Red for Mundane Monday

“I didn’t like mundane life” Jeanne Calment

Red Eyes

Glowing red hot streaks of light
Staring, still scared to lose my sight
Instincts kicking in: Fight or flight

Getting closer and closer
Movement slower and slower
Breathing lower and lower

Questions, filling my mind
What kind of monsters do I find
Will they be bad or will they be kind

“Well, guess there is only one way to find out”
She said out loud
And then, she opened the box…

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)

“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”

Sitting, People Watching

On the seaside
By the roadside
As time slowly
Passes me by

Watching
Observing
Recording

Conversations,
Word exchanges
Life

Of the passers-by

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)

“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”

Sitting on the Curve

As I am
Sitting on the curve
And watching
The cars swerve
It’s getting difficult
To keep my nerve

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)

“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”

Sitting with lots of Stuff

It’s meal time
But, the table
Is not fine
Lots of stuff
Laying about
With a huff
Giving a shout

“Oi, you!
Get here
Ass in tow
Clear your grime!”

“Didn’t you hear the chime?
It’s nearly din din time,
And, my patience
Is running low
And, as far as I know
These ‘antiques’
Are just for show”

“So,
Unless you got
Something eatable
In that pot
Off with the lot
I have to put
Some grub
On the table!”

“Shut up,
Sit down
And enjoy
Your meal!”

Sweet Cherries for The Daily Post

“Life is not a bowl full of cherries, there’s good and bad stuff” Fuzzy Zoeller

Sweet Cherries 

Juicy and sweet
Quite the treat
When on the beat
In the summer’s heat
And well worth
The tweet

Sweet Cherries 

Good things
Do grow on trees
If you look closely
The come in threes..

Or maybe twos
Or maybe
They do multiply
On the branches
Up high

Poetry, Day Nine: Landscape

The space(s) we spend our days in have such profound effects on us. Today’s prompt, landscape, invites you to explore your whereabouts and translate your thoughts into a poem. You could focus on the physical traits of a place you find beautiful, or on the way you interact with your surroundings at home, on the way to work, or when you’re on holiday.

“Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer – and often the supreme disappointment.”
― Ansel Adams

Ocean View 

A magnificent ocean view
With endless shades of blue
Reserved, only for a few

Maybe
A place of worship
With a few virgins
Or
A place of searching
With thoughts merging
Perhaps
Some might call it
Nirvana
Or
What ever you wanna

The place of eternal blue
Quickly on you grew
Like a comfortable old shoe

And you
Would never want to leave
This place
With an ocean view

“Hounds follow those who feed them.”

The Look

He’s got the look
And all it took
Was a cute little
Brown-eyed crook
To look up
From you book
And get you hooked

Born with Teeth

I am a carnivore
But you may me adore
As I lay on the floor
So very close to the door
So better go to the store
And get me some more
Meat
Before I get bored

“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.”
― Emily Dickinson

Clever Clovers for Daily Photo

Clever clovers green and white
Clever clovers strong and bright
Clever clovers fluffy and light

Enjoy them on green grass
Enjoy them in vase
Enjoy them in a salad mixer

Needless to say
Clever clovers
Are great in any way!
