“I see a bunch of greys” Gun Roswell

Monochromania

Looking at the world through monochromatic eyes
Eyes wide without any shade or disguise
Disguise, which is so easy to cover
Cover up all the faults
Faults only visible in true colours
Colours so easily distorted Distorted like the inevitable truth
Truth which cannot be hidden Hidden in the shades and shadows
Shadows only seen in the darkness
Darkness hiding in the black Black and white turning to grey
Grey, which is the true colour Colour without any kind of colour
Colour only described as monochrome

Monochrome in so many shades
Shades you learn to love Love rather than hate Hate really is such an ugly colour
Colour so much more than any other
Other could be like monochrome Monochrome mania Mania to celebrate it all

All in the Family for TBT

“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”

All in the Family

Can’t live with them
Can’t live with them
That is really all that can be said
Rather than whining, I wrote this ode instead

I would like to put them in a box
And take them out when ever needed
But there is a warning to be headed
They really are quite crazy
Maybe a little hazy
And cunning like the fox
The may not be my kind of crazy
But they are still family
Even though scattered all over
Like a five leaf clover
I still have the luxury
Maybe even compulsory
To keep in touch with them
Thank Goodness for such gems
As Instagram and Facebook
Now we are all hooked

So without resistance
Lets enjoy the distance
No just kidding
I love you guys!

THE SIGN (two)

“If you were waiting for a sign, this is it”

The Sign

Follow all the signs
They will lead you to a price
But you may be surprised
When the credit card bill arrives

“If you were waiting for a sign, this is it”

The Sign

Whether looking for a wine tasting
Or a payphone to call back home
You may find something amazing
When you are on the roam

“Feeling a little blue in January is normal”
Marilu Henner

January in Black and White

No sense in wasting colour
It won’t get any better or duller
The nature all in monochrome
Like after a white paint bomb

Art Work

After the snow storm
The water’s edge has transformed
Into a picturesque tableau,
Oh, what a show!

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow” Helen Keller

Dark Shadows

The sky filled with darkness
The cast shadows seem harmless
The calm before the storm
Everything soon to transform

Caturday with Mr Diesel: The Song 

mr-d-4

I am Mr Diesel the dog
I sometimes sleep like a log
My vision hazy because of smog
I chewed up my mom’s good clogs
And almost got sent to Prague

Sometimes I like to jog
Or pretend I am a frog
I know someone keeps a blog
Of all my adventures like a travel-log
But now I really need to end this monologue
If you want autographs, just order from the catalogue
End transmission in one, two…. Off

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water”
Rabindranath Tagore

Monochromatic Waters

A nature’s monochromatic sketch
Close to the water’s edge
Rock and liquid merging
Becoming each others’ version
