“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.”
― Emily Dickinson
Clever Clovers for Daily Photo
Clever clovers green and white
Clever clovers strong and bright
Clever clovers fluffy and light
Enjoy them on green grass
Enjoy them in vase
Enjoy them in a salad mixer
Needless to say
Clever clovers
Are great in any way!

Poetry, Day Eight: Pleasure
From the tantalizing to the satisfyingly sober, have your poem convey a sense of pleasure today. Imbue it with joy, glee, and profound contentment — or, if you wish to keep it dark, write about the lack of or longing for pleasure in your life.
“A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke” Groucho Marx
Pleasure Pool
Turquoise, by the pool
Sunbathing, by the pool
Eating, by the pool
Toasting, by the pool
Grill fest, by the pool
Enjoying life, by the pool

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow” William Shakespeare
Good Night from Suburbia Daily Photo
A good night to One and All!
Wishes,
That the sky on you won’t fall
That the neighbour won’t eat your meatball
That the cat a mouse inside won’t haul
That the kids won’t steal your football
That the computer an update won’t install
And,
That in your dreams you will have a ball
So,
A very good night to One and All!

“A short story is something that you can hold in your mind. You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine” Chuck Palahniuk
Could it be?
Could it be?
Can you see?
Is it true?
Who knew!
So what if it is
This wasn’t a quiz
It’s no one’s biz
If we go to the Ritz
Never mind
I’ll be fine
I got a dime
Let it chime
Out on the street
Dancing to the beat
Life oh so sweet
Oh what a treat
The lesson learnt
Don’t get burnt
Even if you weren’t
Dance ’till you aren’t

The White Cat in a Hat
The little white cat
With a black hat
Was taking a nap
On the kitchen mat
Her tail all curled
As she softly purred
Oblivious to the world
As it around her whirled
Something made her stir
Looking up with a stare
Straight up stood her fur
As she took off in a blur
The hat off tore
Landed on the floor
The cat was out the door
Heard was a loud roar

Once there was a Man
Once there was a man
Who did not understand
That the greatest of plans
Was already in his hands
So he went around town
Looking for his crown
His face in a big frown
Feelings of letting down
But when he saw a beggar
With the biggest smile ever
He suddenly turned around
And his smile finally found

Day Nine: “Double” — Rotate Your Image
Your twin sisters. Your neighbor’s two poodles. Your vision during a dizzy spell. Your doppelgänger. Double can be interpreted in many ways.
Two for the Double (WP Developing Your Eye II)
“I think I am seeing… double!!!”
Thorns by the Double
What do I spy
With my own little eye?
Thorns of plenty
Maybe even deadly
Someone call Wendy
She’ll be,
Green with envy

“I think I am seeing… double!!!”
Swans by the Double
What do I spy
With my own little eye?
Gliding on the waters
No, not sea-otters
Oh, my ears are ringing
Because
Two swans a singing
And a fly
In an apple tree

“LinkedIn is for the people you know. Facebook is for the people you used to know. Twitter is for people you want to know”
Hashtag Hell
“Welcome
to hashtag hell”
She said and into the pit fell
“Yes, that is brimstone you smell
Do not on the what ifs dwell
You are here yourself to sell
Awarded, if you do it well!”
She added
“Otherwise
Your demise
Will be,
Quite precise
And, you’ll become
The one
You despise!”
And with an evil laugh,
She was gone

Mundane Monday
“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles.” Deborah Norville
Abandoned on Monday
“No buses today”
“Why?”
“Because, it’s Monday”
“So, I am just supposed to stay?”
“Well, you stay and play,
Or call for a taxi
And a higher fee pay!”
“What if I simply pray?”
“No use,
The buses won’t come today”
“Why?”
“Because, it’s Monday!”
