Crete revisited 

Taking a nostalgic trip, to re-visit forgotten places
Which mind and memory, long since have replaced
With images stored, in an album, never browsed
Despite all the effort, made promises and vows

So now, here I am, sailing across the seven seas
Letting my mind at ease, for carrying all the keys
Unlocking, and bringing forth, all those memories
Names, places, even faces, coming out of stasis

As the ship the designated harbour reaches
Looking forward to those sandy beaches
Clear waters, sea otters, dolphins and other creatures
As they all on the postcards were featured

When the captain let out a shout: “Land ahoy!”
I knew, this was not a dream nor a decoy
I had finally landed, as per trip advisory had planned it
Starting my trip, quite nostalgic

“A horror story waiting to happen” Gun Roswell

Monday, again

it is once again, monday
that ever hated day
when joe and jane average
turn to the weekly slaves
back to the coal mines and daily grind
only dreaming, of free time

so monday
why cant you stay away
we would forever
be grateful and avoid the fever

Green with envy

Opposite sits the other, green
Envy, hate, anger, never saying one word
Flowers in pots, soothing atmosphere

Cats, Dogs and Ladies 

Cats, dogs and ladies
All live under the same roof
A gentle mix of meows and woofs
Added with some ifs, buts and maybes

           caturday-3    caturday-4

A playful sparring match
For the appetite to catch
Before dinner time calls
And they arrive on all fours

caturday-2

What we can all agree upon
Is a comfortable seat to cuddle on
All gathering into the same spot
All together tight as a knot

Favourite Photo Of the Week

On the way to Peru
Or possibly Katmandu
Onto a side track we flew

Soon enough, in a locale new
With a cloudy blue hue
And a gorgeous mountain view

To boldly go where no Woman has gone before

…As the flight progresses
I feel less stressed
What ever awaits me
It only can be
Something wonderful
And most magical

To boldly go
Where no
Woman
Where no one
Has gone
Before

“It’s creeping up on me again, Monday!” Gun Roswell

Monday

monday!
f***ing monday!
oh, how i loath thee
you always arrive
with a substantial fee
it should be
so clear to me
but i never seem, to see
how this day
always, creeps up, on me

Sunday Afternoon

Waiting, never ending, on Sunday
Midday sun, a bus stop, empty seats
Several hours later, no ride

The Dame and the White Cat

The dame with her white cat
Stepped in for a quick chat
Sat down and whisked off her hat
Ordered a coffee with milk non-fat

“Good evening dearie”
She said leering
“Nice weather we are having this evening”

That was all she said
Her conversation dropping dead
Just quietly sipping the beverage
As if looking for a leverage

I stood there staring
The silence more than unbearing
Wondering ‘what or who was this stranger
Were we all in danger?’

As if reading my mind
The lady put down the cup
And finally looked up
And with smile made of kind

She stated matter of factually
“I need more cats!”
As ipso facto, this was actually
A store, where one could purchase such things

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
