“Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken”
D. H. Lawrence
Water’s Edge for The Daily Post
Landing softly
Like, into a big cup of coffee
Swimming around calmly
The water cool and salty
What did I expect?
This is sea water in all its respects!
Fish daring near
Without any kind of fear
Cool, I think
Now I am the king (or maybe queen)
Of all the sea creatures
Didn’t expect that
In this feature!

“Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken”
D. H. Lawrence
Water’s Edge for The Daily Post
When standing on the edge
I made this solemn pledge
To dive in
Even if,
There would be ice thin
Luckily,
This September weather
Is a reminiscent of a soft feather
More so,
Than a rainy autumn
Boy,
Must the Forecast Gods feel dumb!

Colours and Candy for Mundane Monday
"Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored" David Byrne
Colours
A work of art?
Or something smart?
A splash of colour
Will leave you wonder
What is beyond there?
A work of art
Or something,
Even more smart?

Candy
A bowl filled with candy
Would cheer up even Mandy
Keep it handy
And you’ll never go cranky!

"I stare at myself in the mirror and I think, 'Wow, I'm really great-looking.'... I think I'm the greatest, anyway" Iggy Pop
Selfies in the Mirror for The Daily Post
I am the prettiest of them all
At least after too much alcohol
Trying to stand here very tall
Realizing I really need a total overhaul

"I stare at myself in the mirror and I think, 'Wow, I'm really great-looking.'... I think I'm the greatest, anyway" Iggy Pop
Selfies in the Mirror for The Daily Post
Admiring our own reflection
From each and every direction
Ducky lips, eyes transfixed
Oh what ages we live in
It’s really hard not to give in
To the prettiest face staring

"I stare at myself in the mirror and I think, 'Wow, I'm really great-looking.'... I think I'm the greatest, anyway" Iggy Pop
Selfies in the Mirror for The Daily Post
Around and around we all flock
Each other’s views trying to block
Stabbing each other’s backs
Until the mirror almost cracked

Selfies in the Mirror for The Daily Post
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Who really is the prettiest
On the selfie-sticks of them all:
Me, you, or the neighbour’s dog?

Suburban Living for Mundane Monday
Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue
An image from yesteryear
On an odd surface appeared
Reflected against the modern
In this city of the northern
A reminder of older times
When living was ‘roses and wine’
Or so they say,
To keep the youth astray
But whether,
Something old
Or whether,
Something new
Even with
The best of view
Both still could be
Golden

Framed for the Daily Post
“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.”
Framed Landscape
Blue skies and sunfried fields
From the bus window do I see
Only a few moments
But time all well spent
And now my reward
Is permanently stored:
A framed landscape
Recorded, onto tape
