Poetry of Everything
“Travel like Ghandi, with simple clothes, open eyes and an uncluttered mind.” Rick Steves
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Mallorca, Part Four, Night
The evening filled
With colourful lights
Cool wind chilled
Time to head inside
The Aquarium a choice
Listening to sealife’s voice
Sharks swimming in tanks
Where a ship had sank
Luminescent jellyfish
But not served as a dish
Enjoying the night life
Of this little town in south

“I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday” Jack Warner
Just another Tuesday
Early wake up call
Sets the rolling of the ball
Day is about to begin
Also for this Finn
Driving into traffic
Nothing too terrific
Reaching the office
Exchanging a little gossip
And having a mild smirk
Before diving into work
When the lunch bell tolls
It is time to haul
That rigid body for a break
And knock out the aches
Leave that work console
Go on a little stroll
Down by the pier
The sunlight revere
Survey your surroundings
Before returning to the boundaries
Of the office

“There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope” Bernard Williams
Sunrise, Blue Skies
Early morning crisp
The wind but a soft whisp
Sky of the brightest blue
Presenting the greatest view
Sunlight’s reflections of red
Painted across the shed
The night’s icy reminder
Glittering on the ground
Soon the day much kinder
And a feeling more profound
In honour of The Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2015
“Once I overcame breast cancer, I wasn’t afraid of anything anymore” Melissa Etheridge
No Bra Day; Set your Tata’s free
Boobs, Mounds, Titties, Cha-chas
Hooters, Globes, Bosom, Tatas
What a stigmata
Even a few sonatas
Written for the female breasts
That tantalizing heaving chest
But today is a reminder
That they kind of
Have a limited warranty
Which comes with a guarantee
For a regular maintenance cycle
Because this is one product
You cannot recycle
So with that knowlegde
Schedule your appointment
To avoid any unnecessary ointments
Let’s all celebrate today
With a great big hooray
Your face in an impish glee
Set your Tata’s free
Just for today

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday
“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill
Mundane Monday
Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

“No spring nor summer’s beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face…” John Donne
October Sunrise
… The longer you stare
Into the bright glare
The red gets in control
Devouring the sky whole

As I have seen in one Autumnal face…” John Donne
October Sunrise
Sunrise, higher than high
In the early October sky
Over the morning clouds
The sun has spread its shroud
Blues and reds playing in a mix
Eyes staring completely transfixed
The cool crisp air caressing
Almost feels like singing…

“Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance” Carl Sandburg
Leaves of October
The leaves of colour
Soon but shadows
Slowly fading away
In the October rain
Autumn leaves
Falling down
From the trees
On to the ground
The winds are soon
But a silent whisper
As the leaves bloom
Out of existence

“When walking through the ‘valley of shadows,’ remember, a shadow is cast by a Light” Austin O’Malley
Shadow Play in October Part Two
The October sun’s shadows
Casting tall and narrow
The darkened figures
Painting abstract pictures
Onto every surface
Carefully you listen
But the only sound
Is the soft whistle
Of the Autumn leaves
Landing on the ground
