“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.” Richard Paul Evans

Sunset in November

The start of November
Surely, it will be a month to remember
Sunsets most gorgeous
Twice now in as many days

Sky painted in various colours
Shape shifting clouds in abundance
Admiring the beauty of nature’s wonders
For a while only, but what seems like hours

THE DAILY POST; TREAT

The Daily Post photo challenge: Treat

“Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that”
Joss Whedon

THE DAILY POST; TREAT

Middle of the day, a lunch date, a little treat
Nothing fancy, it seemed, at first glance
Pancakes, strawberries and whipped cream
But soon enough, the treat made me dance

Lunch Time; Mundane Monday Challenge #31

Lunch time, Office, Espoo, Finland, 2nd of November, 2015

A week full of labour
Still, bearing its fruits

Lunch in the coffee area
No time for feeling inferior

Chums and colleagues take a stance
Together we eat, be merry and laugh
Even time for a wee Monday dance
Of course,
The sweet dessert all the previous enhanced 😛

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Blue Moment

That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…

…A natural true blue

Halloween Night on the Bench

“I must go in. The fog is rising” EMILY ELIZABETH DICKINSON

Halloween Night on the Bench

Surrounded by misty air
Missed the last fare
Sitting on the park bench
Wishing I had worn a trench
The eerie surroundings
Leaving my heart pounding
Not a soul in sight
On this mystical night
Wrapping my coat tighter
My mood getting lighter
I hear some noises
A car approaches
Finally, I have a ride!

“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall” J.R.R. Tolkien

Nightfall, City Lights

The soft coloured city lights
Reflecting on the water
In the darkened nights
Of the month of October

Standing on the pier
No one else is near
Reflecting the day’s events
Before I finally relent

And start my journey home

“Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second” Mattie Stepanek

Last Sunset of October

On my way high, high up
Ever higher
Closer to the sky
On a smooth elevator ride
Up to the 16th floor I fly

From this ocean view
Reserved for only a few
Enjoying the last rays of sun
The last of the sunsets
Of the month of october

Scary Monsters and Super Freaks

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Scary Monsters and Super Freaks

Darkness surrounds me
In every corner do I see
Scary monsters lurking
Soon enough, freaking

Footfalls getting closer
I look over my shoulder
Fight or flight?
Did not even bring a knife

Picking up the pace
Looking for a hiding place
Nothing can be found
I turn around

Standing paralyzed
Totally petrified
Watching helplessly
Facing the enemy

Feeling hopeless
When a dark figure approaches
Huffing and puffing
Its legs scuffing

It stops in front of me
Looking at me, curiosly
Its mouth opening suddenly

“Got a light deary?”

Caturday; A Halloween’s Tale

In honour of Caturday, for all cats everywhere
In honour of Halloween

“When witches go riding and black cats are seen, The moon laughs and whispers, ’tis near halloween”

Caturday; A Halloween’s Tale
Arched-Back-Cat    cat_3_black

The cat hissed
Her tail totally frizzed
The witch loudly laughed
Stirring her brew with the wooden shaft

“Fear not, my furry kitten
It is not you who will be eaten
It is only the humans, who should be scared”
The witch said with an evil glare

For not many knew
Of the secret, reserved only for a few
The powers witches can share
For those really fair

So better be ware
Of all others take good care
A little something for the witches leave
Tonight, on all hallows eve
