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!!!”

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!”

Red Light on Monday

Don’t run
Against the red light
You might
Get a sight
If the coppers
Are watching
In their choppers!

Sunshine on Monday

Look, who decided to show up
And here I was starting
To get all wound up!

Quickly, up from the tub
Grab my favourite cup
And outside,
With a huff and puff
I go
And none too slow!

Before, that is,
My favourite show
On TV is up!

Rain on Monday

The snail’s predictions
Done, with convictions
Brought us destruction
With a set of storm and rain
Falling heavily,
Onto, the open plane

Dark Clouds on Monday

Ominous and eerie
Even though, in theory
It was still summer

Feelings of weary
Vision getting blurry
Starting to worry
As the weather
Was getting glummer

“The cars we drive say a lot about us” Alexandra Paul

Drive for The Daily Post

They said I couldn’t
You said I shouldn’t
I thought I wouldn’t

But, now
Fading spots I see
In the rear view mirror
As my car and me
Down the road terror
Plough

Finally
Here I am
Where ever this is
Easily
I did drive
So do give me
A high five

Seat Sunday (2016-07-17)

Photography /Poetry /Humour /Tale

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years” Frank Lampard

Seat Sunday

I have followed the yellow brick road
And it led me to this humble abode
Surrounded by a picket fence
And a green grass oh so dense

Now I am stationed here for all eternity
The yellow bricks stacked behind me
Grass growing tall, reaching to infinity
The inhabitants enjoying me occasionally

Maybe this is the place I will settle
And every day brew me tea in a kettle
I may be made out of wood and metal
But I can be quite sentimental

I am a special bench
Possibly made by the French
Sometimes in the drain I drench
Still, I am quite the mensch 😉

“Snail, snail,
Show me your horns,
Will there tomorrow,
Be a storm”
– Finnish adage

Snail for The Daily Post

Little slimey snail
Brought by a gail
Now stuck in this tale
Onto my windowsill

I though you were a hale
Of the size of a whale
But you seem quite frail
Dragging your tall tail

I tried to snap a picture
But you were way too fast
Now into this scripture
Your tall tale will last
