“No man is an island,
entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent”
John Donne

Island

On an
Deserted island
I got slammed

This is, my land
This is, where I make my stand
Here lays, my strand

If here, you try to land
Know that, you’ll be damned
By the wave, of my hand
You will be, hanged

Spring Weather (four)

“In the Spring,
I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours”
Mark Twain

Spring Weather

A single branch
Making its stance
Sprung out of spring
Now, let’s all sing

Spring Weather (one)

“In the Spring,
I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours”
Mark Twain

Spring Weather

The grass, green
It’s the time of spring
The birds, do sing
But,
Big white snowballs
From the sky fall
WTF?

Life again
Oh, so fine

“In the Spring,
I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours”
Mark Twain

Spring Weather

Life is a struggle. the say
All you can do to survive, is pray…

…Especially in a hail storm
With a kid in a trolly
Oh, what folly!

Sepia

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia”
Ellen Hopkins

Sepia

The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last

Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

Around the World in Black and White (one)

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne

Around the World in Black and White 

In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins

Around the World in Black and White (two)

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne

Around the World in Black and White 

Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise

After the Storm

“After a storm comes a calm”
Matthew Henry

After the Storm

After the storm
Everything is calm
Surrounded by silence
When roaming the island
Not a soul in sight
A sole bird in flight
The scent of nature
The intoxicating mixture
Enhanced by rain
Hard to restrain
My rejoicement
