Feet on the Ground for SL-Week
As oddly as it may sound
I am quite profound
My feet firmly on the ground
Now that I have found
My shiny red shoes!

Dark Glasses
Can’t stand the flashes
Oh paparazzi be cursed
Because,
I am forced
To wear these dark glasses
Before,
My fifteen minutes of fame
Passes

Rear-view Mirror
Trying to act casual
Trying to act cool
After all,
There is nothing unusual
And nothing, like a fool
Than, in the middle of traffic
Stopping midway
For a quick snap it
After all
This is what all
Self conscious hip people
Do these days!
So snap, snap, snap away
A selfie in progress

Happy Birthday Nephew! for SL-Week 51
“Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Jim
Happy birthday to you.”
The Birthday Boy
“Dig into the cake son”
The father urged
His head turned
As the birthday boy
Was about to enjoy
The much deserved treat
Which was definitely not meat
But a juicy summer’s strawberry tart
Made by mom, straight from the heart

“Happy birthday to you

The Cake
The aroma of the strawberry cake
We all knew, that was not a fake
It was all done for the sake
Of the birthday celebration on this date

Fire in the Sky for SL-Week
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Red Smokey Clouds
Clouds hanging low
Red and thick
The fiery glow
Like a magical trick
The sun is setting
There is no betting
No reading between the lines
If it will rain or shine
Tomorrow

Fire in the Sky for SL-Week
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Fire in the Treeline
The smell of burning wood
Filling the air of the neighbourhood
Ignited by the burning sun
Fires burning until done
Nothing to be done
And nowhere to run…
“Did anyone bring the marshmallows for the roasting then?”

Fire in the Sky for SL-Week
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Sinking Sun
The sinking sun
Creating waves
In the horizon
If you brave
Into the water
Then a daughter
In the kingdom
Of mighty Poseidon
Will be your fortune

“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
The Sky is Falling
“The sky is falling upon us…”
The peasant screamed
As he ran towards the small village
Horrified, like woken from a bad dream
Panting heavily, before the sentence he could finish
“There will be no tomorrow”
The village elder retorted
As he looked into the horizon in sorrow
But hoping for one more day to borrow
As the flaming rays of the sun
Aptly, were the smoking gun
Had painted the skies red
Scaring the villagers under their beds
Sitting on the porch
Lit by a flaming torch
Was a little girl with courage
And eating her porridge
Looking up at the sky
As an evil smile her face passed by
“Oh, you foolish elders
Looking for a coward’s shelter
It’s not the end of the world as we know it
But a nature’s game of wit
No need to go all bananas,
Just relax and try enjoying
The beautiful painting
On the sky’s canvas”

Vintage for SL-Week
“I am more vintage than I am high fashion” Kat Graham
Black and White
Would it be easier
If the world was black and white?
Would it be easier
To distinguish wrong from right?
Instead of fight
Choosing flight?
What if…
Never mind!
It only vintage in my own mind
