MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #48

almost-art

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Almost Art

It’s off the chart
A piece of objet d’art
Looks kind of smart
Add it to your cart
If you have a heart
And a complimentary tart
Will give you a jump-start
For no one can tear it apart
Because it’s almost a work of art

Odds and Ends

Objet d’art
Or something smart
On the odds and ends
Our time we spend
Without our creature comforts
We might be up the rafters

“Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really!

“Woman is the sun, an extraordinary creature, one that makes the imagination gallop” Marcello Mastroianni

Creatures of the Back Yard

They are strange and rusted
Quite possibly really busted
Those little peculiar creatures
Of my own back yard

It’s all part of nature
Despite the man made feature
Those little odd beasties
Of my own back yard

You really got to love them
They may be impure gems
Those little strange beings
Of my own back yard

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #33

“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch

Phone Home?

A dialer device
From a different era
Had to suffice
Let me tell ya
An analog connection
No visual perception
No texting
Sure no sexting
Just a calling machine
The only mean
For ancient times
But oh how time flies
Now we all have
A mobile device

Que Sera, Sera

Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-11-13

The highest tower
Like a tall flower
The setting sun deflecting
Last rays on metal reflecting
Silver, yellow and red
Nothing more to be said
This most gorgeous vision
Selection done by decision
For your viewing pleasure
So, do, value this treasure

sunset, tower

Heavy Metal

Up the stairs
Down the stairs
clicking and clacking of heals
On the heavy metal seals
If you’re running fast
The echoes will last
All the way up
Or way down

Open Sesame

Abracadabra!
How well do you know your algebra?
It is as easy as one, two, three
Even before you can boot your PC
The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said
