“Nothing burns like the cold.” George R.R. Martin
Frosted Forest
The snow was slowly floating
The trees with a powdery white cloaking
Like a sugar candy coating
As Mother Nature watched gloating
“Look how pretty I made it!
I don’t care one shit,
If the humans don’t see the fit.
It’s pretty and clean,
Most gorgeous thing they ever seen!
So what if it is freezing cold
And the ever rising wind blows!
Better suck it and enjoy,
For this, is my utter ploy!”
And so the little minions of Earth
Went forth in both fear or mirth
After all, how long could it be before the birth
Of summer

Peeping Tammy
Camera ready
Hands steady
Acting like the pros
Striking a pose
Click, click, click
Getting the kicks
When images saved
And getting made
Like a Peeping Tom
Creating photo bombs
Spying through the lens
Trying to make a amends
Posting views
Not only for the selected few
But no less
In the world of wireless
Enjoy!
Shall I Just Twitter Then? (TBT)

Poetry, photography, tales and things that nature!
“I worry we are spending too much time on Facebook, that we are losing our ability to connect with people on twitter”
Shall I Just Twitter Then?
“Good morning” I say when I arrive at the office. No response, from anyone.
“Good morning” My voice a little louder, but still no response.
“GOOD MORNING” I am now half shouting. I don’t believe it, no response. Everyone sitting there staring at their screens, small, medium and large.
“Fine” I say to myself, “I shall just twitter ‘Good Morning’ then!”
Suddenly, my screen filled with pings, indicating several responses to my greeting – in Twitter, that is!
Today’s social convention, how could I have forgotten!
Going Up? (TBT)
Posted in the Throwback Thursday weekly series
Poetry, photography, tales and things that nature!
“Never give up, never surrender, full speed ahead!” Galaxy Quest, Commander Peter Quincy Taggart
Going Up?
Higher, faster, stronger
Can’t wait much longer
Without any doubts
Reaching for the clouds
Got to get up, up, up!
Never going to stop
Counting every minute
The sky is the limit
Then, out of the blue
Quite abruptly
Movement disrupted
Everything frozen
Feelings of brazen
Completely gone
Looking at the door
No route for escape
Standing there
Without a clue
My mouth agape
Pulling my hair
Eyes wide
Nowhere to hide
“Well, apparently the lift has stopped?”
“Sixteenth floor, going no higher?”
“No, next step is to be opted.”
“Guess we are out of the dire!”
“Yes, well, time to get off this ride!”
“Right! Please, after you!”
“Thank you! How kind.”
“No problem! Next stop into the queue!”
