7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day Two: Sailing

The sun on my back
The wind in my sails
The gentle tap
Against the rails

This is…
Heaven

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

“I’m Dr. Rodney McKay, alright? Difficult takes a few seconds; impossible, a few minutes.”

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

Horror made worth the Hammer
But really a computer programmer
McKay, the Science Guy
In Pegasus a Puddle Jumper will fly
And always getting the final word
Apparently a real life nerd
When playing at the gaming console
Reaching for the ultimate goal

But before I get all side tracked
Let’s get this thing cracked
We’re almost out of time
Adding some Time Lords just to rhyme

Need for paraphrasing “the other” franchise
Oh’ other fans, little me do not chastise!
So without further ado:
Live long and prosper Mr Hewlett!

(Hey, that last part did not rhyme!
So? I am only a writer on a dime!)

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’ ” Robin Williams

Yellow Little Things of Spring (Daily Photo) 

Something very weird:
Snow has but disappeared
Warm breeze passes in the air
Without warm clothing able to fare

What is this peculiar feeling
Do I need to fear?

But no problem!
It’s spring time, which is finally here!

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” Rabindranath Tagore

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day One: On the Rocks

Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing

Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip

Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim

After all, it is Spring Time!

“Welcome to the dark side”

Dark Side of the Odd (Mundane Monday)

There in the corner it stood
Like something from the tales of the odd
Or maybe, it was just misunderstood

The Sun: Daily Photo

It should be no surprise
The sun will always rise
Despite the cloudy skies

Enjoy it while it lasts
The day will soon pass
And the night will fall fast

Candlelight (SL-WEEK)

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Candle
Poetry & Photography

“If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago” Oma Desala

Candlelight (SL-WEEK)

The clock strikes close to midnight
Basking in the glow of the candlelight
Staring into the fire’s might
Conjuring up images on what to write
After all, this is the nightly rite
And the eternal fight
For a writer, up in the late hours of the night

A Seat fit for a Queen (Seat Sunday)

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein

A Seat fit for a Queen

A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

Good things come in Twos (Daily Photo)

Am I seeing double?
Does it mean I am in trouble?
Houston, this is Hubble,
We seem to be in trouble!

“I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike” Queen

Ride a Bike (Daily Photo)

Ride, ride, ride your bike
A bicycle or a trike
What ever distance you like
Feelings of a childlike
Life passing by a dreamlike
When you are riding, your bike
