“The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated” Mahatma Gandhi

World Animal Day, 4th of October

What would the world be
Without a cat, elephant or a bee
As far as the eye can see
Birds sitting in the trees

Join in and celebrate
All creatures great and small
They have given us much more
Than anyone can elaborate

Full Moon for Daily Photo

“And Fall, with her yeller harvest moon and the hills growin’ brown and golden under a sinkin’ sun” Roy Bean

Distant Moon

full-moon-5

Spinning out from orbit
Like a sugar rush tripping hobbit
If you think about it
It may sound quite horrid
You may even feel worried
But, before you vomit
Another comet
May fill the empty space
And be a much nicer place!

Copper Moon

The copper shaded moon
Has reached its full bloom
Rusty and round
Lighting
The night ground
If you were looking for treasure
To be a person of leisure
Then this is
The wrong rainbow!

Shining brightly
Tonight oh so whitely
Like a Christmas song
Banging the gong
The full moon
Came out at noon

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

Grey

Grey may be mundane
Or the colour of a great dane
But it has no fame
And sometimes gets the blame

Real of Reflection

Is it real
Or just a reflection?
Just fall
Into the deception

Grey for the ocean
Grey for the sky
Is this a dream
In black and white?

Sunrise
Or sunset?
It may be in the eyes
Of the onlooker
Or however the picture
Was devised

Hello October: Month of wellingtons and mackintoshes!

“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” Mark Twain

October Moon

Shiny objects in the sky
Was it an unidentified fly by
Or just the crescent moon up high
Shining its light in this fool’s eye

Hello October: Month of wellingtons and mackintoshes!

“But frost, like the crystallized dreams of autumn, began to coat the clearing with its sugar glaze.” Victoria Steele Logue, Redemption

October Morning Frost

Nature in pending status
Almost like being on hiatus
Leaves of multicolour
Covered with sugary frost
The misty air softly hovers
Over last night’s rain drops
Now frozen in their spots
A glimmer of sunlight
The only a reflection in sight
Soon enough the colour fades
The frost of rain only remains
And the Autumn turns
To Winter
