Day Three: “Water” — Image Orientation

* We all have stories about water: how it has saved or defeated us. How it reminds us of family vacations, outdoor adventures, or the hot summers of our childhood. How it symbolizes a place we’ve left behind, or one we dream of visiting.

Water

“I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir” David Bowie

Sparkly

Sparkling tiny drops
Onto the leaf they popped

“Delivery here!
From the near by shop!
Your order as per requested,
Some freshly made rain drops”

Water

“I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir” David Bowie

Sea Otter

“More water,
I need more water”

Said the sea otter
As he played with Flotter
Getting even more hotter

“Waiter,
Where is that damned water?
I made the order
At least ten minutes ago!”

Day One: “Home” — Get Oriented

When you think of home, what do you imagine? You might picture a house from your past, your favorite neighborhood hangout, or a city you miss. And while home is often found on a map, it can also be less tangible: a loved one, a state of mind, a forgotten time.

“If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home” Malala Yousafzai

Summer Dwelling

Hidden from prying eyes
In the overgrown garden lies
A cottage made with love
Its owner fits like a glove

Invitations to stay are rare
But once you shown you care
A letter you will get in the mail
Just a few rules you should not fail

Do not smoke in your bed
Always put the tools back into the shed
And should you feel the urge to stay
Leave before the end of the play

“Politics is the entertainment branch of industry” Frank Zappa

On the Branch for Daily Photo

“Welcome, to the branch office”
The bird tweeted
“You may be seated!”
Continuing on his speech:
“Success we can promise
But we tolerate no leach
If you want to get ahead
You may try hard work instead”

Frosted

Like icing on the cake
The tiny watery flakes
Covering all in their wake

“Never mind the wind and rain
You know me to be quite vain
I will always strike a pose
And deliver you the daily dose
So be prepared”
The plant declared
“I shall only do this once today!”

Rainy Day for Daily Photo

“Into each life some rain must fall” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Droplets

Like miniature optics
Formed with liquid
The translucent droplets
On the leaf and branch
Doing a slow dance
Watching, observing,
Falling into a trance

“Into each life some rain must fall” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Dripping

“Drip drop, drip drop”
Like the sound of a ticking clock
The drops of rain kept falling
The steady rhythm me lolling
Into a deep slumber
“Yep, they really got my number!”
