Two Year Anniversary on WordPress
Today, it has been two years since I started my blog Rantings of a Third Kind here on WordPress.
“A poem a day keeps the shrink at bay”, is a great guideline to follow and it is has been working for me at least!
My advice, in case you asked, to all you bloggers and wanna be writers out there, is to set yourself some time aside each day and if nothing else, pour your mind flow onto the paper or as it is in these modern days, in bits and bytes. I know this may sound like cliched advice, but it’s better to force yourself to a routine of writing rather than postponing it for one reason or another. I know there are always excuses as to why not, but in the end, if you have a passion for writing, the excuse are just that – excuses. And do not be afraid to publish, good or bad, it’s all good in the end.

Rock and a Hard Place
Posted in Simply Poetry
“If there is a wrong time and a place, I’ll be there!”
Rock and a Hard Place
I was stuck
Between a rock
And a very hard place
Wondering
Should I go
Or should I stay
If I go
Will it be slow?
If I stay
Will I end up
In dismay?
Which ever I choose
Something I may loose
But, what if,
Instead
Looking ahead
The constant flow
Of the middle road
Just taking it easy
And oh so very slow

“I am a doctor, not a magician!” Leonard McCoy
Homage to DeForest Kelley (1920-1999)
I am a doctor, not a doorstop
I can go on nonstop
I am a miracle worker
Maybe even a tearjerker
Concocting cures for all ailments
I have the treatments
No matter if my patients
Be alien or human
Even if the Yeoman
Came down with the flu
I have the cure and the clue
On what to do
So maybe I am a magician
The premium edition
And even that green blooded
Gosh, darn, crud it…Vulcan
Has to admit it
And I am loving every damned minute!

Night Fall
Standing tall
Before the night fall
Trying to stall
One minute more
Before the darkness
Consumes it all

Autumn Leaves
The colourful autumn leaves
Gently in the early morning light heave
Soon it will be eve
And the sun will take its leave
But no need to grieve
Just fall asleep and dream
For soon enough, an other day weaves

Holiday Dreams
Under the palm tree
Feeling totally free
Never mind
The thirty odd degrees

Frozen Lake
The set-up, looking quite fake
With all these, frosted snow flakes
Covering, the frozen lake
It may be a cliche
This, wintery display
But allow me to explain
Then you decide
If this scenery of open wide
Is something you find
Enchanting
