“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” – Seneca

The Moonlight Sky

From tiniest of crescent
To fullest of size
Each time a present
But never a surprise

Vehicles of Various Kinds: Two

They are motorized
Some may even tantalize
All vehicles great and small
Some faster, some crawl
Dented or ship shape
You cannot escape
Stopping and glaring
With nostrils flaring

“I want one!”

“When walking through the ‘valley of shadows,’ remember, a shadow is cast by a Light” Austin O’Malley

Shadow Play in October Part Two

The October sun’s shadows
Casting tall and narrow
The darkened figures
Painting abstract pictures
Onto every surface

Carefully you listen
But the only sound
Is the soft whistle
Of the Autumn leaves
Landing on the ground

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow” Helen Keller

Shadow Play in October Part One

The sun in zenith
Standing beneath it
My shadow casting tall
Despite feeling small

The shadows at play
On this October day
Wish I could stay
A while longer

Sepia, Photography and Poetry

Photography and Poetry:  The Clinic /Photo Rehab

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia” Ellen Hopkins

Sepia

The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last

Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

Dark Shadows

Photography and Poetry

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow” Helen Keller

Dark Shadows

The sky filled with darkness
The cast shadows seem harmless
The calm before the storm
Everything soon to transform
The rain and thunder soon to follow
The earth and skies swallowed
By nature’s display of power
No need to feel sour
Soon the sun will shine again
And the bad weather will be slain

The Window

Photography and Poetry

“Friends are like windows through which you see out into the world and back into yourself. If you don’t have friends you see much less than you otherwise might” Merle Shain

The Window

A looking glass to the outside
A mirror to the inside
With the curtains open
Secretly hoping
Someone would take a look
And maybe get hooked
