The supermoon is a 16-inch pizza compared with a 15-inch pizza. It’s a slightly bigger moon; I ain’t using the adjective ‘supermoon.’ Neil deGrasse Tyson

Moon, Bloody Super Moon

Moon bloody Super Moon
Why can’t you get here soon

Instead, in the middle of the night
From my bed standing upright
Down the street I chased it
In a state of a hissy fit
And in my pajamas no less
Frightening the neighbours I confess

Staring up the starlit night
Only to find a disturbing sight
No moon of any colour could I find
I was pissed with my teeth in grind

The big white ball
I earlier in the sky saw
Had hidden behind
A thick cloud bind

So now, another thirty-three years to wait
For that bloody moon to bate
The other option of course
And without too much of remorse
Is…

The next time the full moon is around
Maybe just photoshop in the bloody crown

SL-Week 12: Animal

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

“Until one has loved an animal a part of one’s soul remains unawakened” Anatole France

SL-Week 12: Animal

The Hedgehog,
Thinking he’s a quard dog
Leaping out of the fog
Putting the fear of god
In everyone who dared to gawk

The Squirrel,
Cute with his tail in spiral
He surely ain’t resting on his laurels
So don’t get into a quarrel
You may end up in turmoil

The Donkey,
He is surely no monkey
But rather the spunky
When he is honking
And hoofs on the ground stomping

September Rain

Rain, rain, rain
Falling down the plain
The little droplets
On the surface
Colours of autumn
Fully in blossom

SL-Week 11: Flare

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

“I actually had to use Industrial Light & Magic to remove lens flare in a couple of shots, which is, I know, moronic. But I think admitting you’re an addict is the first step towards recovery” J.J. Abrams

SL-Week: Flare

Looking up into the skies
Narrowing my eyes
From the blinding glare
The sun’s bright flare
The warmth on my skin
And the feeling within
Nature’s awesome beauty
Makes me wanna boogie-woogie

Camera Lucida: The Colour of Life

Photography and Poetry, Photo Challenge, Camera Lucida, Week 10

“Man needs colour to live; it’s just as necessary an element as fire and water” Fernand Leger

Camera Lucida: The Colour of Life

Pink makes you happy
And certainly more chatty
Some say you are batty
And even slightly tacky
But they might just be crabby
Because they do not wear pink

“Keep calm and go to London”

London Odds and Ends

Going out for Fish and Chips
Maybe viewing a solar eclipse
Or shopping for model toys
Even looking for the real McCoys
London is the place to be
With so many things to see
After a busy day on the streets
Walking, biking or on the bus
Step into the local pub
Lift up your feet
Relax without a fight
And enjoy the night

SL-WEEK 10: Windows

Posted on by

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

“I would often see windows that looked to me like they weren’t real – almost like a painting on a wall instead of a window. I thought it was kind of a cool idea” David Allee

SL-WEEK 10: Windows

Miles high up in the air
The small window the only glare
The far away lands calling
Into sweet dreams lulling
The view from the home window
Soon a fading memory of tomorrow
