“Just living is not enough…
one must have sunshine, freedom,
and a little flower”
Hans Christian Andersen

Pink and Pretty

Nothing shitty
Only pink and pretty
That was the topic
Of this little ditty

She said
As the colours
Filled her head

Red leaves in spring time?
Does it seem like all is fine?
But still,
They are pretty as hell!

Tails of the Black Cat (one)

Posted in Caturday

“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.”
― James Herriot

Tails of the Black Cat

A black cat
On the fence sat
No, not with a hat
Nor even, a rat
And none too fat

“Bring me some fish, stat”
To me she spat

“Oh won’t you look at that,
A feisty little thing of a cat!”
I said

Knowing full well,
I sooner should her have fed

She kept at me staring
With her nostrils flaring
I felt quite daring
Acting non-caring

Cautiously, approaching
With a bowl full of fish things
I could almost hear her sing
When seeing what I’d bring

Now the cat
Who was black
Who on the fence sat
Now nicely did act
And was ready,
For a quick chat

“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.”
― James Herriot

Tails of the Black Cat

The furry black cat
On the sidewalk sat
Looking for that rat
Who had entered the flat
The flat where the cat
Slept on the mat
Now ready for combat
With the daring rat
Who had woken the cat
From his well earned nap

“Soon I will you catch,
You feisty little rat!
I bet you taste like a bat
And possibly are non-fat
After all that
I will finally have my nap
On my comfy little mat!”

Rock and a Hard Place

Posted in Simply Poetry

“If there is a wrong time and a place, I’ll be there!”

Rock and a Hard Place

rock

I was stuck
Between a rock
And a very hard place
Wondering
Should I go
Or should I stay

If I go
Will it be slow?
If I stay
Will I end up
In dismay?

Which ever I choose
Something I may loose

But, what if,
Instead
Looking ahead
The constant flow
Of the middle road
Just taking it easy
And oh so very slow

“The past becomes a texture, an ambience to our present”
Paul Scott

Night Fall

Standing tall
Before the night fall
Trying to stall
One minute more
Before the darkness
Consumes it all

Autumn Leaves

The colourful autumn leaves
Gently in the early morning light heave
Soon it will be eve
And the sun will take its leave
But no need to grieve
Just fall asleep and dream
For soon enough, an other day weaves

Holiday Dreams

Under the palm tree
Feeling totally free
Never mind
The thirty odd degrees
