A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of; Transparency
“Eyes so transparent that through them the soul is seen” Theophile Gautier
Transparency, Parts One to Eight
Transparent?
Or quite apparent?
Crystal clear?
Or so did I hear

Transparency, Parts One to Eight
Transparent?
Or quite apparent?
Crystal clear?
Or so did I hear
See-through
Peek a boo!
Thin and filmy
Feelings of silky
Translucent
But very potent
Gauzy?
Clearly not mossy
Lucid and sheer
Starting to disappear

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Love, Amour

Writing 101, Day 19: Feature a guest
An homage to my dear sister and her one true love

“Love isn’t always as straight and narrow as you’d like to think” Gun Roswell
Amore
Oh L’amour
The word itself, pure glamour
Love
If it fits like a glove
Like the two proverbial doves
On a branch busy at tweet
Generating more heat
Than a red glowing stove
Love knows no gender
Love knows no age
Love is always tender
Love knows no hate

Me and My Shadow, Repost
Celebrating an anniversary; A thirty years’ journey with my Partner in Crime
“Just remember if we get caught, you’re deaf and I don’t speak English”
Me and My Shadow
It was nineteen eighty-five
When I hitched a ride
Ever since that time
We have been tied
Like sugar and spice
Abbott and Costello
And what have you
I am still quite amazed
And feeling totally graced
That someone would stare at my face
For thirty odd years straight
So thanks for all this time, sweetheart
Lets try to make it to the next part
And add another thirty to the cart
After all the most important thing
Which makes you want to sing
It’s good to have that one person
Who will support you without a reason
No matter how serious
Or delirious
Life gets
I will bet
You will still be the one
Who I can rely on
To go absolutely
And completely
Bonkers with
Ain’t that a hit!

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of “Bleu Blanc Rouge“
SL-WEEK 20: Bleu Blanc Rouge
In honour of the brave French people and to their courage to keep on living
“Don’t pray for Paris, Be Free !”
Tricolour
Bleu Blanc Rouge
No time to sing the blues
It is the time to choose
Freedom
Blue, White, Red
The colours for which
So many have bled
Freedom
The three coloured symbol
In its presence we feel humble
Even though very simple
We can only think of
Freedom

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Monument
SL-WEEK 19: Monument
The Erechtheion temple priestesses, Acropolis, Athens, Greece
Four ladies of the temple
Each other do they resemble
The guardians on the porch
Standing tall with their torch
In this place of worship
For the Greeks of ancient

SL-WEEK 19: Monument
Charioteer of Delphi, Delphi, Greece
The boy with a chariot
With a look so serious
Horses as beasts of burden
He may be a rich man’s servant
But driving with fervency
Loving his chariot passionately

“Because I’m so big, you have to look at me. I think of myself as a monument. But sometimes I like to feel small” Shaquille O’Neal
Havis Amanda
The gorgeous lady
Rising from the sea
Naked as if bathing
Bearing everything
For the eyes to see
Tourists are watching
Cameras are clicking
A true beauty
Reflecting the city
Of Helsinki

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Sunset
“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.” Richard Paul Evans
Sunset in November
The start of November
Surely, it will be a month to remember
Sunsets most gorgeous
Twice now in as many days
Sky painted in various colours
Shape shifting clouds in abundance
Admiring the beauty of nature’s wonders
For a while only, but what seems like hours
