“Time had changed the magical to mundane”
― Rohinton Mistry
Look Up!
When in the forest of deep
You may find what you seek
Remember to look up
But try not to stumble over a stub

Hard Times in Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday
“We’re horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We’re the ninjas of the mundane, you might say” Andy Partridge
Hard Times
“Hard Times”
The wall stated
“Living on dimes!”
Sighing frustrated
Sign of the times?
Only cheap wines
Walking the thin line
Avoiding the mines
Remembering,
The good old times
And as long as this rhymes
I will be feeling just fine
Simply Blue in Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday
“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbor
Simply Blue
Simple, with blue
Some red in the view
A blurry object
Nothing too perfect
Just something caught in a frame
And for that, you have me to blame
I’ll follow if You lead in Mundane Monday

“To bring the sublime into the mundane is the greatest challenge there is.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan
I’ll follow if You lead
Where ever you’ll go
I will follow
You are my human
I am your dog-man
I don’t care if you wear pink
Even though others say it stinks
So let’s end this in a rhyme
And I will ‘go’ on the chime
Vortex for Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday
“There’s something that’s really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think” Jim Gaffigan
Glass
A reflecting vortex
Into a bottomless pit
Image out of context
The obvious
Becoming complex
Mundane Monday: Through the Looking Glass

“I’d thought I wanted to live free of my mundane little cage, but the world outside was feeling more and more hazardous.”
― Shannon Hale
Through the Looking Glass
It’s just glass
See-through mass
Push real hard
And through it you will pass
Mundane Monday: Sugar!

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar
Sugar!
Very colourful
Exceptionally alluring
Highly addictive
All sugar
Just eat it!
Mundane Monday: Falsified Self-image
Posted in Mundane Monday
“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles” Deborah Norville
Falsified Self-image
The shadow reflected
Not what I expected
Feeling disconnected
Somehow misrepresented
It has to be rejected
And quickly corrected
My true self resurrected
This image perfected
Mundane Monday: Over the Railing

Over the Railing
Over the railing and
Into the water
Retorted Harry Potter
As he dove underwater
Mundane Monday: AC/DC
Posted in Mundane Monday
“I didn’t like mundane life” Jeanne Calment
AC/DC
Electric current
Quite transparent
Lost without it
The modern world
In chaos would hurl
In one big swirl
