Opening Hours

Down in the harbour
It’s that time of the year
When summer is here
Then we put on some Brahms
And we all start to dance
Everyone, even the barber

Flowers of all Ages

Flowers, of all ages
Let them, out of their cages
And into the streets
They will be racing
But, there will be no chasing
To be honest,
I think we are much too lazy
So just sit back
And be content in praising

Flight

The seagull of the hood
Keeping guard over her domain
This may be the concrete wood
But the order must be sustained
If you get too close
Soon enough you will get a doze
On your head or shoulder
It will be quite a boulder
Of the bird’s arsenal
(Not going to the particulars)
So head this warning:
When the seagulls are swarming
Keep you distance
And you may survive the instance!

Amanda

The pretty little lady
Carved out of bronze
Curvy and naked
As cool as the Fonze
Despite over eighty
She’s none too shady

A Whole Lotta Going On

Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!

Heavy Metal (TBT)

Poetry, photography, tales and things that nature!

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous” Bill Moyers

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

I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can” Rufus Wainwright

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
