“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
Enjoying the island life
Dancing to a flute or a fife
Whether a history buff
Or a hang loose beach bum
Rhodes is the place enough
To make you wanna hum

“Cats are like music:
It is foolish to try to explain their worth
to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and The Cat
If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

“Cats are like music:
It is foolish to try to explain their worth
to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and The Cat
No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat
No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set

“The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever”
Jacques Yves Cousteau
By the Seashore
I still remember
That one September
The bluest of skies
And it was warmer than July
The water clear and inviting
The air soft and delighting
Not a worry in sight
Everything quite right
In the distance
For an instance
A boat or two
Disappearing from the view
Most tourists already gone
Leaving us alone
Enjoying in peace
With a short lease
The last rays of summer

“Necessity… the mother of invention”
Plato
Under the Sun
When all is said and done
Enjoying the sea and the sun
Finally, having lots of fun
Though, there is one pun
It all happened in Greece
Before they took a lease
On their little piece of heaven
Always open twenty-four seven
But, alas the play will still continue
And I hope to this wonderful venue
End up
Soon enough

“Things are not quite so simple always as black and white”
Doris Lessing
Life in the Monochrome
I am neither black or white
I am just a gray delight
Maybe not so much fun
Being only a colour of one
That of a monotone
But not a clone
You may call me,
Monochrome

“Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
The Raven EDGAR ALLAN POE
Birds
Face to face
Eye to eye
This was one race
Which could go awry
Standing there
Assessing me
Its glare
Devouring me
Without any warning
Flying across the air
Giving me the scare
Looking with scorning
No escape
Its mouth agape
It tilted its head
Quoth the bird “Polly wants a cracker”

“Keep your face to the sunshine
and you cannot see a shadow”
Helen Keller
Shadow and Light
Shadow and light
Presented
In black and white
The street light
Took the fight
Directly, to the sunlight
