“98% of what gets built today is shit” – Frank Gehry
Buildings At Dusk (Daily Photo)
Tall buildings
Simple,
Without gilding
Built from glass
Possibly to last
Piercing the nightly sky
Lit up pretty
And aiming high

“When it rains, it pours”
Rainy Suburbia (Daily Photo)
“Welcome to sunny suburbia!”
They said
“Stay a while, take a load off”
They said
“It’s pretty and white, the sun shining so bright!”
They said
“Bah Humbug!”
I said
Sounded more, like a tall tale
Or urban a legend, set to fail!
As the rain came pouring down
And not a single dry spot could be found
I felt like the sideshow clown
On my face, an permanent painted frown
“Oh, well, when in Rome…”
I thought
Sitting in my recliner
Cozy, lazy and bundled up
Sipping on my warm cider
I held up my cup
Saluted towards the window
For all the daring weirdos
Coming out from their hides
And venturing to cold outside
And I said:
“Cheers!”

“blue, darkly, deeply, beautifully blue” Robert Southey
Blue (Daily Photo)
Blue, bluer, bluest
The moment before darkness
The frozen sea silent
A single light on the island
Soon the night will fall
And into deep slumber
We are all called

“A healthy breakfast might keep you until lunch!”
Breakfast (Daily Photo)
Coffee with milk
With a taste of silk
Cookies made of oats
Into your mouth floats
Better take some notes
A healthy breakfast
Longer will last
At least until
It is time for lunch!

Throwback Thursday 2016-02-04
Each Thursday we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

“The snow doesn’t give a soft white damn whom it touches.” ― E.E. Cummings
Fluffy, Soft, White (Daily Photo 2016-01-10)
Fluffy, soft and white
In the softest of light
Tiny jewels flickering
Waking the slumbering
Into a bright white blossom
In the snow as light as cotton

Odds and Ends
Objet d’art
Or something smart
On the odds and ends
Our time we spend
Without our creature comforts
We might be up the rafters

Take a Load off
A bench of stone, wood or wire
Can get you out of the dire
When feeling spent and tired
Take a load off and enjoy the fire

Feathered Friends
Our feathered friends
The windy air bend
Flying to the world’s end
For their leisure time to spend
