A Bench at the Beach-1

“If you’re not bringing anything to the table, give up your seat”

A Bench at the Beach (Seat Sunday 2016-01-31)

Looking for my favourite spot
The one I prefer for break times
Buried under snow it seems
Workings of a wintry plot!

Snow aside,
I really don’t mind
Sitting down for a few
Enjoying the silent view
Before the evening
Sun sets

“I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it” Albert Einstein

Moon (Daily Photo)

As I am spotting the night trains passing by
I notice a round white ball in the black sky
In my mind’s eye, trying to reach high
But I just stumble, my aim gone awry

Reaching for the moon
Like it was a gold doubloon
Expecting everything to come soon
Will only lead to one’s doom

Tea Time: Happy National Tea Month!

Happy National Tea Month!

Hearts’ Favorite Drink - Black Tea

“Make it so!” Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Tea Time!

Tea, hot, with a twist of lemon
Maybe enjoyed even in Bremen
The delightful aroma
Can lull you to a coma
In company or solitude
It is a prelude
To a life’s passion
A sweet sensation
When into the dark liquid dipping
Whether gulping or sipping
Enjoy the moment of pure bliss
For who could resist
Tea time

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot: Happy National Tea Month!

Happy National Tea Month!

“Enjoy life sip by sip, not gulp by gulp” The Minister of Leaves, The Republic of Tea

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

Slow down
Listen
To the world
Around
Forget
That strife
Just Enjoy
Without a ploy
The simple pleasures,
Purest treasures
Of life

A cup of tea,
Plain and simple
Easy as
Your A, B, C
Soon you’ll see
A dimple
On your cheek
Will sneak

Breathe in
Breathe out
Relinquish
All doubt
Nothing to it
You can do it
Relax a while
It is no guile

Soon enough
The moment
That should have
Forever lasted
Has passed
You are back
On track

Remembering,
Hoping
The moments
Between now
And running out
To the
wide open
Would last
Longer than
A token

Orange (SL Week 30), Three

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Orange

“An orange on the table, your dress on the rug, and you in my bed, sweet present of the present, cool of night, warmth of my life” Jacques Prevert

Orange, Three

Stop for a while
Take a seat on a bench
Have some food
For a thought
Drink some coffee
For going on
You need to stay strong
Orange is the colour
You had best to follow

“Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window” Steve Wozniak

Window View 

In the early morning hours
As I am jumping into my car
I look out the window
Only to find the moon
Brightening my path

IMG_20160129_082241

Arriving at the office
To an early morning meeting
I left without eating
So just coffee must do
As I listen to the others
Playing their part
In this life we know as office

IMG_20160129_090911

I let my eyes wander
Towards the closest window
Only to find
A most beautiful sunrise
Sky painted red
But here inside instead
The only view for me
Is through the peephole
Known as a window
But oh, what a view

keep calm, soft kitty

“You know, from my point of view, I’m the luckiest cat on the planet” Hugh Hefner

Caturday, 2015-11-07

The cat in the mirror
The sleek feline figure
Eyes blue as sapphire
Her spirit filled with fire
Herself does she admire
