Dad, dogfather, arm candy for my wife, and 5th in command in my household. I've written two kids' books ("The Book Cook" in 2023, "Catch" coming out next year). I post rhymes here and at www.dcswanson.com
A writer who pens at a vigorous pace
Will often print words that one ought to erase
While writing with more lackadaisical speed
Lets writers give thoughts the #reflection they need.

There’s piles of discarded hopes
along each road you pass;
the weight of expectations
has a #measurable mass.

A rhyme is a compelling way
to #transport thoughts you want to say
with words that, when they're heard, remain
embedded in a busy brain.

An education based upon
an algorithmic feed
will not provide the sustenance
that healthy brain cells need.
An education based upon
the #literature found
inside a local library will
help good sense abound.

Is #history a one-way street
or does it cycle and repeat?
Do children right their parents’ wrongs
or just reprise the same old songs?
Do people learn from past mistakes
or err again, with higher stakes?
Will we improve the world we’ve got?
I hope we will. But maybe not.

Science doesn't care if you accept it or deny it.
Math will still be there if you embrace it or defy it.
Truth is always true no matter how you try to spin it.
The world won't wait for you to recognize that you are in it.

Patience is a virtue, but it's best to not be late.
#Education helps you realize ways you can relate.
Genuine compassion comes from conscience, not command.
Where our futures go depends on where we choose to stand.

The ghosts I know do not appear
at #Halloween to conjure fear.
Instead, my ghosts arrive at night
to ask, in dreams, if I’m all right.

Life’s a race and we’re not winning
Time has led since the beginning
We can chase and cheat with cunning,
but we’ll fade and time keeps running
Life’s a race and we will lose it
And the finish? Time will choose it
Yet, before the race is done,
we can still enjoy our run.
