Under the Red Sun for Daily Photo

“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair…”
― Susan Polis Schutz

Orange Hue

“I promise to paint you a picture
With red and yellow as a mixture
If you promise me one thing:
When the sun sets,
You do not sing!”

“Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second” Mattie Stepanek

Red Sunset for Daily Photo

“Fire, fire!”
The natives shouted in a dire
Pointing at the late night sky
Worrying if the world was about to die

As the big bright ball
Made its fall
Darkness soon to follow
Leaving the village cold and hollow

“Fear not my ignorant friend”
The village elder was on the fend
“For tomorrow the bringer of light,
Will us yet another day delight”

Quote a Week Tuesday

For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen a little optimistic boost; something we all need once and a while. From one of my favourite authors C.S. Lewis:

“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
C.S. Lewis

Simple for 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

Simple for 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 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

A Code to Joy or 2016 06 27 51

Posted in Birthday Celebration, Irony, Humour

“All right, it’s worked so far, but we’re not out yet” Dr McCoy, Star Trek

A Code to Joy or 2016 06 27 51

gr 51

Ciphered code:
2016 06 27 51

A lottery number?
You may have won!
No, not in this mode
Just fall back to slumber

Nothing too cryptic
Nothing remotely close to apocalyptic
But, a date of some importance
At least for where I take my stance

Today, turning fifty one
Feeling, like a phaser on stun
Pardon the Star Trek pun
Being La Gun, is still lots of fun

So:
Happy Birthday to me-ee!

Black and White

Would it be easier
If the world was black and white?
Would it be easier
To distinguish wrong from right?
Instead of fight
Choosing flight?
What if…
Never mind!
It only vintage in my own mind

Ride on a Train

Join me on a joyride
Travelling world wide
Without a tour guide
Learning all with pride
On this vintage train
The trip made not in vane
But much more to gain
Than just driving on the lane

Bombs Away!

It was nineteen and forty-five
The world, in a deep dive
Trying very hard to survive
And we did, so for that
A high five!
