Monday with(out) Coffee
What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy
It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate
Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break
Photography and Poetry
And, yet another homage to Coffee ;P

Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day
Setting limits on your writing can be both liberating and productive, as you may have noticed in Day 1’s timed free-write and yesterday’s word count exercise. Let’s incorporate a different restriction: write a post that takes place during one single day.
It might seem hard, at first, to tell a compelling story with such a limited temporal horizon: you have no recourse to flashbacks, backstory, or foreshadowing (unless it’s in reference to something about to take place that same day). But the narrow confines of one single day will encourage you to zoom in on rich, telling details.
But remember: recreating a single day doesn’t automatically mean describing every detail. This assignment is very much about editing — and focusing on the right details.
How will you use 24 hours as your story’s canvas? Here are examples:
* Start in the middle of the action, then zig and zag through time, from the moment you woke up to the last thing that happened before you retired for the night.
* Structure your story as a play-by-play (or hour-by-hour) account, complete with precise time markers.
* Zoom in even further, limiting yourself to just one hour of your chosen day.
* Ignore these instructions and reveal one day’s significance indirectly, through focusing on its aftermath

Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day
For this particular assingment, I decided to go with a completely different approach. I have kind of had a head start for the overall idea of “recreating a single day” since Monday.
I am running a trial of posts this under the theme of “Ordinary Days”, where I am capturing the events of the day in few simple sentences accompanied by daily photos taken during each day. The trial itself was a good idea, unfortunately my life, as it turns out is filled with more work than ever! But still, well worth the while the effort 😉
Maybe Friday will bring a change, since it is after, fabulous!

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Three
The days are getting shorter
Reflections on the water
The last of the reminders
Of the times much kinder
The games of summer played
The tanned skin to rest laid
Tall shadows now displayed
Soon enough will fade
Because,
When in October
The cold shoulder
Of winter
Soon will reenter

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Two
Just another ordinary day
A day at the office
Blue for the skies
Blue for the thoughts
Looking out the window
Weather getting brighter
Mood is getting lighter
No time to hesitate
Out for a quick break
Sunshine and cool weather
What could be better

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part One
Early morning
Misty weather
Softly adorning
Like a feather
The nature silent
Without movement
The early bird
Only to be heard
Nothing else
Breaks the silence
Of the morning mist
