“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast” Charles Dickens
Contrasts, Two
Enjoyed the fall
On many a stroll
At the door
Winter is knocking
With white
Everything blocking

“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast” Charles Dickens
Contrasts, One
Black on blue
The Autumn is due
For turning of Winter
Like a splinter
In your index finger…
In honour of the month of November and Thanksgiving Day

Holiday Celebration
“Thank you consists of just eight letters that form two of the most meaningful words in the English vocabulary” Doborah Norville
Giving Thanks
Give a little
Take a little
Put a little back
Be thankful for what
You already have
Meanwhile
You’ll never know
When the opportunities
Come a knocking
On your door
So a very
Happy Thanksgiving
To one
And All
“Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder” Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Boxing Match
The gloves are on
The arena awaits you
From the illusion of winning
Your head is spinning
The chanting getting louder
You’re feeling prouder
The plan was a clean fight
No hitting below the belt
The deal fitting your own self
No more time for flight
The crowd is cheering
You are leering
At the ding of the gong
The fight is on
Dancing around
Pulling punches
No one going down
The referee announces
No one is winning
It is time
To up the ante
The gloves come off
The game now on
You start to scoff
Your mind’s set only on the con
Spitting out words of slander
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
Hair being torn
Nails like thorns
Feeling the scorn
Scratching, screaming
Ending only in
Real blood and tearing
No one is winning
It is time
For plan C
“Screw you guys, I’m going home!” Eric Cartman
What Ever!
You were smiling
Feeling charming
And quite beguiling
The sun was shining
This was supposed to be
A great day
For a song or a play
But then it turned out to be
Something else completely
It turned out to be
One of *those days*
Struck you in the face
Run over like a ten ton truck
And disappear without a trace
What the fuck?
Feeling like a schmuck
Completely out of luck
Standing in the rain
Without an umbrella
Almost going insane
And not from singing a cappella
So I say “What ever!”
And take my leave
Writing 101, Day Seventeen, A map as your muse
“Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise” Christopher Columbus
“X” marks the Spot
Looking for the pirate’s treasure
Nothing really can measure
The excitement and pleasure
And the feelings of pressure
An adventure for a lifetime
A tale before bedtime
A passage through time
When you finally reach
That one specific beach
And the day you siege
It is time to do as you preach
The treasure you found
Was right on the ground
What was once lost
Is now once more found
If you want to know
Come on, I will show
Your mind it will blow
But let’s take it slow
Maybe you were blind
But, look and you shall find
Finally without a strife
Only with, the purpose of life
After all
The X always marks the spot!

Tired Tuesday?
Keeping darkness at bay
Light snow in the early morning hours
Maybe later some hail and rain showers

Mundane Monday?
No, not today
Snow, snow and then some
What more is yet to come?
