“Only the best is good enough” Ole Kirk Christiansen

Real Life Legoland

Fresh from the stock
Built out of blocks
Blocks into flats
In a swing of a bat

A real life Legoland
Was it a coincidence?
A fun experiment?
Or just as planned?

“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.” Eudora Welty

Light ’em Up 

From dusk till dawn
Sing like a swan
Run a marathon
Mow the lawn
No time for a yawn
Before you know it
The sun is gone

After done
Hit the traffic

Turn the lights on
Before the darkness sprawls
And turns us into dolls

Hidden 1

“Not a visible enthusiasm but a hidden one, an excitement burning with a cold flame.”
Patrick Süskind

Hide and seek

When playing the game
Of hide and seek
To hide one’s true name
Takes a lot of effort and technique

Hiding in plain sight
In the revealing daylight
A game only for the smart
As played for the art

“The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat” Jules Renard

Tiger Cat

I am a tiger cat
Hear me roar!

My furry stripes
I am wearing proud
Sometimes picking a fight
‘Cause I like being loud

But when groomed and fed
And safely resting in bed
I am a cute little kitty
Without any hissy fitty

I am a soft kitty
Hear me purr

Are a forming

“O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?” Percy Bysshe Shelley

Winter World 

Made out of snow
In one windy blow

The air cool and misty
Shiny white and crispy

Nature pearled
And transformed
Into winter world
