“Totem poles and wooden masks no longer suggest tribal villages but fashionable drawing rooms in New York and Paris” Mason Cooley

Totem of Modern Times for Daily Photo

The bringer of light
Into the darkest of night
Is the totem of might

OK,so, now in the daylight
It doesn’t too much excite
Just standing there, looking trite…

“My imagination is a twisted place” Taylor Swift

Twisted for Daily Photo

A view, somewhat twisted
Like a sinking ship, listed
The horizon, non-existed

Professionals going ballistic
“Surely, this image is a misfit”
Retorts the photo-puristic

Laughing, I call it surrealistic
Filled with characteristics
Never mind the statistics

Maybe I just feel fantastic
Even a little nostalgic
But I say, it is naturalistic

Lilies of the Valley for Daily Photo

lilies-1

“I would far rather have two or three lilies of the valley gathered for me by a person I like, than the most expensive bouquet that could be bought!”

― Elizabeth Gaskell

 Lilies of the Valley 

She’s a Lily of the Valley
You, may call her Sally
Better not get to pally
Or out you will dilly-dally

Soon, the others Sally will rally
There will be quite a tally
They will gather in the alley
Then go for a beer to O’Malley’s

The tallest tale ever spun verbally
When Sally recounted her tally
Singing, dancing in a few galleys
Some say, it was so loud, they heard it in Cali

This will be the finale
Of a tale of a Lily called Sally
I heard she moved her locale
Last seen, in Napa Valley

 Lilies of the Valley 

As the summer wind softly blows
The delicate white bells glow
From the sunlight’s reflection
You can almost see, the perfection

Remnants

Years and years have I lived
The stories I could tell
Just a little token you need to give
And my story I will sell

“Peekaboo, I see you!”
Retorted the ray of light
When she had me in sight

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I’m still standing after all this time”

Birches

He who, for a treasure searches
Behind the dark forest lurches
Some of the most beautiful birches

Look Up!

When in the forest of deep
You may find what you seek
Remember to look up
But try not to stumble over a stub

Centipede

A monster in the deepest forest?
Something scary and horrid?
Nah, it’s just a tree, being modest
After all, it is related
To a centipede
