Paths for the Daily Post (three)

Posted in the Daily Post: Path: Photography /Poetry /Humour

“Do not go where the path may lead,
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Paths 

Just follow the path
It has no wrath
You may end up doing some math
Or even taking a bath
But don’t be a sissy
Little Missy
Just follow the path

Eerie Suburbia on Mundane Monday

“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can”

Eerie Suburbia 

Early morning eerie,
Even a little scary,
Thought I saw a fairy
But it was just the neighbour’s Mary
On her way to the ferry

Whales Ahead

“Hop on
Hop off”
The seller scoffed
Waving us to board

Not knowing what was in store
Anticipation
Hesitation
Finally at sea
And nowhere to flee
The boat shook

“Oh, look!
Thar be whales here!”

Anticipation for the Daily Post

Up the River

Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver

Anticipation for the Daily Post

Ship Ahoy!

Ship ahoy!
This is not a ploy
But the real McCoy
We even invited Floyd
And now,
We are ready to deploy
On a trip of joy!

Anticipation for the Daily Post

Lift-Off

With growing anticipation
Waiting to leave this station
Without any hesitation
Travelling across the nation
In one big celebration

But…

“What is the hold up?
We are ready for lift off!”

Winter Time in Clogs on Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday : Photography /Poetry /Humour

“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can”
Rufus Wainwright

Winter Time in Clogs 

I may not be a snob
Do the odd job
But certainly the odd dog
When spending my winter time
In my trusted wooden clogs
