Last Days of Summer

Photography and Poetry

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

 

“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

Fabulous Friday

“If you must have motivation, think of your paycheck on Friday” Noel Coward

Fabulous Friday

Forget the slaving
Time for some playing
And maybe even
A little misbehavin’

The weekend
Has just begun
Time to have some
Long awaited fun

The day of days
Has finally arrived
Get down and jive
For Fabulous Friday!

Homage to Amanda Tapping, Happy 50th Birthday!

“I’ve always found that sci-fi fans are unbelievably generous” Amanda Tapping

Homage to Amanda Tapping, Happy 50th Birthday!

Blonde or brunette
Appearing on my TV set
Mainly the brainy one
But still, lots of fun
Stargate or Sanctuary
Quite the imaginary
Outwitted MacGyver
For that a high fiver
Actor, Director, Producer
You really are no looser
Activist and plain ol’ Mom
You still da bomb

Happy Fiftieth Birthday!

Stalking is such a Strong Word. Let’s call it… Social Research!

Checking your home page
For the umpteenth time
I must have been in a haste
For no updates I find

Just because
My favourites
Are in the ‘Ks’
And my followers
Are in the nays

You may think
I stink
And am
A

Stalker?
Prowler?
Fan Girl?
Just because my toes curl?

Admirer maybe
From a far of course
Devote
And the Art to endorse
Buff or a Rooter
But not a suitor

I hope you are not offended
As I await here expended
And I’d rather
You called me an other

Name,
Without the blame

A
Researcher
of the Individual

Now,
Why did you not
Answer on the spot
To my ping?

“Maybe I’m a serial regional writer. First here, then there, across the map”
Richard Ford

Serially Found

There is just
somehting about you
I am in lust
And only for you

I am finding it impossible
to stay away
Highly improbable
Anything would keep me at bay

I lost you
Luckily
I found you

My little bit of Heaven
By sweet sweet
I am up to seven
My one and only treat

My sweet chocolate bar
In a serial package
You didn’t venture too far
When I was tracking

“Very curious, very curious,” said Passepartout to himself, on returning to the steamer. “I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new.”

The island of beauty
Come take a trip with me

SL-WEEK 8 : On the Road

POETRY AND PHOTOGRAPHY

Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY 

“People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish… but that’s only if it’s done properly” Banksy, Wall and Piece

SL-WEEK 8 : On the Road

“We here in France we have a habit of putting art everywhere…So this week show us the road art, urban art, art alibi!”

No use crying
Over spilled chalk
All over the side walk
It was worth trying
It may not be art
But, just as smart
Making people smile
As they walk on by
