Mundane Monday

“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles.” Deborah Norville

Red Light on Monday

Don’t run
Against the red light
You might
Get a sight
If the coppers
Are watching
In their choppers!

4 red-light

Sunshine on Monday

Look, who decided to show up
And here I was starting
To get all wound up!

Quickly, up from the tub
Grab my favourite cup
And outside,
With a huff and puff
I go
And none too slow!

Before, that is,
My favourite show
On TV is up!

Rain on Monday

The snail’s predictions
Done, with convictions
Brought us destruction
With a set of storm and rain
Falling heavily,
Onto, the open plane

Dark Clouds on Monday

Ominous and eerie
Even though, in theory
It was still summer

Feelings of weary
Vision getting blurry
Starting to worry
As the weather
Was getting glummer

1 dark monday

Seat Sunday (2016-07-17)

Photography /Poetry /Humour /Tale

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years” Frank Lampard

Seat Sunday

I have followed the yellow brick road
And it led me to this humble abode
Surrounded by a picket fence
And a green grass oh so dense

Now I am stationed here for all eternity
The yellow bricks stacked behind me
Grass growing tall, reaching to infinity
The inhabitants enjoying me occasionally

Maybe this is the place I will settle
And every day brew me tea in a kettle
I may be made out of wood and metal
But I can be quite sentimental

I am a special bench
Possibly made by the French
Sometimes in the drain I drench
Still, I am quite the mensch 😉

Just Another Day in July for Daily Photo

“Do what we can, summer will have its flies.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just Another Day in July for Daily Photo

Just-Another-Day-in-July-2

If you expected sunshine,
Sitting on a terrace
With a cool glass of wine
And feeling, just fine

Then,
I hate to disappoint
Dearie,
But it seems,
The odds
Are heavily
Against you

The weather gods
Decided their jobs
Was to make you sob

Like the true sociopaths
Bringing on their wrath
Even if you did not need a bath

But soaking wet
Soon you’ll be
If you think
The game is set
Maybe
It is time to flee

Or then

Just forget,
The bummer
After all
It is summer
And just
Another day
In July

Watching
The skies
Wondering,
What,
Beyond the horizon
Lies

Rails in the Sky

Take a slow ride
Up, up in the sky
You know you want to
Go as high
As high as the sky
With the ride
The ride to the sky

Time for shopping?
But of course
And we do until
We are dropping!
But,
Coffee first!

The lady with her dog
Was looking for a grog
The taxi had already gone
So she decided to sit on the log

The dude is a statue
He was quite the virtue
Now with a seagull
He seems a little dull
