“Color is everything, black and white is more.” – Dominic Rouse
Day 4
Hovering above the world
Wings spread like a big bird
Voice screeching to be heard
Like a flying seagull high in the sky
Soaring, into the grey horizon
There is no one defined reason
Only the thrill of being
In the here and now

“Black and white is abstract; color is not. Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world” Joel Sternfeld
Day 3
Frost bitten branches and leaves
Above a small dwelling still heave
The wind cold and freezing
Breathing in the throat keeps on wheezing
“This weather, certainly takes your breath away”
Just be careful not too long to stay
Warm mittens and a thick coat
And certainly a woolen scarf for that throat

Day 2
Winter continues with all its muster
Snow pouring down, faster and faster
The forest with its trees covered in light
Powdery crystals in the colour of white
A passageway in front quite clear
Do not hesitate or fear
Take a step into the wonder and delight
And soon you have something about to write

“The only photograph I regret, is the one I did not take”
Verbania, Italy
The sun is setting
And the daily tasks are letting
Time to relax and enjoy the setting
Of a gorgeous sun
In the company of chosen ones
Inhaling
Exhaling
Into,
The mood getting
Simply letting
The evening air
Wash away
Any and all,
Despair
WONDER WOMAN by Björn Rudberg: Happy Womens Day All!
Willowbender woman — you
wind and force of fury,
sage and savory;
woman sun and rainbowmender,
your day today is bright
but you are mostly every night,
women — you
are moon and might.
Wondergender woman — you.
A tribute to every woman, to all the women. Written for dVerse OLN where Grace hosts tonight.

“In the beginning it was all black and white” Maureen O’Hara
Day 1
Snow covering, all of the land
Just like designed and planned
The Winter’s hand
Lays heavily on each strand
Not one inch de-clutched
Not one place untouched
Nature has made its mark
With a white noiseless bark

“When in Paris, the good times cherish”
Gun Roswell
A Quick Trip to Paris
When visiting Paris, no matter what the agenda: work, leisure, forced or voluntary
Try to fit at least one monument, tourist trap or other sight into your itinerary
After all, this is the city of love and light
You may end up falling for it at first sight

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar
Two, One
It started with a few
Then there were two
Only remaining
A single one
Nothing to be done
The time for Winter
Has finally come
Posted in Seat Sunday
“The best seat in the house”
Snowy Seat on a Sunday
It may be cold outside
With lots of frosted snow
But as the sun comes from its hide
You need to take it slow
Take a seat for a while
Even if it’s not your style
And simply enjoy with a smile…
But, thank goodness: It’s almost summer now!
