“A rose by any other name…”
Red Rose
A beautiful red rose
Now, fully grown
Standing, in a tall pose
Waiting, for the one it chose

One – Two – Fun (two)
Posted in Daily Photo
“Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun”
Randy Pausch
One – Two – Fun
Red headed
Pen for a body
None too snotty
Just a little naughty
Always jolly
Is this little dolly
Ready,
For the utmost folly
Looking for a play
Sometimes, a needle in the hay
Never too long to stay
With fun in its veins
It cannot be detained
Like a hurricaine
It flees this very plane
Looking, for a new game

“Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun”
Randy Pausch
One – Two – Fun
White headed
Green bodied
One minded
Fun winded
Sitting on the sidewalk
Always on the stalk
For a little distraction
Some kind of action
Of the fun variety
With a sense of propriety
Welcome

“Our house, in the middle of the street”
Madness
Welcome
Welcome, to our house
For a stay or just a browse
Be all welcome, even a mouse
Just remember, to wear a shirt
Or at least, a pretty blouse
Brick in the Wall

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Brick in the Wall
Just another brick in the wall
On this oldest of town halls
Up, up, the rugged stones yourself haul
Reaching the top, you might feel quite small
But when you stand up, and do not fall
You feel yourself, getting quite tall
No time to stall
And to be, another brick on that wall

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Memento
A woven tapestry
A memory canvas
A colourful fantasy
A memory, of Atlantis

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Harness
It’s not easy to harness
Light, from the darkness
But even in the deepest shadow
A blooming life will grow
Road Travelled

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Road Travelled
The road travelled
Was filled with gravel
As life slowly unraveled
Exposed, to unwanted battles
Sometimes, treated like cattle
Our cages slowly rattled
Until reaching, the promised castle
On this long road, travelled
Ice and Coffee

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Ice and Coffee
Chilled, in a tall glass
The liquid, not made to last
Pour it down, really fast
This dark icy mass
Was not made out of grass
But of a sacred stash
Beans filled with caffeine
Only the most pristine
Made, to this drink supreme
Daily

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Daily
Reflected, daily life
Today is, peaceful, without a strife
No need for a fork or knife
Took the day off
Decided, with a coin toss
It’s no one’s loss
Sitting, in the shadow
No worry, of tomorrow
Just enjoying, what this day throws
