Darkening Skies

Darkening Skies

Another Saturday’s eve

Sitting, by the window sill

Watching the skies turn colour

Sensing, the change of odours

The sun is finally setting

The darkness is letting

The stars out to shine

The evening is turning out fine

I cannot help but smile

It had been a while

Crazy?

Crazy?

Call me crazy

Call me insane

Call me anything

But i will not explain

I am me

I am myself

I am it all

And everyone else

Tell me you hate me

Tell me you’ll kill me

I will laugh

I will not run

Couch Potato

Couch Potato

Ouch!

As I was sitting on the couch

Dumbfound as I was

Watching the flicker of the screen

Images, sounds

All of it i had already seen

Too lazy to move a muscle

It seemed a waste of energy

And maybe some channel trickery

After all, the same old repeating

So whom was i kidding

I knew all the lines by heart

Even that one commercial supposedly smart

So why do I keep watching then

When i could be doing the zen?

I, am the ultimate

Couch potato!

Cool blue

Cool blue

Into

The cool blues

Dipping in a toe

Still too cold

Do i dare

To dive in?

But wouldn’t it 

Be a sin

To waste this water inviting

Since this is the one thing

I came here for?

A slow summer’s day


a slow summer’s day

a slow day,

in summer

sunshine, 

no reason to whine?

just sit chill and unwind

soon it will be winter,

anyway

The bug lady

“Gorgeous little critters aren’t they, all dressed in the most fanciest of reds, with dots on them!” Gun Roswell

In the middle of summer,, all kinds of loud hummers will fly you by
But the one most likely candidate which will surely make you smile
Is the one born in the bright red colour and a dozen dots on its back
And that simple fact, makes this tiny bug, one of the most prettiest
It’s not just out of a jest, that this red one wins the buggy contest
Simply look at it, the perfection of its armoury, as it looks quite adoring
A true winner of miss nature, being one of the prettiest of bug creatures
So, giving the kudos and crown toggle one whom one the great title
Even if it was simply sitting pretty, posing for the camera set on idle
So, do salute the red clad lady bug, whenever you might her closely pass
Sitting pretty on a flower or a long lush green leaf for the duration of summer
And do hurry, as this pretty thing, can only be seen during the long months
Of warmth and fun, May, June, July and August, maybe even longer
Depending whether the weather might remain mildly warmer in the fall

Island cottage

“Load a basket full of goodies, make sure to include a hoodie, as July weather can be quite unpredictable, then get out and choose the perfect spot, have one of them, picnics they all talk so much about!” Gun Roswell

Going on a picnic
Come snow, hail or shine
After all, it is still July
Hoping not to get sick
Sitting on the beach
Shivering with cold
The warmth at arms reach
It’s summer I was told
Not time for mission abort
Should not have worn shorts
The rain soon falls
Drops like thick walls
Clothes getting wetter
Running to shelter
Looking for a hide
Getting inside
Cold and wet
And unfed
Cursing and swearing
Of this life unfairing
Looking outside again
Hoping no more rain
What the f…k?
The sun is back up!
