“Enjoy life sip by sip, not gulp by gulp”
The Minister of Leaves, The Republic of Tea

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

Slow down
Listen
To the world
Around
Forget
That strife
Just Enjoy
Without a ploy
The simple pleasures,
Purest treasures
Of life

A cup of tea,
Plain and simple
Easy as
Your A, B, C
Soon you’ll see
A dimple
On your cheek
Will sneak

Breathe in
Breathe out
Relinquish
All doubt
Nothing to it
You can do it
Relax a while
It is no guile

Soon enough
The moment
That should have
Forever lasted
Has passed
You are back
On track

Remembering,
Hoping
The moments
Between now
And running out
To the
wide open
Would last
Longer than
A token

Yell it on the Mountain (five)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service

Yell it on the Mountain

A picturesque scenery
Real postcard material
Awaiting most eagerly
So immortalize this miracle

Yell it on the Mountain (three)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service

Yell it on the Mountain

Blue
Is the colour today
Keeping
The cold grey at bay
Listen
To nature’s music play
Move along
With your hips in sway
Take a load off
For a while stay
Surely,
This
Is the best way
To spend
This gorgeous day

Yell it on the Mountain (two)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service

Yell it on the Mountain

From the deepest of valleys
To the highest of mountains
For what better place to dilly-dally
With your heart a pounding
Just move along the shaleys
Enjoying nature and its surroundings

Yell it on the Mountain (four)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service

Yell it on the Mountain

Rain
Filling the plains
Rain
On the mountains

Pounding
The dry ground
Leaving
Permanent stains
Wherever
Rain remains

Yell it on the Mountain (one)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service

Yell it on the Mountain

On the highest peak
Of the tallest mountain
You will find what you seek
So go on, give us all a shouting
When you finally dip
Into that youthful fountain

Could it be?

“A short story is something that you can hold in your mind.
You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine”
Chuck Palahniuk

Could it be?

Could it be?
Can you see?
Is it true?
Who knew!

So what if it is
This wasn’t a quiz
It’s no one’s biz
If we go to the Ritz

Never mind
I’ll be fine
I got a dime
Let it chime

Out on the street
Dancing to the beat
Life oh so sweet
Oh what a treat

The lesson learnt
Don’t get burnt
Even if you weren’t
Dance ’till you aren’t

Monday: Not again!

“So, Monday:
We meet again!”

Monday: Not again!

I knew you were trouble
As soon as I met you
Like the space telescope Hubble
Or a kid without shoes
I would be completely lost
If I didn’t have you

Yeah, what would a week be
Without us to curse thee
Because it can only get better
After a Mon-dee!
