“Connecting People” The Artist formerly known as Nokia

In the Olden Days

In the good old days
We used the other way
For those far away
Keeping connected

No matter rain, hail or snow
The postman like a pro
With his heavy bag in tow
Kept us connected

“Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored” David Byrne

Mundane Monday 2016-03-14

It’s Monday again
I tried to stay in bed
Sleep in
But why bother
For next week
Another Monday
Will raise its head

women-1

“If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman” Margaret Thatcher

Women: One

Mother, daughter, sister, woman
Wife, friend, colleague, woman
Dreamer, planner, builder, woman
Fighter, soldier, diplomat, woman

A land barren
A home void
Hard to imagine
Even Freud
To agree
We do not need
A woman in our lives

Poetry, Photography

solitude (DAY FIVE)

“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds” Percy Bysshe Shelley

Birds-eye View

Sitting, watching, observing
From it all, everything learning
Finally finding what it was searching
Into large wings morphing
And into the winds surfing

Sepia: One

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia” Ellen Hopkins

Sepia

The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last

Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

Frozen Water: One

Posted in Photography 101: Water & Orientation (Day Three)

Water-1 (DAYTHREE)

“The cold never bothered me anyways”

Frozen Water 

In the midst of all silent and frozen
The cool liquid puts up a strong fight
Surrounded by powder of white
The stream still runs wild and brazen

Harmony: Summer (The Daily Post)

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Harmony

Summer

“Art is a harmony parallel with nature” Paul Cezanne

Summer

In the cooling summer breeze
All the wild flowers will breathe
Until it is time, for the winter’s freeze

“There’s something that’s really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think” Jim Gaffigan

Artwork

A lucky shot in the dark
Turned into a work of art
Something really smart?
Or a gag done by Bart?

“March, when days are getting long,
Let thy growing hours be strong
To set right some wintry wrong.”
~Caroline May, 1887

Blue Shadows

The March sun high up in the sky
Painting tall shadows with a blue dye
Across the snowy bed letting them lie
