Write More, Complain Less (in TBT)

“Complaining is easy,
writing is hard”
Gun Roswell

Write More, Complain Less

Why do I write?

Simply, because it feels right
If I did not write
The page would be quite white
Therefore, I continue to write

Write more, complain less!

Crete revisited – Water life – Sights a Seeing

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“Travelling can be such fun, unless it’s not” Gun Roswell

Sights a Seeing

Hiking up and down the hills
Always on the look out, for that special thrill
Sometimes, I find what I seek
But other times, it’s just a curious peek

Wonders of nature are the best
But do not the locals underestimate
Many a great details to be found
If you lift up your eyes from the ground

Architecture, tales and history,
May be the most interesting story
But also focus on the scenery
You may come across a mystery

“From a balcony window, reflections from the past” Gun Roswell

Dreams reflected

Looking, like a time warp
Appearing onto the windows, of every house
My dreams bounced all over

Sunday On My Mind

Posted in Sunday

“Sunday is so much better than Monday” Gun Roswell

Sunday On My Mind

Why, is Sunday
Always on my mind?
When the working week starts
And Monday feelings smart
I have Sunday on my mind
If Tuesday brings some fun
Until Wednesday things get done
But enter Thursday
A total loose day
And again, I have Sunday on my mind
Finally Friday arrives
My face all in smiles
Feelings of Sunday on the arise
Quickly passes Saturday
My proverbial Caturday
One more night to sleep
In a slumber so deep
Dreaming, of Sunday
The one day
Always, on my mind
Oh universe, please be so kind
And let it always be, Sunday!

Caturday Haiku

Cat with various stripes smiles
Patrolling its territory large, no one denies
Afterward, nap time awaits winner

Clockwork Apple

“There’s no rule
that says you have to make records constantly,
like clockwork,
to continue being who you are”

Clockwork Apple

The Apple

If you’ve eaten a red apple
A hold of you it will grapple
There is no use to struggle
For the Evil Queen known to few
Has gotten, a tight hold on you

“I’m a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character” – Alfred Hitchcock

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, and a Writer

A writers mind
You may phew
On what you find

Look in,
Carefully

Surprisingly
Lurking
Emerging

Soldier, Sailor,
Rich Man, Poor Man,
Beggar Man, Thief

Peeping Tom, Stalker
Pervert, Prude 
Sister, Brother
Loud Mouth, Mute

Antagonist
Protagonist
Killer, Saviour
Bad behaviour?

Winner, Looser
Coward, Hero
Or simply a Zero?

Storyteller, Liar
Truth teller, Denier

A questionable character?
Or just a clever Actor?
Psychopath,
Or, on a Path?

Writer, Politician, or a Crook?
Did I get you hooked?

Crete revisited – Water life – Gone a Fishing

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“Travelling can be such fun, unless it’s not” Gun Roswell

Gone a Fishing

When the sign says, “Gone fishing”
That means all the bells and whistles that usually ring
Have completely silenced for the afternoon
And the boat is way, way out there in the lagoon

Don’t try to call me on my mobile phone
Do not tempt me with a sweet or a scone
I am completely out of it all for a while
And no matter who says what, I’m doing it in style

Fishing, fishing, ain’t catching a damn thing
But I am singing, grinning and clinging
Onto a hope, for catching a big fish to sell
Or at least, the tallest of tales to everyone to tell

Descending (Mundane Monday)

“A ray of light on a cloudy day” Gun Roswell

Descending

Descending from the heavens above
A ray of hope and light, maybe?
But then, the storm breaks
