“I want to die with my blue jeans on” Andy Warhol

Blue

Feelings of
Utter sadness
Out of focus
And deepest of blue

Thinking
Adjusting
Accepting
Letting go

The picture
Getting clearer
Pain slowly
Fading away

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” George Eliot

The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part One

An other week started
Living in it full hearted
Caught by the blue moment
In the early morning hours
Much to my enjoyment
It gave me super powers

Working through the days
Enjoying the evening haze
The sunsets and the darkness
With promises
Of a new tomorrow

Mundane Monday, 2015-10-19

Poetry and Photography
Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch

Mundane Monday, 2015-10-19

She is standing tall
Hoping never to fall
Slicing the sky
Beautiful to the eye
In silver and blue
Didn’t have a clue
Until the sun’s reflection
Caught my attention
A mundane object?
Or something perfect?

Fav Foto Friday #13

How to choose a favourite
Do I even dare of it?
I love all “my offspring”
From early morning
To late of the night
I keep up the good fight
For my photographs
What more could I ask

“No spring nor summer’s beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face…” John Donne

October Sunrise 

… The longer you stare
    Into the bright glare
    The red gets in control
    Devouring the sky whole

October Sunrise 

Sunrise, higher than high
In the early October sky
Over the morning clouds
The sun has spread its shroud
Blues and reds playing in a mix
Eyes staring completely transfixed
The cool crisp air caressing
Almost feels like singing…

August Skies, Photography and Poetry

Photography and Poetry

“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins

August Skies

Blue, darker, black
White, grayer, black
The days are getting shorter
The sunlight but a quarter
The clouds gathering
Soon the sun capturing
More rain to be expected
Into our souls reflected
In the August skies
The truth lies
The summer’s end

Picnic in July, Finnish style

Poetry and Photography

“In the bible it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. They called it disaster. In Finland we call it summer!”

Picnic in July, Finnish style

Going on a picnic
Come snow, hail or shine
After all, it is still July
Hoping not to get sick
Sitting on the beach
Shivering with cold
The warmth at arms reach
It’s summer I was told
Not time for mission abort
Should not have worn shorts
The rain soon falls
Drops like thick walls
Clothes getting wetter
Running to shelter
Looking for a hide
Getting inside
Cold and wet
And unfed
Cursing and swearing
Of this life unfairing
Looking outside again
Hoping no more rain
What the f…k?
The sun is back up!

On the Edge

Photo 101: Day Eighteen: Edge & Alignment

 

“Living on the edge” Aerosmith

On the Edge

Sitting on the edge
On the top of the hedge
Staring at the skies
Oh, how time flies
Clouds of blue and white
Making me write
This little ditty
Of pictures ever so pretty
