World Wide Wednesday Presents, Delphi, Parts Two
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Blue Moment
That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…
…A natural true blue

My Little Piece of Heaven
There is just
something about you
I am in lust
And only for you
I am finding it impossible
to stay away
Highly improbable
Anything would keep me at bay
I lost you
Luckily
I found you
My little bit of Heaven
By sweet sweet
I am up to seven
My one and only treat
My sweet chocolate bar
In a serial package
You didn’t venture too far
When I was tracking

“There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles” Author Unknown
Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is!
You may be iconic
But also diabolic
It’s quite symbolic
To call me a ‘holic
But still I frolic
When I get glycogenic
Pining for your taste
Of the full flavour laced
With truffles
My mouth muffled
When I eat
My favourite treat
My life in dire straits
Would be
Without the traits
You offer me
Oh sweet Chocolate
Thee

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday
“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” George Eliot
The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part Two
The odds and ends
This theme extends
Another mundane Monday
It’s not just an other week day
But a time for little things
Which much joy will bring

The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part One
An other week started
Living in it full hearted
Caught by the blue moment
In the early morning hours
Much to my enjoyment
It gave me super powers
Working through the days
Enjoying the evening haze
The sunsets and the darkness
With promises
Of a new tomorrow

Another Early Morning Sunrise; A Late Night Sunset
Another Early Morning Sunrise
After the stormy weather and pouring rain
The sun came out to play again
The early October morning, day called Monday
It seems I can start calling it my fun day
A Late Night Sunset
The eve was about to set
I was once again treated
With a another gorgeous sunset
Today, on this Monday
One of the last days of October
An homage to Hillary Rodham Clinton; Many happy returns!
“I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas” Hillary Clinton
Homage to HRC, Happy 68th Birthday!
Having the community’s best at heart
Showing off as smart
Making sure no one left behind
Is nothing but kind
Women’s rights
Gay rights
Equal rights
Everyone’s rights
You may have made a few snafus
But then again, we all do
Still,
I would vote for you
A Woman’s place is on the bridge
Not serving milk from the fridge
Madame President
No better resident
for the White House

but I don’t know anyone who can do it better”

The End of Colour
This is the end of colour
Of the pain and sorrow!
The October rain
Finally came
Lashed down the leaves
Now it’s just heaps
Of gray on the ground
No colour to be found
It is the end of colour

Posted in Travel Words Bench Photo Challenge, the Bench Series
“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf
Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!
Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
