“When travelling, travel in style” Gun Roswell
The boy with a chariot
With a look so serious
Horses as beasts of burden
He may be a rich man’s servant
But driving with fervency
Loving his chariot passionately

Quote a Week Tuesday
Posted in A Quote a Week Tuesday
For this week, I have chosen a couple quotes for the upon coming (hopefully!) summer season:
“Summer:
Hair gets lighter,
skin gets darker,
water gets warmer,
drinks get colder,
music gets louder,
nights get longer,
life gets better.”

Pretty in Yellow for Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday
Almost every Monday I have a charity thing. I like that. I do” Yogi Berra
Pretty in Yellow
Yellow!
Said the fellow
As he helloed
With a bellow
Of a voice
A little rejoice
In his voice
After all
He had broken protocol
And was finally
Smelling the flowers

Seat on an Aeroplane
Posted in Seat Sunday
“In an aeroplane seat, en route to nowhere”
Seat on an Aeroplane
A reserved seat
By the window
Supposed treat
With a small peep hole
A looking glass
For what ever may pass
The wing
Of this flying thing

The Girl and her Cat
Posted in Caturday
“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and her Cat
Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat
No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat
No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set
If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it” Ansel Adams
Fav Foto Friday!
How to choose a favourite
Do I even dare of it?
I love all “my offspring”
From early morning
To late of the night
I keep up the good fight
For my photographs
What more could I ask

When it Rains it Pours (TBT)
Posted in Throwback Thursday
“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow” Gilbert K. Chesterton
When it Rains it Pours
The rain came down a pouring
The sound loud as roaring
Frozen drops, balls of hail
No time to stop and flail
Pounding hard onto the ground
A safe harbour needs to be found
The nature showing it’s full force
When it rains, then it pours

A Quick Trip to Paris eleven
Posted in World Wide Wednesday
“When in Paris, the good times cherish”
Gun Roswell
A Quick Trip to Paris
Doorways to the hidden secrets
Gates leading us to new fates
Stairways going up and down
Secret underpasses leading underground
This is Paris, the adventure
Try yourself non too much to censore
Just go with the flow and join the other dancers

Quote a Week Tuesday
Posted in A Quote a Week Tuesday
For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen a reminder for us all:
Practice like you’ve never won,
In everything you do;
Success isn’t made overnight,
Let it be well done by you.
Perform like you’ve never lost,
Do all the best that you can;
No need for wasting time,
Show that you are the man.
Practice like you’ve never won,
Losing shall pull you down;
Exert extra effort to prevail,
Becoming talk of the town.
Perform like you’ve never lost,
Don’t be scared to make a mistake;
Learn lessons from failures
To taste the icing of the cake.
Discipline is all you need,
Days of negligence are gone;
Triumph tomorrow shall shine,
Practice like you’ve never won.
Bernard F. Asuncion

Red Roses for Mundane Monday

“Almost every Monday I have a charity thing. I like that. I do” Yogi Berra
Red Roses
Roses are red
Violets are blue
And so am I
So try not to mind
This poem has no rhyme
