“Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored” David Byrne

Colours

A work of art?
Or something smart?
A splash of colour
Will leave you wonder
What is beyond there?
A work of art
Or something,
Even more smart?

A Seat in Cyprus for Seat Sunday

A Seat in Cyprus

A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

And I don’t give a toss
If you care to floss
After eaten the sauce

Birds for Fav Foto Friday

The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo…

Happy 73rd Birthday to Dame Helen Mirren

Posted in Celebration/Fandom

“I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous” Helen Mirren

Dame Helen Mirren

The star of everything that matters
Stating this not just for the sake of flatters
The Queen, the Chief Inspector, a tart
Playing them all with very much smart

She is definitely not a prude
When prancing in the nude
Not afraid to speak her mind
Even if it meant to be a little unkind

A naughty word here and there
To make her point, if you weren’t clear
Pure perfection of talent and beauty
Always with the sense of duty

A rose by any other name
Let’s all hail to our Dame:
Happy 73rd birthday!

World Wide Wednesday in Evia, Greece

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“We travel,
some of us forever,
to seek other places,
other lives,
other souls.”
– Anais Nin

Evia

No sun a shining
When the storm clouds
Fill the horizon
Time to sail ashore
Before the all mighty Thor
Hits his hammer

The wind’s subsiding
The mist arising
It’s all calm
After the storm

Blue skies
Blue waters
No need,
To go any further

Perfect moments can be had,
but not preserved,
except in memory.

Simply Red in Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday 

“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 Red

Simple it the word
Easily slurred
But for a mundane day
The colour is grey
With a touch of red
Unravelling the thread

Seat in the Rain

Night falls
Time stalls
Rain falls
Time towards
The home to hall
This bench
Was none too comfy
Anyways
