A Magical Adventure Awaits: Discover the Treasure Chest

A Magical Adventure Awaits: Discover the Treasure Chest

The Treasure Chest

He knelt upon the golden sand,

A map still clutched within his hand,

The chest before him, old and wide,

With secrets locked away inside.

Its hinges creaked a tale of yore,

Of pirates, dreams, and distant shore,

He lifted slow the heavy lid—

And gasped at what the shadows hid.

A glow poured out like morning sun,

As if the stars had come undone,

And in the light, a swirling stream

Of all the wonders he could dream.

A compass spun with magic grace,

A feather from a phoenix race,

A marble made of lunar glass,

A bell from lands where wishes pass.

His eyes grew wide, his heart took flight—

The world had changed in just one night.

Not for the gold, nor sparkling prize,

But for the dreams that filled his eyes.

So if you find a chest one day,

While wandering down a secret way,

Remember this: the best you’ll see

Is what it helps your soul to be.

Horrible Horace and the treasure Chest

Mad Mr Viscous glueing again

Mad Mr Viscous glueing again

Free eBooks for everyone, for sure, at… free eBooks for everyone

Mad Mr Viscous, the owner of a glue factory, is hell-bent on making his fortune, selling glue made from his secret ingredient – horses. Determined to put a stop to it, Jimmy and his best friend Eric set off on a fantastic adventure, battling witches, warlocks, animalistics – and MAD MR VISCOUS.

In a town, not so distant, where shadows often grew,
Stood a factory tall and eerie, owned by Mad Mr. Viscous, too.
A place where whispers grew to tales of old,
Where children’s feet grew cold, when they were told,
Of the glue that bound the very souls of the town so true.

Mad Mr. Viscous, with his wild cackling laugh,
And eyes that gleamed like a madman’s half-lit staff,
With his apron stained and his hat askew,
He’d stir and mix, brew and cast,
The stickiest glue that ever was.

He’d gather the ingredients under the moon’s pale glow,
In his cauldron of secrets, in his workshop of woe.
Bones of the lost and the tears of the damned,
All to make his potion so grand,
A glue that could hold fast what the world did not know.

The factory chimneys, they’d belch forth a smoke,
Thick and black, like the darkest of jokes,
It wrapped around the town like a shroud,
Silencing the cries of those who’d dared approach,
To the lair of Mad Mr. Viscous, in his glue factory so cloak.

The walls were thick with the whispers of the trapped,
Their cries for help forever enrapt,
In the sticky embrace of the glue so foul,
A prison of despair, a fate so cruel,
Where the lost souls of the town did forever dwell.

He’d catch the town’s secrets, the whispers in flight,
With his glue, he’d bind them tight,
To the pages of his tome of lore,
Where they could speak nevermore,
Forever silenced in the glue factory’s lightless well.

The townsfolk lived in fear, each day anew,
Of the madman and his glue that grew,
They knew not what he sought to achieve,
What twisted plot did he conceive,
In the heart of his factory so fell and fell.

One brave soul, young and bright, did dare,
To venture forth in the moon’s gossamer glare,
With a heart of hope and a sprig of peppermint,
To set the secrets and souls free from their glint,
And to bring an end to the madman’s reign so fell.

In she crept, through the doors of despair,
The smell of amber and fear in the air,
The cauldron bubbled with a witch’s brew,
As Mad Mr. Viscous sang his tune so true,
Oblivious to the girl with the minty flair.

With a touch of the mint to the cauldron’s side,
The glue began to loosen its tie,
The whispers grew louder, the smoke grew thin,
As the souls began to unbind,
From the madness that had held them there.

The secrets flew out, a storm of white,
Their voices now free to take flight,
They soared through the town, a silent scream,
Exposing the lies of the madman’s scheme,
And the truth was revealed to all to see.

Mad Mr. Viscous, his plan unfurled,
Faced the wrath of the souls of the world,
They bound him in his own glue so fast,
In his factory that was now theirs at last,
And the town, once bound, was free and clear.

The chimneys now smoke-free, the air so mild,
The children laugh, their spirits wild,
The glue factory stands, a monument of old,
But now it’s a place of tales so bold,
Where Mad Mr. Viscous’s spirit is forever curled.

So if you’re ever in a town so blue,
Where whispers of the past come through,
Remember the girl with the minty might,
And the madman who lost his fight,
In the glue factory that saw the light of day appear.

I Saw an Angel by My Bedside Last Night

I Saw an Angel by My Bedside Last Night
I Saw an Angel by My Bedside Last Night
In the hush of twilight’s shroud,
An angel, draped in whispers, stood proud.
With wings uncurled, like shadows cast,
A light that beckons from realms vast.
Her eyes, two stars in eternity’s dome,
Chanting hymns of a celestial home.
With silver threads of moonlit grace,
She weaved devotion in this sacred space.
I fell to my knees, hearts intertwined,
In a world where mortal and divine are aligned.
Where dreams and faith waltzed upon air,
And immortality danced—free from despair.
“Celebrate the breath,” she tenderly spoke,
“For every heartbeat is a radiant cloak.
Embrace your darkness as part of the whole;
Let the night cradle your fervent soul.”
The shadows quivered but held no fright,
For I saw an angel by my bedside last night.

The Whimsical Chase

The Whimsical Chase
In the glen where the wildflowers sway,
A mischievous pup leads the way,
With a coat of gold and eyes so bright,
He bounds through the fields, a pure delight.
Chasing shadows on the emerald grass,
With each joyful bark, the moments pass—
His laughter paints the morning sky,
In a world where whimsy dares to fly.
Through tangled woods and streams that dance,
He nips at fate with a daring glance;
In his heart lies an ancient lore,
Of quests untold and tales of yore.
Yet in his chase is a gentle sigh,
For every sunset must say goodbye;
And though he runs with endless glee,
There’s a spark of wistfulness in his spree.
For beneath the moon’s silvery beam,
The night whispers softly of an unchained dream—
Where dogs and starlight twirl and play,
In adventures that never fade away.
So come dear friend, with your heart unshackled;
Join this journey where joy never crackles—
With laughter as our ceaseless guide,
We’ll chase down our whims—oh what joy resides!

The Queen of Hearts Lost in Shadowed Glades

In the heart of a forest, where whispers tread light,

A queen lost her footsteps to shadowed delight,

Her crown made of petals, her gown woven dreams,

Yet fear drifts like daggers through the silvery beams.

With each step that falters on pathways of moss,

The darkness around her begins to emboss

The edges of laughter that danced in the sun,

Now echoes of silence, where once there was fun.

“Where are my subjects?” she murmurs with dread,

As branches like fingers reach out for her head.

The fireflies flicker—small lanterns of fright,

The chill wraps around her; it swallows the light.

Oh! Trees twist and spiral like thoughts gone awry,

A cacophony whispers from shadows nearby.

Her heart races faster; a race without end—

In a forest of phantoms where nightmares descend.

With each rustle bemoaned by the chilling embrace,

She dreams of return to her bright royal place.

Yet deeper she wanders through thickets of despair,

“Will I ever break free from this darkened snare?”

As thorns draw near closer their wicked intent,

Through bramble and gloom her courage is bent.

But even when lost in this haunting ballet,

Hope flickers within her—a guide on the way.

For not all is hopeless in twilight’s cruel haze;

In madness can sometimes weave wisdom’s bright gaze.

And so with a shudder and heart pounding fast,

She seeks out the dawn in the shadows amassed.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Down the Rabbit Hole

[Stanza 1]

Down the rabbit hole she fell,

Alice, with her curious spell,

A whimsical adventure awaits,

In Wonderland, where time abates.

[Stanza 2]

She meets a grinning Cheshire Cat,

Who loves to tease and play with that,

A mad tea party, so absurd,

With the Hatter and Hare, quite absurd!

[Stanza 3]

The Queen of Hearts, so regal and loud,

With flamingos as croquet mallets, how proud!

Off with their heads, she’d shout with glee,

But Alice navigates through cleverly.

[Stanza 4]

Shrinking and growing, oh what a sight,

In this topsy-turvy world, day and night,

With the White Rabbit’s watch in hand,

Alice explores this enchanting Wonderland.

[Stanza 5]

A journey of wonder, strange delight,

With logic defied at every sight,

Alice dances through this dreamy land,

With her imagination forever grand!

I’m dead and I’m feeling better

I’m dead and I’m feeling better,
Black and white, Vampires all around,
And oh, I must be getting bolder,
The need for blood is trying to get me down,
To the bodies, where it’s flowing away,
Sometimes I just don’t think I should to it,
But I then know it’s more than worth the waiting,
For another chance to drink some sweet warm blood.
Come on drink with me.
There are bodies with warm blood flowing away,
Sometimes I just don’t think I should drink it,
But yet I know it’s more than worth the waiting away
For another chance to drink that sweet warm blood
Come on drink with me.

On Death

The pale, the cold, and the moony smile
Which the meteor beam of a starless night
Sheds on a lonely and sea-girt isle,
Ere the dawning of morn’s undoubted light,
Is the flame of life so fickle and wan
That flits round our steps till their strength is gone.

O man! hold thee on in courage of soul
Through the stormy shades of thy worldly way,
And the billows of cloud that around thee roll
Shall sleep in the light of a wondrous day,
Where Hell and Heaven shall leave thee free
To the universe of destiny.

This world is the nurse of all we know,
This world is the mother of all we feel,
And the coming of death is a fearful blow
To a brain unencompassed with nerves of steel;
When all that we know, or feel, or see,
Shall pass like an unreal mystery.

The secret things of the grave are there,
Where all but this frame must surely be,
Though the fine-wrought eye and the wondrous ear
No longer will live to hear or to see
All that is great and all that is strange
In the boundless realm of unending change.

Who telleth a tale of unspeaking death?
Who lifteth the veil of what is to come?
Who painteth the shadows that are beneath
The wide-winding caves of the peopled tomb?
Or uniteth the hopes of what shall be
With the fears and the love for that which we see?

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

My life is forsook!

I am a Vampire, he said staring at her,
A very old Vampire, you can tell by my skin,
My eyes and expression give also a hint,
While my pointed, sharp teeth give more than a hint.

*

I can see by your skin, he answered, I do,
And also your eyes and expression; it’s true,
But the stare on your face has cast a strange spell,
Making me trust you, despite not feeling well.

*

Still staring at her, the Vampire replied,
You’d never believe me; you’d think I had lied,
If the stare on my face was gone; it’s a fact,
No one would trust this salty old Cat.

*

Without offering her a chance to reply,
The Vampire went on with his horrible lie,
Then, creeping closer and closer on the cold deck,
He pounced, lashed out, and bit her bare neck.

*

Feeling the hurt and the blood running down,
She said, I was such a daft clown,
To have trusted a Vampire because of his look,
Drained of all blood, my life is forsook!
