Day Five: “Moment” — Capture Motion

* Our lives are made up of big events and tiny moments. Life is fleeting, and oftentimes it’s the small moments, this motion, that we love to document.

Moments for WP Developing Your Eye II

“In my photographs it is apparent that there was no posing at the moment I released the shutter” Jerzy Kosinski

Happy

Sad face
Feeling crappy

“Don’t worry, be happy”
She said

And jumped off the sofa
Sprinkled fairy dust
The scent of ambrosia

“In this you must trust!”

And in a wink of an eye
Without a goodbye
She was gone

Lingering happiness
Replacing the crappiness
And finally
A smile on my face

Poetry, Day Two: Face

* For today’s poem, take a single face you know as your point of departure. It doesn’t even have to be a real-life, flesh-and-blood face you’re writing about. Faces are everywhere in the texture of our daily lives: from portraits in the museum to the banknotes in our wallets, and from billboards and street art to online profile pictures.
* If you’d like to push yourself a bit further today, give alliteration a try — it’s a handy poetic device that involves repeating the same consonant sound multiple times.

Faces

“That’s my face, so what?” Gun Roswell

Yep, I am taller

“I am taller than you ha-ha!
You are shorter than me ha-ha!”

“In your face sucker!
I ate all the peanut butter!”

Faces

“That’s my face, so what?” Gun Roswell

Um, I don’t know

“Is it a dog, frog or a hog?
I should not have had that last grog!”

“I only see fog,
Or maybe it’s smog?”

“I need to write my blog
And then go out for a jog”

“That’s my face, so what?” Gun Roswell

What, no treat?

Bull faced doggy with his mouth quite soggy
Was right on treat time when the clock struck five

“I won’t leave this spot,
Until you gimme all you got!”

Day Two: “Street” — Establishing Shot

* Today, let’s focus on a street. It can be a quiet road blanketed in snow, an alley covered with murals, or a busy avenue where pedestrians weave between cars and motorbikes.

On the Streets of Helsinki

“I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive” Carrie Fisher

Street Zombies

Roaming wild
Woman, man and child

“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”

There is no stopping
The street zombies
They’re not looking for bodies
But all new produce

“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”

A Symphony for the Street

A welcome distraction
And a new attraction
A mini orchestra
Playing, a familiar formula
Street dwellers stopping
To familiar tunes start bopping
An overnight sensation
Across this tiny nation
Or at least
The street of Alexander’s!

Ride Your Bike

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently down the street
But watch out for the spikes
Or you will end up on your feet

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Gun Roswell

Posted in the Throwback Thursday weekly series
Poetry, photography, humour, travel, tales and things that nature!

“Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it” Sai Baba

Songs and All Types of Tunes for Throwback Thursday

On Thursdays we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

This week’s digging into the archives, has produced a set of posts related to songs. Well, at least rhyming tales and poetry, but they do carry a tune:P Enjoy!
