“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbor
Simply Blue
Simple, with blue
Some red in the view
A blurry object
Nothing too perfect
Just something caught in a frame
And for that, you have me to blame

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years”
Frank Lampard
Office Home and Away
A home office seat
Far a way from the heat
A quaint little corner
Filled with four borders
A room filled with order
No place for the explorer
But hard work
By the wage earner

“Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life” Alejandro Jodorowsky
Caturday
The tourist of a foreign land
Came here to our strand
We let them snap some photos
And for them, strike a few poses
Scratching our backs
There is no lack
Of many a treats
Neatly we sit
Until all the pix
Are snapped
And the strangers all gone
Then we, just run along

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence” Ansel Adams
“Ready for my Close-up”
Getting closer and closer
A little more closer
Almost close enough
For an object to touch
But wait, time to hesitate
The cactus with mighty thorns
May your fingers scorn
Before you loose
Better choose
The creamy strawberries
With their pals blueberries
A tasty treat
Without any meat
Some eye candy to complete
With a red amaryllis ever so sweet

Mistrust is such an Ugly Word
My poor little mistrusting thing
Think ,what joy a friend may bring
Together sharing your precious blings
Laughing when playing in the swing
Trust is a difficult thing
You say quicker than the clock could ding
I am afraid of the sting
Even if it means alone I would sing
Your world may not always be on a string
And you may not always be the king
But if you want that bell to ring
Spread out far your wings
And in the chorus you may sing

“Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs” Susan Sontag
Mallorca
Palma Nova
The sweetest Rosa
Of the island Mallorca
Welcomes
The weary traveler
A world’s passenger
Come
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach
Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be

“A quotation is a handy thing to have about,
saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business”

“To bring the sublime into the mundane is the greatest challenge there is.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan
I’ll follow if You lead
Where ever you’ll go
I will follow
You are my human
I am your dog-man
I don’t care if you wear pink
Even though others say it stinks
So let’s end this in a rhyme
And I will ‘go’ on the chime

“A seat fit for a Queen”
Yellow Seat
In the bright yellow seat
A guaranteed smile as a treat
When you sit down
You will find an upside frown
Appearing on your face

“Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life” Alejandro Jodorowsky
Caturday
Cats of a foreign land
Sitting on a lava strand
Too hot to fish
Too hot for a stroll
Guess, the best bet is
To hang around the bowl
On this lazy sunny day
Nothing else to do but lay
