“When preparing to travel,
lay out all your clothes and all your money.
Then take half the clothes and twice the money.”
Susan Heller
Delphi
Enjoying the view
Reserved for a few
Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi

lay out all your clothes and all your money.
Then take half the clothes and twice the money.”

Deplhi
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot

“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
Dolls
Eyes staring
Almost glaring
Never moving
Only viewing
Toward the future?
Or into the past?
No one knows
What on goes
In a doll’s mind
Just be kind
You may be surprised
Or even, hypnotized
They may be mundane
Objects d’art even
Dolls in the window
But no one really knows
Posted in Seat Sunday
“In a window seat, on the plane, to nowhere”
Seat in the Winter’s Sun
The sun is shining
The birds are flying
The air is frozen
This spot I’ve chosen
A seat in the sun

“A black cat crossing your path:
Usually signifies,
that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx
Black Cat for Caturday
Alert, awake
Nothing would shake
The determination
Not leaving this station
For any reason
Except,
For the hunting season
After all,
Next night fall
Would be
Her targets downfall
Posted in Fabulous Friday
“If you see me on Friday,
you’ll see different material on Saturday night”
Kathy Griffin
Fabulous November Friday
Fabulous Friday has arrived
Giving it a big high five day
Early morning, early rise
A gorgeous sunrise
The air cool and crisp
Leaves covered with frost
With the moon peaking out
Time to holler, time to shout
The nature dressed
With colours of red
Sunshine reflected
On each surface
The flaring colours
The autumn odours

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson
Vienna
When on a walkabout
On the city’s streets at night
Drawn towards the castle lights
Shining ever so bright
The past has its resonance
In the architecture with elegance
You may even glimpse an eminence
Roaming around the residence
Let the feelings of lavish
Your daily routine vanish
And enjoy a sip from a chalice
In the Schönbrunn Palace

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt,
in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel
Space Oddity in Vienna
“This is ground control: Major Tom, please respond: over”
“This is Major Tom: over”
“Major Tom, we have located your space pod: over”
A moment of silence on the receiving end before response:
“Um… Where exactly did you find it: over”
“City of Vienna, Austria: over”
A muffled “oops” is heard from Major Tom’s end:
“O-K, ground control. Um, any chance you could give me a lift there?: over”
“Roger that M T! By the by, we do not seem to be able to track you on the device: over”
“Well, I am kind of in a situation here…” odd noises heard on the background, “What if I just send my coordinates and you can send vehicle, OK? : over”
In the ground control, quick typing can be heard and in the distance, a loud O.M.G.
“Ah, we got your location. Sending extraction right away: over”
“A big thanks, ground control! End transmission”
Back at the ground control, the two officers are staring at the screen where the location of Major Tom is blinking. The other officer turns to look at the other one:
“I can’t believe he actually ended up there…”
“Yeah, me neither”
The officers continue to stare at the blinking screen, both shaking their heads in disbelief…
And what was the location where Major Tom had ended up in?
Well…

On the Streets of Vienna
Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya
You may not be as pretty as Sienna
Or even as hot as High Sierra
But we still love ‘ya
We really really love ‘ya
Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya
Your old town feel
Some of it real
The others can’t steal
Don’t worry,
We made that deal
Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

“The judge told me to approach the bench.
We were in a park”
Jarod Kintz,
Painted Red
The only bright spot
In the entire parking lot
In the midst of suburbia
Causing a minor hysteria
The colour of reddest red
Some say, it joy may spread
Carefully trying to sit
Just to see, if it is a fit
After I little while
I started to smile
The colour seemed to be
A perfect choice for me
And soon enough…
As far as the eye could see
All the red painted seats
Were occupied to the extreme
There is something to be said
Of the colour red
It never leaves you cold
Yes, and I too was sold
