Jopo bicycle, celebrating 50 years 11.09.2015

In nineteen sixty five
It was made to drive
Vintage like myself
From the top shelf
It may be simple
But a smile with a dimple
When riding this bike
Which everyone likes

September Sunset in Suburbia

“Paradise is a state of being, more than just the name of a suburb or a home” Raquel Cepeda

September Sunset in Suburbia

The sun is setting
Day fading into night
Time to count the blessings
Turn on the street lights
Sooner than later
Slumber will cater
Silence over suburbia
Will replace the hysteria

Shadow play

“A man is whole only when he takes into account his shadow” Djuna Barnes

Shadow play

Playing hide and seek
With the part of me
That is truly unique
If you want to complete
The whole picture
Then look closely
In the image of ghostly
There might be a fracture
Which reveals all

Photography & Poetry

Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile De Godoy

“My favourite poem is the one that starts ‘Thirty days hath September’ because it actually tells you something” Groucho Marx

September

Oh bitter sweet September
The time for splendor
The nature soon covered
With a variety of beautiful colours
The illusion of warmth
Before the storm
