An Homage to Dame Maggie Smith, Many Happy Returns!

A voice distinctive
A resume most impressive
Shining in theatre
Radiant in features

With your pal Judi
An impression truly
Being quite daft
But making us laugh

You starred with Angela
In a movie by Agatha
One of my favourite Dames
You will most certainly remain

On this day of joy
Shouting ahoy
And wishing
Many happy returns

“Even for me life had its gleams of sunshine” Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Basking in the Sun (Daily Photo 2015-12-28)

The working day has begun
Must admit it, just no fun
Looking out the window
Seeing cold weather and snow

Just for a moment
My mind wanders
Back to holidays
Back to the time
When I was
Basking in the sun

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #39

“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch

Dolls (Mundane Monday)

Eyes staring
Almost glaring
Never moving
Only viewing

Toward the future?
Or into the past?

No one knows
What on goes
In a doll’s mind
Just be kind

You may be surprised
Or even, hypnotized

They may be mundane
Objects d’art even
Dolls in the window
But no one really knows

An Homage to Nichelle Nichols, Live Long and Prosper!

“All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world” NICHELLE NICHOLS

An Homage to Nichelle Nichols, Live Long and Prosper!

From science fiction
To science fact
From Lady Actress
To Lady Astronaut

A many of myths
You have broken
A multitude of gifts
And truly outspoken

An eternal beauty
With a sense of duty
A voice like an angel
With an attitude of the devil 😉

Uhura, Nichelle
We’re so very glad
Onto our screens you fell
Without you we’d be sad

This might sound a cliche
Live Long and Prosper!
