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

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day One: On the Rocks

Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing

Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip

Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim

After all, it is Spring Time!

Dark Side of the Odd (Mundane Monday)

There in the corner it stood
Like something from the tales of the odd
Or maybe, it was just misunderstood

“If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago” Oma Desala

Candlelight (SL-WEEK)

The clock strikes close to midnight
Basking in the glow of the candlelight
Staring into the fire’s might
Conjuring up images on what to write
After all, this is the nightly rite
And the eternal fight
For a writer, up in the late hours of the night

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

Ode to My 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!

Family (The Daily Post: Future)

Family you are born to
Family you can make
They may not always be what you want
But be sure to give them a break

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Mundane Monday (2016-04-11)

Monday attitude?
More, like a platitude!

Don’t slouch
And be a grouch
Get off that couch!

Choose a mental state
Which is not sedate
Sit up straight
And join the debate!

Repeat this mantra
It’s only a Monday
Tomorrow’s Tuesday…
And abracadabra
Soon enough, Friday

“I’ve always thought photography was a bit of an adventure, so to come home with the film, develop it, then look at the results has more of a sense of excitement” Anton Corbijn
