Yellow Seat (Seat Sunday 2016-02-14)

In the bright yellow seat
A guaranteed smile as a treat
When you sit down
You will find an upside frown
Appearing on your face

Seconds (The Daily Post Photo Challenge)

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Time

This week, think about time and portray it photographically. Maybe you have a photo about one of the activities in the extract from Haig’s book above. Perhaps you have a fascination with clocks. Or maybe contemplating time takes you somewhere else completely. I hope you enjoy this week’s challenge.

“Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible” Stephen Hawking

Seconds

Heart beating
Time is running out
Only a few seconds left
For the ultimate request
Using a different route
Feels like cheating

Finally reaching
My own hideout
No time for rest
Only doing my best
No time for tryout
Parameter breaching

Safely in my blue box
Punching the clock
Time starts moving
Seconds removing
Going backwards
Against standards

They said
It couldn’t be done
But did I bet
And know I am gone
Back in time
Trying to find
…My future

“Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren’t always good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems.” Billy Joel

The Good Old Times

In the good old times…

Everything was cheaper
The sky was much bluer
The summers were longer
The winters were colder
The children played nicer
The women were prettier
The men more handsome
The songs were chansons
The television shows were better
Complaints were written in letters
The world was wider
Everyone drank cider

And over all…
Everyone had more fun

In the good old times!

Cozy, comfy, homey

The view today snowy
The wind outside blowy
Staying inside,
Without a sorry

“It’s snowing outside”

She loudly out cried
When through the window eyed
But then, with one quick stride
Without even a good-bye
And to everyone’s surprise
She was gone like a spy
Out into the great wild
Also known as the outside

Bright, colourful, electric
In this home of eccentrics
Is it just a piece of technic
Or something quite poetic?

Leaving a soft glow
Trying to follow the flow
With a pace set as slow
