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

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor and a Writer

Looking into
A writers mind
You may phew
On what you find

Look in,
Carefully

Surprisingly
Lurking
Emerging

Tinker, Tailor,
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?

A Quick Trip to Paris

The Arc de Triomphe
Certainly got that oomph
In the midst of Place de l’Etoile
Still standing strong and tall
The archaic Goliath
The biggest of the giants
For us tiny mortals to see
We have come to worship thee

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Tree Line

Painted with the finest ink
Added a little hue of pink
The colouring book of nature
Quite a spectacular feature
Across the evening sky

“A chair fit for a Queen and other Ladies too” Gun Roswell

Under the Tree

“Ah, a cool summer’s breeze
I am possibly ready to sneeze
Better sit down on the bench!”

Said the little old wench
As she tightly held her thighs in a clench

Because that damned sneezing
Made her always queasy
And possibly a little uneasy
As to what might start to trickle
She started to giggle

“Oh, hurry up you old fool
And quickly sit down on that damned stool!”

“The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat” Jules Renard

Caturday Poem

I am a tiger cat
Hear me roar!

My furry stripes
I am wearing proud
Sometimes picking a fight
‘Cause I like being loud

But when groomed and fed
And safely resting in bed
I am a cute little kitty
Without any hissy fitty

I am a soft kitty
Hear me purr

Lighthouses
The white houses
Saving lives
Oh, so many times

The Illusion of Multitasking for TBT

“I’m great at multitasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once”

The Illusion of Multitasking

In case you were asking
My answer:
I was multitasking

Procrastinating
Deferring
Until tomorrow
Without a sorrow
Delaying the inevitable
Playing the pivotable
Unproductive
Almost destructive

The illusion
Of accomplishment
Clear as day
In my mind
Everything a play
Nothing accomplished
Nothing adhered
Time is a wasting
That much is clear

It was just the illusion
Of multitasking

A Quick Trip to Paris

Sunrises and sunsets
They never down let
Remember to be quick on your steps
For days surely seem shorter
Maybe from average town, a quarter
Time certainly flies
When in Paris you have arrived

White for Mundane Monday I two

“I’m from Sweden, so I don’t enjoy winter at all; there’s nothing cute about it” Lykke Li

White

Oh winter, oh winter
Don’t think I am bitter
But to be honest
I wish you to be gone-st
I really loved you at first
Now I am dying of thirst
Of a summer that is
So hear me please
And be gone!
