“Haven’t you felt a peculiar sort of worry about the chair in your living room that no one sits in?”
Nicholson Baker

A Seat Poolside

poolside-1b

Poolside
It cannot be denied
The best seats in the house
So bring your friends and spouse

Sitting by the turquoise liquid
Can be very addictive
No mere alcohol
Can make you fall
Like the blue waters
Without any borders
Sitting poolside
With a thin wall to divide

“Like cats and dogs they say,
When the two mixed are at play”

Caturday: Mr Diesel with Vänster the Cat 

Feeling my pockets
My eyes almost popping out of their sockets
I felt the burning notes
In the pockets of my coat

“Fine, deal me in”
I said
Feeling the heat on my cheeks and chin
As the cards were laid
And I knew I would either get paid
Or loose my shirt off!

Caturday: Mr Diesel with Vänster the Cat 

Looking straight at me
Two sets of eyes pinned to see
“If you brought money
Then honey
Take a seat
And let’s see, who’s defeat
This game will be”
The dog told poor little me

Trust me,” Said Mr. Diesel
“This is not a work of a weasel,
But a real game
To light up the flames”

“Yes, the money is also very real,”
Retorted the Vänster
“And we are playing for keeps
Hope you have nothing against it!”

Caturday: Mr Diesel with Vänster the Cat 

“I was just wondering
Out loud to myself pondering
With eyes smoldering
Because of this thick fog
As you two, a cat and a dog
Are creating all this smoke
Maybe I’m in the middle of a joke
Played for pun
Just for someone’s fun”

Mr Diesel and Vänster the Cat
Caught, playing a game of blackjack
“What are you looking at”
The two caught in the act
Stated out like a matter of fact

Autumn Days for Daily Photo

“There is a time in the last few days of summer when the ripeness of autumn fills the air.”
Rudolfo Anaya


In a Coloured Box

Coloured with crayons
Not intended to last long
A bright dot
In a mundane spot
One box of colour
Maybe more will follow?

At Work

“Men at work”
The sign proudly said
But, maybe
They should have invited
Some ladies there instead!

Kardamena Village; here we come! (Two)

Travel Log /Photography /Poetry /Tale /Humour

Kos Island Part 4

“People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.”
– Dagobert D. Runes

Kardamena Village; here we come!

img_3571

As we arrived in the quaint little fishing village, we were greeted by the hustle and bustle of the villagers and tourists alike. Many a shops selling products from near and far. Knickknacks and touristy stuff among local produce, such as sponges and luffas. Wine and Olive Oil but also fine jewelry.

After a busy morning spent in the shops, lunch in the many restaurants by the beach boulevard was a welcome break. After a heavy duty fish related meal, ice coffee with small sugary pasties and then back on the road for a little sightseeing before heading back.

All and all, a day well spent, with plenty of memories accumulated in forms of tale and picture snaps! Definitely something to “instagram” back home 😉

“Good morning campers!
Today we have a special trip booked just for you!”

“Where are we going?”

“Our ship is set to sail, towards the Kos Island and namely, the village of Kardamena.
So hold on to your hats and let the winds be on our backs!”

“Never been there!”

“Me neither: hope they have some coffee there, because I just managed one cup at breakfast!”

“Sure they do: There are many many wonderful cafes by the seashore!”
