Feeling Nostalgic for the Daily Post

“It is strange how we hold on to the pieces of the past while we wait for our futures.”
― Ally Condie, Matched

Island Life

Not a pin drop can be heard
Not even the chirping of a bird
On this island far and remote
Be sure to bring a full tote
There will be no ships nor boats
Just a very, very wide mote
Between you and the creature comforts
But we can promise you lots of
Hard work and windy air
But to be fair
You wanted to get away from it all!

Pirates

“Shiver me timbers
For I am getting sober
Pass another bottle
And we’ll go full throttle!”

Pirates

“Aargh!
Pirates we’ll be
Nothing will stop us you see!
We are tough and loud
Even Mom would be proud
Our daily fishing now is done
It’s time to drink, dance and have some fun!”

Nostalgia

Ah, Nostalgia
That sense of euphoria
Would even impress Gloria
When you are remembering
The “good old days”…

“There’s something that’s really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think”
Jim Gaffigan

Grey

Grey may be mundane
Or the colour of a great dane
But it has no fame
And sometimes gets the blame

Real of Reflection

Is it real
Or just a reflection?
Just fall
Into the deception

Grey for the ocean
Grey for the sky
Is this a dream
In black and white?

Sunrise
Or sunset?
It may be in the eyes
Of the onlooker
Or however the picture
Was devised

Feet on the Ground for SL-Week

As oddly as it may sound
I am quite profound
My feet firmly on the ground
Now that I have found
My shiny red shoes!
