“Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs” Susan Sontag
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Mallorca, Part One
Palma Nova
The sweetest Rosa
Of the island Mallorca
Welcomes
The weary traveler
A world’s passenger
Come
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach
Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be
Poetry and Photography
“My poor vision gives me a soft-focus morning. For the first half hour, I kind of wander through my house, and everything is a blur. I put my contacts in when I’m ready to deal with the world” Carrie Ann Inaba
Soft Vision
Sometimes looking at life
Through soft blurry vision
Is like giving up the strife
Moving towards wisdom
Being out of focus
May sound bogus
But it can really be
A very good thing

All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up” Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard
Autumn Close-Ups
When the nature has shed
Summer’s green
The colours of red
Is all that is seen
Leaves and berries
Even the cherries
Shining brightly
So tread lightly
When stepping into nature
Photography and Poetry
“Don’t take your toys inside just because it’s raining” Cher
Don’t blame it on the rain
When it rains, it pours
Thunder and lightning
Can be oh so frightning
But don’t run indoors
Yourself into hiding
It can be fun outside
Even if you won’t stay dried
It may be raining
But nothing staining
Just enjoy the ride
Photography and Poetry
“In August most of Europe goes on holiday” Tony Visconti
August Rain
The light droplets of rain
Falling onto the open plane
The air cool and crisp
The wind but a wisp
The nature lush and green
Everything new and clean
Photography and Poetry
“August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I’ve been listening to in the late spring and summer” Henry Rollins
August Nature
The last warm days
Before the cold rains
It is time to prepare
But do not despair
Summer may be ending
The nature surely changing
Soon it will be autumn
But the colours
Will be awesome

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia” Ellen Hopkins
Sepia
The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last
Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart
Photography and Poetry
“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet” Bob Marley
After the rain
The leaves are greener
The air is cleaner
The sky is bluer
Raindrops the only reminder
Of the storm now passed by
