Picking up a tray
For a while
Planning to stay
In this cozy
Family style cafe

Triptych
Not saving any ink
Painted pink
The house stands tall
Winter, Spring, Summer and fall
In the harbour
From port to starboard

“The empty vessel makes the loudest sound” William Shakespeare
Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-03-14
I have often been teased about my totally “empty desk” at work and when this quote caught my eye today, I could not help laughing out loud, and for quite a while I might add 😉 Well, if the shoe fits…
“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” Albert Einstein

“I want a Jaguar, Jaguar, a Jaguar car” Gun Roswell
Jaguar for Mundane Monday
Shiny bright objects
On the hood of the car
Not satisfied admiring from afar
Closing in with careful steps
Ornaments of gorgeous animals
Mouths agape like howling cannibals
A feline of sorts
Put on this car of sports
A Jaguar,
Can go quite far
But how about,
This old car?
Got my prize
In a pocket size
A snap for this post
Now the image a ghost
Driving in my Fiesta
I really need a siesta
But in my mind
A tune of a different kind
“I want a Jaguar, Jaguar, a Jaguar car”
Happy Monday All; It’s good to be back!

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Hurry, reserve that Seat!
“Hurry, hurry!
Someone will steal
That cool seat
And we’ll be left standing
On our two feet!”

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Good Seats come in Threes!
They say
Good things
Don’t grow on trees
But some things
Come in threes
And make great seats

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Green Seat
A little lone seat
Painted in green
Out here in the heat
Maybe old fashioned
And a little compassion
Add some graffiti
And it’ll turn out neat!

“You know, from my point of view, I’m the luckiest cat on the planet” Hugh Hefner
For Caturday
Cats, cats, cats
I see a lots of cats
Cats over there
And cats over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere
Oh, look at the pretty cat
In the window there
What window, where?
Over there, over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere

Poetry, Day Ten: Future
Could it be our last day of Intro to Poetry already?! Let’s keep our spirits up by focusing on whatever it is that’s coming next. Whether it’s about tomorrow, next October, or the year 2345, let today’s poem be inspired by your vision of the future. (Fears, hopes, and plans are equally acceptable, of course. As are robots!)
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves” William Shakespeare
Road to Nowhere
The future
Now uncertain
When removed is
The safety curtain
No time
For bloopers
Nor reruns
Used is
The last dime
For a trip
To the sun
First
Summer
Then fall
No bummer
Just a ball
Future
Unfolds
We are
On a road
To nowhere
Travelling fast
Forgetting
The past
It would not
Have lasted
Anyway
Future
Unknown
Or so
We were told
Never mind
Just be kind
Your place
You will find
Past, present
All in imperfect
Time still
Well spent
Now
Heads up
Finish
Your cup
Legs, arms
Tucked inside
Let the slide
Your way
Down guide

“I feel… sexier, I think, with short hair. I feel like an alien!” Pamela Anderson
Aliens Have Landed for Daily Photo
They are everywhere!
On the walls,
On the railings
Scary little aliens
They have finally landed!
