“Red is the ultimate cure for sadness” Bill Blass
Red
Seeing red?
Hoping for something else instead?
What can I say
I like to play
Red is red is red
Maybe you should have stayed in bed
So like it or not
Here are the shots

“Heed these words, You who wish to probe the depths of nature: If you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. In you is hidden the treasure of treasures. Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods”
~ Delphi Oracle
The Oracle of Delphi
If you have come to seek
The words of wisdom
Or maybe just a peak
Through the prism
Place your request
To the priestess
The Oracle
Of Delphoi

“I’m not lazy. I’m just in my energy saving mode”
Lazy Day
Sunshine, with a few fluffy clouds passing by
Sitting under a tree, letting out a sigh
Down the valley, up the mountains
The shadows are bouncing
The guardians of the palace
Keeping an eye on the chalice
A lazy gaze cast over the passer by
Stern look warning “don’t you even try”
Time is almost standing still
Nothing to do but chill
Another lazy day soon ending
To the evening light blending
Vacation time
The best of times

“Life is short, the art long” Hippocrates
Statues
Standing proud
Covered in a shroud
Adored by the crowd
Shouting out loud
Applauding you
Admiring you
A sort of fandom
But not by random
Marble, bronze or metal
Something sentimental
The statues of ages past
Will all of us outlast

“There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality” Pablo Picasso
The Abstract and Bizarre
How bizarre
Said the Tsar
When he looked into the jar
Filled with tar
His mouth ajar
He jumped into the car
Driving quite far
Steered by the North Star
To find a snack bar
Only to find Babar
Playing the guitar
While smoking a cigar
And watching Jafar
Striking under par
The abstract
Quite a concept
Maybe the next step
In the world wide web
Can I hear a yep, yep?
Or is it just hep
Or another misstep?

“As long as I can remember, I’ve been writing – first poems, then stories, and by my early teenage years I was also in love with sailing” Nathaniel Philbrick
Sailing
Sailing across the high seas
The wind a soft breeze
The sun shining high in the sky
On the waters the boat gently a fly
All worries and doubts fading
Wouldn’t be trading
This moment for anything
Because this, is pure living

“After a storm comes a calm” Matthew Henry
After the Storm
After the storm
Everything is calm
Surrounded by silence
When roaming the island
Not a soul in sight
A sole bird in flight
The scent of nature
The intoxicating mixture
Enhanced by rain
Hard to restrain
My rejoicement

“Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors” African Proverb
The Lighthouse
The Lighthouse
A white house
A shining beacon
If you’re seeking
It will guide you safely
When venturing bravely
While following that breeze
Through the unknown seas

“Things are not quite so simple always as black and white” Doris Lessing
Life in the Monochrome
I am neither black or white
I am just a gray delight
Maybe not so much fun
Being only a colour of one
That of a monotone
But not a clone
You may call me,
Monochrome

“There’s a bright spot in every dark cloud” Bruce Beresford
Clouds, clouds, clouds
Dark and dreary
Nothing too weary
Or bright with light
Clouds filling the skies
Rain and thunder
Sunshine through the blunder
With a promise of a rainbow
Let’s watch the show!
