“Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.” Stephen Hawking

The Truth Is Out There

In
My Mind

Science Fiction
Science Fact
Utopia

The Earth
The Planets
The Stars

In
My Mind

A Galaxy
The Milky Way
The Cosmos

The Universe
The Intergalactic Space
A Void

In
My Mind

A Wormhole
A Black hole
A Singularity

Pi
A mathematical constant
The number 47
A mystery

In
My Mind

Spiraling
With random thoughts
With coherent thoughts

Universes and Worlds
Conjured up and destroyed

In
My Mind

Aliens and
Their spaceships

Humans with
Their flying machines

In the Here
And Now

I am
Peddling
On my Bicycle
The long dark road
A head of Me

The Nerd In Me

Posted on by

Gun Roswell's avatarRantings Of A Third Kind

“Never apologize for being nerdy, because unnerdy people never apologize for being assholes”
John Barrowman

The Nerd In Me

My Glasses,
A band-aid as quick fix
My Teeth
Dental braces for the glitches

I am awkward
Sometimes scared
A social coward
Of everything
and everyone

Over analyzing
Constantly thinking

But
I am also

Stalking you
Admiring you
Too Afraid
to approach you

Standing in the narrow corridor
Staring in awe
From a far
There you are

Suddenly
Walking towards me
I try to hide
No place to run
No where to flee

As you approach
I try to look away
Hoping you won’t notice me
Standing there
I feel the need to pee

Panic attacks
Breath caught
Eyes scanning
Nothing in planning
I am caught

I hear
“There you are!”

Not a word
Escapes my mouth
Standing there
Staring in silence

“Hello”
You say

“Hel- lo”
I try

Stepping closer

Around the World in Black and White Presents: London in the Rain

Posted on by

World Wide Wednesday: Black and White Photography

 

“A bad day in London is still better than a good day anywhere else”

Around the World in Black and White Presents: London in the Rain

Rain, rain, rain
Running down the drain
Around in the City of London
Without the feeling of boredom
Too many things to see
Face lit up with a glee
Never mind the sad bad weather
My skin is made of thick leather
A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

Reflections

Posted on by

Poetry and Photography

“No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters” Edgar Degas

Reflections

Reflections on the glass
May be too hard to pass
Imagination running rampant
Trying to catch a fragment
Of the alternate universe
A life on the reverse
A mirror image
A line of scrimmage
Aren’t you too curious
Of what ever glorious
Adventures lie ahead

SL-WEEK 9: School

Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

 

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”Albert Einstein

SL-WEEK 9: School

On our way to school
Like any good kid should

But

Hope nobody noticed
We went into hiding instead

Today we are playing hookey
Eating all the cookies

While everyone else is away

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – DIVERGENT

Posted on by

Photography and Poetry, Photo Challenge, Camera Lucida, Week 8

 

“Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it” Veronica Roth, Divergent

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – DIVERGENT

First I was broken
Unable to walk, run or dance
Putting on high heels
Next to impossible

Now it feels
More and more possible
For a second chance
And the world wide open

broken

Don’t blame it on the rain

Posted on by

Photography and Poetry

“Don’t take your toys inside just because it’s raining” Cher

Don’t blame it on the rain

When it rains, it pours
Thunder and lightning
Can be oh so frightning
But don’t run indoors
Yourself into hiding
It can be fun outside
Even if you won’t stay dried
It may be raining
But nothing staining
Just enjoy the ride

Last Days of Summer

Photography and Poetry

Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile DeGodoy

“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins

Last Days of Summer

The end of August
Time to adjust
To the coming of Fall
No use trying to stall
The cold and rain
Will soon gain
The sun rays are few
Feelings of blue
Until the foliage
In multiple colours
Will brighten the days
Get you out of the haze
And life is bright
Once more

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 35 Wrap up

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 35 Wrap up

The Photo Rehab is a great community to share photos, learn new techniques, discover new talents, and connect.

In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.

Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week:

Week 35: Wrap up 

Also featured Rantings Of A Third Kind with Last Days of Summer

“Gunr Roswell from Rantings of a Third Kind brings poetry this week matched with stunning monochromes to interpret the (likely) common feeling of the approaching end of summer in the Northern hemisphere.”
