BACK TO PART ONE OF TREASURE HUNTERS

“There is more treasure in books, than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island”

The Treasure Hunters, Part Two

I started slowly walking towards the ship. It would be my best option to get more info on what was going on. Just hoping these people, who ever they were, would be the friendly sort.

“Ahoy there!” I shouted and waved my hand as I approached the crew of the ship.

Who obviously was the Captain and the two crewmen standing beside him, turned and looked at me. They then looked at each other, obviously surprised of my presence.

“Who are you and where do you come from lad?” The Captain asked me.

‘Lad?’ I must have also changed appearance and sex since my transportation or teleportation or what ever it was that got me here in the first place. I was thoughtful and tried…

Dark Shadows

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow” Helen Keller

Dark Shadows

The sky filled with darkness
The cast shadows seem harmless
The calm before the storm
Everything soon to transform
The rain and thunder soon to follow
The earth and skies swallowed
By nature’s display of power
No need to feel sour
Soon the sun will shine again
And the bad weather will be slain

The Gun Method (or my way of working)

Posted on by

“Call me crazy, but… well, most people do” Gun Roswell

The Gun Method (or my way of working)

Never concentrating
On just one thing
Or maybe just aiming
For that perfect swing

Even writing this one tale
Ended up with three instead
Call it a sort of a sale
Following several threads
Or just let the mind roam free
And after reading
Maybe you can also agree

It is not just a fable
That’s why I am able
To accomplish everything
And nothing

Dark Side of the Moon

“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls” George Carlin

Dark Side of the Moon

If you are howling at the moon
You know it’s not twelve in the noon
Maybe doing a little dance
Around the garden in the nude prance
Paying homage to the big white ball in the sky
Whether down on the ground or up high
Some of us are more night people than others
If you think someone it bothers
Just tell them never mind, be kind
Let out a big smile
Tell them no tall tails
And if all else fails
Moon them!

Ode to Dame Helen Mirren, Happy 70th Birthday!

Posted on by

An homage to Dame Helen Mirren

All Hail the Queen!
Happy 70th Birthday to the glorious, sexy, sensational, and über-talented Dame Helen Mirren!

“I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous” Helen Mirren

Ode to Dame Helen Mirren

The star of everything that matters
Stating this not just for the sake of flatters
The Queen, the Chief Inspector, a tart
Playing them all with very much smart

She is definitely not a prude
When prancing in the nude
Not afraid to speak her mind
Even if it meant to be a little unkind

A naughty word here and there
To make her point, if you weren’t clear
Pure perfection of talent and beauty
Always with the sense of duty

A rose by any other name
Let’s all hail to our Dame

Fire in the Sky

“A cloudless plain blue sky is like a flowerless garden” Terri Guillemet

Fire in the Sky

When the clock struck seven
High up in the heavens
The white, blue and yellow
Happily mixed together
Looking up at the skies
The vision burning my eyes
Painted in the colour red
Like the Almighty had bled
The horizon in full flame
Watching the complete frame
The sky was on fire

Camera Lucida Photo Challenge: The Respite

Camera Lucida Photo Challenge

Week Three: This week’s theme: The Park Bench

2015-07-05-0_fotor1-1

 

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte

The Respite

Don’t be afraid
Please, sit down
I may look a little dreary
But it’s nice here in the shade
Surely you must be weary
From your stroll around town
I may not be the perfect sight
But before you scoff
Just take a load off
I promise not to bite

Ode to My Family, Photography and Poetry

Photography and Poetry

“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”

Ode to My Family

Can’t live with them
Can’t live with them
That is really all that can be said
Rather than whining, I wrote this ode instead

I would like to put them in a box
And take them out when ever needed
But there is a warning to be headed
They really are quite crazy
Maybe a little hazy
And cunning like the fox
The may not be my kind of crazy
But they are still family
Even though scattered all over
Like a five leaf clover
I still have the luxury
Maybe even compulsory
To keep in touch with them
Thank Goodness for such gems
As Instagram and Facebook
Now we are all hooked

So without resistance
Lets enjoy the distance
No just kidding
I love you guys!

Being a Red Shirt is never easy

Wearing a red shirt
Feeling like about to get hurt
The target is painted on my back
No time for sleep or a snack
I know I am not really cherished
And quite soon to be perished

I am the Queen of Fucking Everything

queen

Who am I?
You dare to ask me?
Or are you playing shy?
Or do you task me?
Do you not know who I am?
