talent gives me energy and courage to do other things. The importance of being in good shape is a factor in how well I did. I could play a saxophone or a bassoon. Years have passed without practicing I'm growing quite rusty.

An artist is who I really am and still trying to capture moments in time on a flat surface. Practice makes perfect but experimenting is a must. I don't do Paint on the computer much but hope to find a way do also do digital art too. I love listening to music along the way, rocking it out as I draw. Creatures and animals is my favorite topic and, yes, I can be good at drawing people and still life too if I had the time to do it. A fidgety person would mess me up, but a still person would result in the best outcome.

Serving the country ain't easy.

After I got out of high school,
I joined the army.

Years of preparation happened,
Before I travelled to a different country.

Lots of things could happen,
I went out on the field.

Returning home in victory,
I'm proud to serve my country.

Here I rest on the chair,
Looking back to the times I served.

Clouds build. Not a moment to waste. The cold air settles in. Winter is here. One thing is on the forecast; a blizzard is coming. Snow is expected to fill the ground the next day. I walk to the window and open up the curtains to see if it has arrived yet. The weather channel rattles on about the drop in the temperature and how much snow accumulation is expected to receive.

One flurry comes falling. I watch as it angles in the air by the harsh wind blowing. The forecast of heavy snow soon to come I suspect. Another flurry appears just as I lost the sight of the first flurry. Once it hit the window it turns into a drop of water. Soon more came at a quicker rate and I recall the storm is just beginning.

A knock on the door caught my attention so I walk over and open it. My sister comes crawling in shivering from the cold. Not a word to be said as she walks over to the fireplace. Just as I walk to the door I notice the screen door flapping wildly in the wind. Reaching out I caught the screen door and slam it shut in time for the burst of wind to hit me.

Not a word needs to be said as I close the front door. Chills ran down my spine as the blast hit me in the face. Walking over to the fireplace, I add more ashes within. Packed up in a thick, warm coat my sister seems to be okay. Once again, I check outside only to find a thick sheet of white, fluffy flakes falling from the sky. The snow has come, already started, and here I haven't salted the front sidewalk and driveway yet. Grabbing a coat and bundling up I took out the salt and opened the door. The windblast in my face even despite bundling up. Facing my fear I went outside and start dumping the salt onto the stairs and sidewalk.

Morning came I woke up with a thud near my bedroom window. Rushing to see what the matter is I opened the curtain and peered out. Piles of snow fills my yard so deep I wonder if it'd be possible to exit. Then I went to the guest room and motion for her to come look. Following sleepily, she follows me over to the large window in the living room. Pulling back the curtains we both watch as we see doom. This is just the first day of the blizzard; snow keeps on falling from the sky. Another day and we'll be trapped with nowhere to go until the snow clears away.

Dust blows as winds give away followed by ash in the air and flames licking everything. Trees burn up as a pile of dry wood and animals scatter out of fright. Homes fall down leaving others homeless. The results left behind is black ground, everywhere you can see, with hope lost for a once-thriving community.

Leaves covers the ground
With piles of snow on top
Beauty untouched

What to do
for the year
when the snow
disappears?

Goals to make
then to achieve
before the end
comes eve.

I can't say
what I want
to wear just
pants.

Beginning has come
with winter here
to look for
a bear.

What to write
for goals and
more than what
I do in
band.

Pulling a piece of paper
Me to draw nature and geese
Using pens capturing shapes
Leaving me with mice as well as capes

Whirlwind blows through sky and sea
Changing the black bee and rye
Traveling in pleasure land
In the midst of tie and sound of band

Wind moans and groans
Snow doesn't drop by
Bells set in stone
I'm telling you why
Mrs. Claus fell down the stairs He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out why Mrs. Claus fell thrice
Mrs. Claus fell down the stairs

He sees her in black and blue
He knows the fall is fatal
He knows a funeral is on Christmas Day
So he won't deliver presents today!
Oh! No need to watch out!
He quit his job
To come to town
I'm telling you why
Mrs. Claus fell down
Mrs. Claus fell down
Mrs. Claus fell down the stairs
