“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative –
better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles.”
Deborah Norville

Escalator

escalator-1
Living life in the mall’s simulator
When riding up and down the escalator
Keeping control, like an operator
From ride to ride, like a navigator
Each passenger, like an imitator
Step by step, feet moving like alternators

Sorry,
No wheels said the administrator
Or you will be labelled a violator
And thrown off from this cycle
Phew, just glad I was not a skater
Maybe sooner, than later
He’ll quit being a hater
Learn how to become a collaborator
And only then,
Be able to ride on the escalator

Shine for The Daily Post

An unusual event
Over suburbia manifested
A late afternoon halo effect
Painted a glowy silhouette

Sky painted red
Before the sun
Into the ocean fled

sunrise-1

The sun was rising
Over the horizon
Surely, a reason
For celebration
Especially here
In this season!

ball-1
A big white ball
In nature’s great hall
It’s tentacles sprawled
Across the bluest of walls

“My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee,
eating porridge and reading the paper at a local café”
Anton du Beke

Local Book Mobile for the Daily Post

book-mobile-1

When you hear the sound of the wheels
As they slightly screech and squeal
A vehicle driving down the small road
All the kids are quickly up on their toes
Trying to get a glimpse of the nearing
Soon all their faces lit up and leering

The familiar sound of the tooting horn
Breaking the silence of the early morn’
The biggest of all the coaches
As the local book mobile approaches
Soon enough the children come a running
And started has the pushing and shoving

book-mobile-2

A little while later
Only the sound of paper
Rustling, as the books have found
A solid ground
In the hands of the readers
Truly, the books are mind feeders

Lost Horizon

Oh mighty Poseidon
Riddle me this:
Is that a storm rising
That I see in distance
Or did we just loose,
The horizon?

Stacked

Stacked
Tightly packed
If you try to subtract
Without a contract
Just remember this fact
You’ll get trapped
And completely compacted

Pine Cone

In the pine zone
Just another cone
Its brother’s clone
Still, hanging alone
When the rest will be gone

Restricted

A view restricted
Could not get it fixed
With feelings mixed
Almost in total eclipse
I yield to the twist
Continue my work transfixed…
NOT!

Hey, It’s Monday people,
What did you expect?
This day is truly evil!
