Shadow Play

Posted on November 1, 2024 by Gun Roswell

“Tall are the shadows, once on an October’s day” Gun Roswell

The sun in zenith
Standing beneath it
My shadow casting tall
Despite feeling small

The shadows at play
On this October day
Wish I could stay
A while longer

Happy Halloween?

“Sleeping in the park, on a hard bench? Yeah, well, it happens to people a lot more often than you might think, and it’s not even Halloween!” Gun Roswell

Surrounded by dark and misty air
Missed the very last fare
Sitting on this, park bench
Wishing I had worn a warm trench
The eerie, dark and damp surroundings
Leaving my heart pounding
Not a single soul in sight
On this mystical, scary night
Wrapping my thin coat tighter
My mood getting suddenly lighter
I hear some noises
A car in the distance, approaches
Finally… do I have a ride!?!

Colours of October – Gone

Posted on October 30, 2024 by Gun Roswell

“They are fading fast, dropping too, like flies in summer, only it’s getting colder now.” Gun Roswell

The leaves of colour
Soon but shadows
Slowly fading away
In the October rain

Autumn leaves
Falling down
From the trees
On to the ground

The winds are soon
But a silent whisper
As the leaves bloom
Out of existence

October Moon in the Dark Skies

Posted on October 29, 2024 by Gun Roswell

“The moon is always there, but now, in the darkened night, it’s visible again” Gun Roswell

Shiny objects in the sky
Was it an unidentified fly by
Or just the crescent moon up high
Shining its light in this fool’s eye

Sunset in October

Posted on October 28, 2024 by Gun Roswell

“The sun is setting, the skies are falling, what’s the difference?” Gun Roswell

On my way high, high up
Ever higher
Closer to the sky
On a smooth elevator ride
Up to the 16th floor I fly

From this ocean view
Reserved for only a few
Enjoying the last rays of sun
The last of the sunsets
Of the month of October

October Days in Suburbia (2)

Posted on October 27, 2024 by Gun Roswell

“The days are getting shorter, sunshine a scarce commodity” Gun Roswell

The evening falls
The sun is setting
Soon it is time to crawl
Into the bedding
But before that
Taking a few snaps
Of the setting sun

October Days in Suburbia

Posted on October 26, 2024 by Gun Roswell

“The colours still remain vivid, even if they are soon to fade” Gun Roswell

Type, type, type
Work, work, work
Finally, a break
Looking out the window
The sun beckoning
Stepping outside
Half way through the door
Something hits me
Like a lightning
It’s cold outside now
It’s after all, October
Time to put a coat on
Stepping out, first step…
But wait!
Don’t forget the camera!

House by the lake is no fake

Posted on October 25, 2024 by Gun Roswell

Living by a body of water, certainly is on the bucket list of plenty of dwellers, but yeah, it would be totally great live there“ Gun Roswell

A house, built on top of the rocky hill, gives the onlooker chills, as it’s just by a cool looking lake, and that kind of a place, is just the best, at least during the seasons where the temperatures are warm and totally nice, the weather somewhat mild, and chilling down by the calming lake, well, there really is no better place, for spring or summer.

But, when the damp and cold October winds start, the house by the lake is starting to feel less of a place nice, with the howling winds and pouring rain, leaving a bunch of stains all over, the cold seething into the old bones… but the warming fires inside and out, keep them warm way into the darkest of nights, making the feel and looks all cozy without a fright.

And then soon enough, it is winter time, the freezing ice covering the lake, and then things don’t look as loaded with strife, as the old skates come off the hook, taking it out there on the lake, swirling around on the icy cover on a sunny but cold day, and hey, all bundled up and prepared, the house by the lake is simply great, no matter the season, so yeah, no complaints!
