Thursday

Not a pretty day
The lack of sun
Cannot be fun

The icy cold mist
Does nothing to enlist
To the fan base
Of this common day
Also known
As Thursday

Oh, but look!
There might be hope
In the horizon
The sun is arising!
All hail
It’s Thursday!

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Optimistic

This week show us something you’re optimistic about, or perhaps a talisman that helps you stay positive and hopeful, regardless of what life (and the weather!) throws your way.

Optimistic (The Daily Post) Five

The cup
Is always
Half full
The liquid
May run out
For a time
But sooner
And not later
It will be
Filled up
Again

Winter?
So what!
I don’t care!
I am feeling
Quite optimistic
Riding my bike
Sitting on a bench
So what if it snows
It’s almost June!

The hustle and bustle
The busy working life
Because I have
Holiday on my mind
And soon it will be time
To unwind

Sunshine on a winter’s day
The nature’s showing a halo
The cold and snow to fade
And soon, it will be May

Optimistic (The Daily Post) One

Living, breathing, growing
Even if it is still snowing
Bending not breaking
Sometimes shaking
But soon it will be warm
After the cold and storm

Throwback Thursday 2016-01-28

Each Thursday we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

Here are a few featured today for your enjoyment today:

“Do more, complain less”

I need a Different Tune to Sing to

Repeat this mantra and you’ll soon believe it
Turning into a complete little shit
“My head is empty, my head is empty, my head is empty,
completely and abso-freaking-lutely empty”

Not one sensible thought passing through
The mind no longer sharp and clever
The neurons and positrons or what ever
Have turned into some kind of inert goo

Head spinning around like being possessed
Just like Linda Blair in the Exorcist
The thought pattern repeating those same old tunes
Feels like running on mere fumes

Stuck and totally out of luck
Like a sitting duck awaiting the slayer
Or a broken needle on a record player
Not adding any new layers

Complaining more and nothing gets done
Seems the mojo is lost and so is all the fun
It is time to change the needle or the record
Even if it takes a lot of effort

Repeating this mantra and soon you will believe
The best proven remedy to achieve
Is to do more and complain less
And in a new tune singing your way out of this mess
