Seaside (TBT)

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall,
yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea” Mikhail Lermontov

Seaside

In the far away land
Where ever your camera pans
Seashores covered with sand
Mountains tall will stand
The bluest of seas command
What could be more grand

On the Rocks (TBT)

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water”
Rabindranath Tagore

On the Rocks

Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing

Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip

Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim

After all, it is Spring Time!

Sailing (TBT)

“Sailing, sailing, over the Bounty Bay”

Sailing

The sun on my back
The wind in my sails
The gentle tap
Against the rails

This is…
Heaven

Lights in the Window (TBT)

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”
Carl Reiner

Lights in the Window

Colourful aren’t they?
Pretty too, wouldn’t you say?
Feeling kind of comfortable, are you?
Well, just follow the colorful hue
Step into our humble house
We may even have a mouse
Sit down, take a load off
A cup of hot
We’ll bring you on the dot

Today is a day, in January!
What more can I say!

Snow Mummies (TBT)

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”
Carl Reiner

Snow Mummies

Uncovered from the snow
In the dark night they glow
Small black stones for eyes
Only afraid of the sunrise
Melting their worst enemy
Cold weather the only remedy
Sitting pretty for now
Until the earth they will bow

Down the Hill

When ever there is snow on the ground
And a small mountain or a molehill found
The kids will arrive in flocks
Dragging their sleighs to the top
“Mommy, mommy, look at me!
Look how fast I am going!
Oops, look, there’s a tree!”

<Crash, bang, boing>

“Mommy, mommy, look no teeth!”
The kid only laughingly stated
As back up hill he ventured
If only to once more ride
Before getting his dentures
