In honour of Caturday, for all Cats
“Time spent with cats is never wasted” Sigmund Freud
Caturday 2015-10-10
Happy with my kitty
So I wrote this little ditty
Why don’t you sing along
To the tune of this familiar song
Soft kitty, warm kitty
Purring on my lap
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty
Why don’t I too take a nap
My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer

“When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.” George R.R. Martin
Friday, Sunset in Suburbia, Prequel
Waiting, impatiently
Holding my position
By the window
Nothing moves
No other sounds heard
But the clicking
Of my camera
Rehearsing for
The main event
I am fully prepared
For the sunset…

“When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.” George R.R. Martin
Friday, Sunset in Suburbia
Sitting at the window
In my little house
In deepest of suburbia
Watching the clouds
As they pass by
The sun slowly setting
Disappearing behind
The tall buildings
I keep on clicking
Capturing the turn
Of the brightest day
Into the darkest of nights
Homage to Sigourney Weaver
“It’s such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out” Sigourney Weaver
Homage to Sigourney Weaver, Happy Birthday
Titillating, luscious, sexy
Statuesque, stately, leggy
Just a few adjectives to describe
An actress quite divine
Drama, comedy, horror
Sometimes even the explorer
Quite the knack for science fiction
Up to the point of fans’ addiction
The queen of all queens
Our one and only Sci-Fi Queen
On this day of celebration
Thanking you for your dedication
What more is there to say
But a very Happy Birthday

Taking a ride on a train
On this island of Spain
Driving down a narrow lane
Watching the local terrain
Sun is shining, no rain
Sipping on champagne
Feeling very entertained
Passing the mountain chain
And the flattest of plains
There is nothing mundane
About this trip across the domain
“There’s never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same” Carlos Santana
Blue Moment
That silent moment
Between sunset
And complete darkness
The blue moment
Sets, before the sun

“The fallen leaves in the forest seemed to make even the ground glow and burn with light” Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry To Gabriola
October Day in Suburbia
The sun was beckoning
Behind the closed window shades
The outside warm and welcoming
Blue skies and colours splayed
On the tableau drawn by nature
Quite the creator
Of beauty and awe
Almost dropped my jaw
When I stepped outside
And stared with pride

“Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance” Carl Sandburg
Leaves of October
The leaves of colour
Soon but shadows
Slowly fading away
In the October rain
Autumn leaves
Falling down
From the trees
On to the ground
The winds are soon
But a silent whisper
As the leaves bloom
Out of existence

“When walking through the ‘valley of shadows,’ remember, a shadow is cast by a Light” Austin O’Malley
Shadow Play in October Part Two
The October sun’s shadows
Casting tall and narrow
The darkened figures
Painting abstract pictures
Onto every surface
Carefully you listen
But the only sound
Is the soft whistle
Of the Autumn leaves
Landing on the ground
