Hidden 1

“Not a visible enthusiasm but a hidden one, an excitement burning with a cold flame.”
Patrick Süskind

Hide and seek

When playing the game
Of hide and seek
To hide one’s true name
Takes a lot of effort and technique

Hiding in plain sight
In the revealing daylight
A game only for the smart
As played for the art

Painted Red (Bench/Seat Sunday)

“The judge told me to approach the bench. We were in a park”Jarod Kintz,

Painted Red

The only bright spot
In the entire parking lot
In the midst of suburbia
Causing a minor hysteria
The colour of reddest red
Some say, it joy may spread

Carefully trying to sit
Just to see, if it is a fit
After I little while
I started to smile
The colour seemed to be
A perfect choice for me

And soon enough…
As far as the eye could see
All the red painted seats
Were occupied to the extreme

There is something to be said
Of the colour red
It never leaves you cold
Yes, and I too was sold

Tiger Cat

I am a tiger cat
Hear me roar!

My furry stripes
I am wearing proud
Sometimes picking a fight
‘Cause I like being loud

But when groomed and fed
And safely resting in bed
I am a cute little kitty
Without any hissy fitty

I am a soft kitty
Hear me purr

“Connecting People” The Artist formerly known as Nokia

Victorian Times

After stone knives and bearskins
The science started to spin
Something called the telephone
And no less, but in a cramped booth
Enabled us to phone home
Life beginning to be very smooth
Keeping us connected

The Dark Side of the Moon

If you are howling at the moon
You know it’s not twelve in the noon
Maybe doing a little dance
Around the garden in the nude prance
Paying homage to the big white ball in the sky
Whether down on the ground or up high
Some of us are more night people than others
If you think someone it bothers
Just tell them never mind, be kind
Let out a big smile
Tell them no tall tails
And if all else fails
Moon them!

Sunrise

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present” Francis Bacon

Suburban Rise and Fall

Between the early morning hours
And day light’s end
A sunrise most gorgeous
Into the setting of sun will blend
