The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Time

This week, think about time and portray it photographically. Maybe you have a photo about one of the activities in the extract from Haig’s book above. Perhaps you have a fascination with clocks. Or maybe contemplating time takes you somewhere else completely. I hope you enjoy this week’s challenge.

“Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible” Stephen Hawking

Seconds

Heart beating
Time is running out
Only a few seconds left
For the ultimate request
Using a different route
Feels like cheating

Finally reaching
My own hideout
No time for rest
Only doing my best
No time for tryout
Parameter breaching

Safely in my blue box
Punching the clock
Time starts moving
Seconds removing
Going backwards
Against standards

They said
It couldn’t be done
But did I bet
And know I am gone
Back in time
Trying to find
…My future

“Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren’t always good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems.” Billy Joel

The Good Old Times

In the good old times…

Everything was cheaper
The sky was much bluer
The summers were longer
The winters were colder
The children played nicer
The women were prettier
The men more handsome
The songs were chansons
The television shows were better
Complaints were written in letters
The world was wider
Everyone drank cider

And over all…
Everyone had more fun

In the good old times!

“Bright light, Bright light!” The Gremlins

Lights in the Window

Colourful aren’t they?
Pretty too, wouldn’t you say?
Feeling kind of comfortable, are you?
Well, just follow the colorful hue
Step into our humble house
We may even have a mouse
Sit down, take a load off
A cup of hot
We’ll bring you on the dot

“On my way here I passed a local cinema and it turned out you were expecting me after all, for the billboards read: The Mummy Returns.” Margaret Thatcher

Snow Mummies

Uncovered from the snow
In the dark night they glow
Small black stones for eyes
Only afraid of the sunrise
Melting their worst enemy
Cold weather the only remedy
Sitting pretty for now
Until the earth they will bow

‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ Hamlet

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-09

“To be, or not to be…” is the opening phrase of a soliloquy in the “Nunnery Scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. In the speech, a despondent Prince Hamlet contemplates death and suicide.

On the lighter side of this quote, I have adapted it to the world of blogging.

Sometimes we, bloggers, hit a wall, yes that does actually happen more often than anyone realizes! During this period, while banging our heads against the wall, we are asking ourselves “Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging?”

Maybe it is the knock of the wall that makes us come to our senses, and at this time a proverbial lamp lights upon our collective heads. And it’s when we realize, the question is actually wrong!?

So why not consider this question instead:

“To blog or not to blog? That’s a trick question, isn’t it?”

And this response to the question is:

“We blog, therefore we are!”

“It’s snowing outside”

She loudly out cried
When through the window eyed
But then, with one quick stride
Without even a good-bye
And to everyone’s surprise
She was gone like a spy
Out into the great wild
Also known as the outside
