Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of, Macro
“I am ready for my close-up!”
Macro World
I am soft
But I have thorns
I feel pretty
In my pink colours
I am hard
Watch out!
Better not land
On my rocks

It’s a bike?
It’s a trike?
No, it’s a Super bike!
Three wheels
Check out
How it feels
Ride a trike
It’s just like a bike
Only much more
Fun!

Christmas Celebration in a Different Style (Daily Photo 2015-12-26)
Spin that bottle
In full throttle
The ceiling covered
With all sorts of bottles
Blue and white
Shining so bright
Who ever told us
The skies would fall upon us
Failed to mention
The bottles were fastened
Into the ceiling!

Fabulous Friday 2015-12-25
Rocking around
The Christmas pool
Having a happy holiday!
The sun above
Up in the sky
Shining all so bright
On this gorgeous day!
It’s a Fabulous Friday!
No elves, reindeer
Nor Santa in sight
They must have
Taken a flight
Either to
The North Pole
Or maybe even
Hitting the pool!
Never mind
Where they are
They couldn’t have gone
Much too far
The holiday tree
Is set for thee
Maybe even
Something free
Happy Holidays and a Fabulous Friday,
One and All!

Warmth, happiness, sun light
What could be a merrier Yuletide
Than spending the holiday
On this most gorgeous day
The one special day of the year
At the pool, beach or a pier

Welcome to Hel-sinki!
Did you land here quite unexpectedly?
Please, have a look around
It’s more pleasant than it sounds
Nice, clean, safe and poetic
Our small town of the idyllic
We’re way up North
But well while the worth
Of making a short trip
Even with a tall ship
So stay a while, take a look around
You may be surprised of what you found

(Sunday 20-12-2015)
“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf
Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!
Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
Caturday: Rulers of the World (2015-12-19)

“I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat” Edgar Allan Poe
Caturday: Rulers of the World
They run your world
Despite whatever you heard
Twisting you around their tall tails
Urging you to run on nails
You will jump when they hail
“Yes Ma’am” you hear yourself say
When they approach you with a sway
And tell you it is time to play
Cats, are the rulers of the world
Sometimes you may hear yourself say “shit”
But you have to admit
You are loving every minute of it
