“Before the game is afoot, thou still let’st slip”
William Shakespeare
Game’s aFoot
There is no shame
In playing the game
Trying to court fame
But just remember
Before you go on this bender
You loose some, or you may lose more

“It’s always most calm,
Before the storm”
Gun Roswell
Calm Before the Storm
Before it gets colder, there is always warm
Before it starts raining, the grey clouds will form
Before it gets safer, there is always harm
Before you get to argue, remember, this is the norm
Because,
Where ever there is calm
You will soon find, a storm

“One, Single, Solo”
Gun Roswell
Solo
Flying solo,
Because, of YOLO
Because, someone told you so
Because, you reap what you sow
Is it fun though?
Going, when the wind blows
Going, with the flow
Going, where no one knows
Maybe,
Flying with someone
Could be double the fun
Hitting a that home run…
…Together

“The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.”
—Philip Roth
Who am I?
They call me odd
They call me weird
I say: “off you sod”
I still won’t stop!
Writing, writing, writing
Hard at least trying
Fighting, fighting, fighting
My daily life be damned!
I may be odd
I may be weird
Maybe some day
I will get my pay
For dreaming the impossible
Is it really that unusual?
There may be some obstacles
But in the end, there may be applause
And then
I can call myself

“I wish someone would ask me to design a cathedral”
Philip Johnson
Cathedral for Every Day
If you want to pray
Where ever you may
Or just a while to stay
In a sunny ray
Looking for a cabaree
Or an afternoon matinee
Just enter into
The Cathedral of Every Day
You don’t have to pay
Or even a dragon slay
There is no doorway
Nor any kind of role play
There is no colour grey
Only a colourful array
When you enter
The Cathedral of Every Day

“Blue is not just a colour,
It is also, a life style”
Gun Roswell
Feeling Blue
Blue, is the sky above
Blue, are the waters below
Blue, when I’m feeling alone
Blue, can be a cold hue
Blue, is a beautiful view
Blue, is the colour of my shoes
Blue, fits me like a glove
Blue, I cannot get rid of
Blue, is the colour I love

“How strange this fear of death is!
We are never frightened at a sunset”
George MacDonald
After Sunset
After, the sun has set
It is time, to place the bets
Throw in the dice
Good luck, never hits twice
Who ever, has the luck
Will not, by lighting get struck
Where ever, they may go
Good weather and fortune will follow
Well, the promise of fair weather
Some time spent for leisure
Maybe a promotion or two
If not, good luck
Trying the dice, to sue!

“There are some days when I think
I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction”
Salvador Dali
Overdose
It was just a simple overdose
A mass of a size of bordering gross
They should have just given hit me with a hose
Burning up was oh so very close…
The final diagnose:
Too much sun on a scorching day
Will not keep the nurses or doctors away

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself,
than be crowded on a velvet cushion”
Henry David Thoreau
Crowded
Two is a company
Three is huge a crowd
Four is just lucky
Five or more is very loud
Feeling crowded
Sometimes compounded
Oh for crying out loud
This really is a crowd!

“If you go anywhere,
even paradise,
you will miss your home”
Malala Yousafzai
Paradise Found
It was just covered with frost
In the end of a very long autumn
This was what it cost
To get back from the bottom
Paradise,
It was never lost
It was, just forgotten
