Sunset

Several flights higher
In the air much lighter
Sunset much brighter

Sunrise

In the early morning
The red sky adorning
Before the stormy clouds
Are a forming

Manic Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” ― Ansel Adams

White on White

White, off white, grey
Is the colour of the bay
In the deepest of winter
Or a picture from your printer?

Sunrises

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The sun is out of bed
In the sky’s avenue

Glass Houses

Heed this warning:
No stone throwing
Near the houses
Made out of glass

“98% of what gets built today is shit” – Frank Gehry

Buildings At Dusk (Daily Photo)

Tall buildings
Simple,
Without gilding
Built from glass
Possibly to last
Piercing the nightly sky
Lit up pretty
And aiming high

blue

“blue, darkly, deeply, beautifully blue” Robert Southey

Blue (Daily Photo)

Blue, bluer, bluest
The moment before darkness
The frozen sea silent
A single light on the island
Soon the night will fall
And into deep slumber
We are all called
