“I must go in. The fog is rising” EMILY ELIZABETH DICKINSON

Halloween Night on the Bench

Surrounded by misty air
Missed the last fare
Sitting on the park bench
Wishing I had worn a trench
The eerie surroundings
Leaving my heart pounding
Not a soul in sight
On this mystical night
Wrapping my coat tighter
My mood getting lighter
I hear some noises
A car approaches
Finally, I have a ride!

“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall” J.R.R. Tolkien

Nightfall, City Lights

The soft coloured city lights
Reflecting on the water
In the darkened nights
Of the month of October

Standing on the pier
No one else is near
Reflecting the day’s events
Before I finally relent

And start my journey home

“Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second” Mattie Stepanek

Last Sunset of October

On my way high, high up
Ever higher
Closer to the sky
On a smooth elevator ride
Up to the 16th floor I fly

From this ocean view
Reserved for only a few
Enjoying the last rays of sun
The last of the sunsets
Of the month of october

Fabulous Friday has arrived
Giving it a big high five day

Early morning, early rise
A gorgeous sunrise
The air cool and crisp
Leaves covered with frost
With the moon peaking out
Time to holler, time to shout

The nature dressed
With colours of red
Sunshine reflected
On each surface
The flaring colours
The autumn odors

The last Friday of October
Truly has been a rock-tober

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Blue Moment

That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…

…A natural true blue

Another Early Morning Sunrise; A Late Night Sunset

 

Another Early Morning Sunrise

After the stormy weather and pouring rain
The sun came out to play again
The early October morning, day called Monday
It seems I can start calling it my fun day

A Late Night Sunset

The eve was about to set
I was once again treated
With a another gorgeous sunset
Today, on this Monday
One of the last days of October

The End of Colour

“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt” William Allingham

The End of Colour

This is the end of colour
Of the pain and sorrow!
The October rain
Finally came
Lashed down the leaves
Now it’s just heaps
Of gray on the ground
No colour to be found
It is the end of colour

The Bench Series: October: A Bench to Sit on

“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige

A Bench to Sit on

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
