“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” George Eliot
The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part Two
The odds and ends
This theme extends
Another mundane Monday
It’s not just an other week day
But a time for little things
Which much joy will bring

The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part One
An other week started
Living in it full hearted
Caught by the blue moment
In the early morning hours
Much to my enjoyment
It gave me super powers
Working through the days
Enjoying the evening haze
The sunsets and the darkness
With promises
Of a new tomorrow

Another Early Morning Sunrise; A Late Night Sunset
Another Early Morning Sunrise
After the stormy weather and pouring rain
The sun came out to play again
The early October morning, day called Monday
It seems I can start calling it my fun day
A Late Night Sunset
The eve was about to set
I was once again treated
With a another gorgeous sunset
Today, on this Monday
One of the last days of October
An homage to Hillary Rodham Clinton; Many happy returns!
“I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas” Hillary Clinton
Homage to HRC, Happy 68th Birthday!
Having the community’s best at heart
Showing off as smart
Making sure no one left behind
Is nothing but kind
Women’s rights
Gay rights
Equal rights
Everyone’s rights
You may have made a few snafus
But then again, we all do
Still,
I would vote for you
A Woman’s place is on the bridge
Not serving milk from the fridge
Madame President
No better resident
for the White House
“Sure it’s a big job
but I don’t know anyone who can do it better”

“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt” William Allingham
The End of Colour
This is the end of colour
Of the pain and sorrow!
The October rain
Finally came
Lashed down the leaves
Now it’s just heaps
Of gray on the ground
No colour to be found
It is the end of colour

Posted in Travel Words Bench Photo Challenge, the Bench Series
“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf
Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!
Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
Photo101 Rehab, The Clinic: Week 43 Wrap Up
“Last year, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.” Lucile De Godoy
Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week from Lucile’s site:

Also featured Rantings Of A Third Kind:
“Gun from Rantings of a Third Kind made me jealous of her Monday morning sunrise image from her office! No wonder that her photo was featured. If I get this view, I will apply for a job in Finland! ;-)”

“I have metal in my body, so every time I go to an airport, the metal detector goes off” Jesse Ventura
‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – METAL
Silver, copper, rust
Maybe even a little dust
Streetlights built of heavy metal
Into the lift, no need for pedals
Old machines getting a new start
As being cultured objet d’arts
The strongest of coffees
Brewed in a rusted pot
Down the drain the water flows
Where it goes, no one knows

“When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator” Mahatma Gandhi
Another Moon in October
Close to a full moon
It will be here soon
The circle almost complete
The view an utter treat
The white, bright globe
Almost like a strobe
Up, up there high
In the dark night sky

Favourite Photo Of the Week
So many to choose from
I don’t even know
Where they all come from
But I guess it is the how
I am the only one to blame
If some of them gets the fame
This is what I chose this week
Hope it is what you all seek
