“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast” Charles Dickens
Contrasts, Two
Enjoyed the fall
On many a stroll
At the door
Winter is knocking
With white
Everything blocking

“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast” Charles Dickens
Contrasts, One
Black on blue
The Autumn is due
For turning of Winter
Like a splinter
In your index finger…

“The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully” Henry Rollins
Just Another Week Day in November
Oh how time flies
Right in front of my eyes
Like a time laps movie
Running by the history
The sun rises and sun sets
Fluffy clouds a wonder
Rain and thunder
Making the ground wet
It used to be January
Now it is already November
Maybe it was just imaginary
Or just something I remember

Fabulous Friday, 2015-10-30
Fabulous Friday has arrived
Giving it a big high five day
Early morning, early rise
A gorgeous sunrise
The air cool and crisp
Leaves covered with frost
With the moon peaking out
Time to holler, time to shout
The nature dressed
With colours of red
Sunshine reflected
On each surface
The flaring colours
The autumn odors
The last Friday of October
Truly has been a rock-tober

“But frost, like the crystallized dreams of autumn, began to coat the clearing with its sugar glaze.” Victoria Steele Logue, Redemption
October Morning Frost
Nature in pending status
Almost like being on hiatus
Leaves of multicolour
Covered with sugary frost
The misty air softly hovers
Over last night’s rain drops
Now frozen in their spots
A glimmer of sunlight
The only a reflection in sight
Soon enough the colour fades
The frost of rain only remains
And the Autumn turns
To Winter
“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it”
George A. Moore
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia
When you travel around the world, how many times upon return have you commented: “Well, that was fun, but home sweet home!”
Today a trip of a different kind
It’s surprising what you can find
When stepping, outside your door
Amazing, what beauty to score
The grass may be greener
On the other side of the fence
But sometimes you may be keener
To save a few more cents
Pick up the pace and lift your feet
Wander down your home street
The mundane soon turns to treasure
Leaving you with feelings of pleasure
So when not in Rome
Safe in home sweet home

“October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again” Hal Borland
October Saturday, Part Two
Standing in the sun’s light
Between the tall shadows
Selfies of a different kind
Listening to the echoes
Before the end of twilight
And the rising of the moon
Night time falling soon

“October sunshine bathed the park with such a melting light that it had the dimmed impressive look of a landscape by an old master” Elizabeth Enright
October Saturday, Part One
Finally, weekend
Truly a godsend
A time to enjoy and relax
Lift your feet up and chillax
But, being my usual self
Could not just sit down
Grabbed the camera from the shelf
And ran down town
Sunlight on Saturday
Watching the shadows play
Colours of leaves in abundance
The birds and flies doing a dance
Sun warming the air
Not a time to despair
The cold and damp weather
Replaced by light and high pressure

“Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.” Chad USG
Wednesday in October Parts One, Day Time
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!
