Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #48

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

Grey

Is it a smoke?
Is it a gun?
Is it a pipe?

It does not poke
It’s not even fun
It’s just a hype

It’s a piece of art

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #48

“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

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide

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

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Orange

“An orange on the table, your dress on the rug, and you in my bed, sweet present of the present, cool of night, warmth of my life” Jacques Prevert

Orange, Three

Stop for a while
Take a seat on a bench
Have some food
For a thought
Drink some coffee
For going on
You need to stay strong
Orange is the colour
You had best to follow

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

And into the white light stare

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #33

“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

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

Heavy Metal

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #32

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

“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
