“The snow doesn’t give a soft white damn whom it touches.” ― E.E. Cummings
Fluffy, Soft, White (Daily Photo 2016-01-10)
Fluffy, soft and white
In the softest of light
Tiny jewels flickering
Waking the slumbering
Into a bright white blossom
In the snow as light as cotton

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide
Odds and Ends
Objet d’art
Or something smart
On the odds and ends
Our time we spend
Without our creature comforts
We might be up the rafters

Take a Load off
A bench of stone, wood or wire
Can get you out of the dire
When feeling spent and tired
Take a load off and enjoy the fire

Feathered Friends
Our feathered friends
The windy air bend
Flying to the world’s end
For their leisure time to spend

The Moonlight Sky
From tiniest of crescent
To fullest of size
Each time a present
But never a surprise

Vehicles of Various Kinds: Two
They are motorized
Some may even tantalize
All vehicles great and small
Some faster, some crawl
Dented or ship shape
You cannot escape
Stopping and glaring
With nostrils flaring
“I want one!”

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Time
This week, think about time and portray it photographically. Maybe you have a photo about one of the activities in the extract from Haig’s book above. Perhaps you have a fascination with clocks. Or maybe contemplating time takes you somewhere else completely. I hope you enjoy this week’s challenge.
“Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible” Stephen Hawking
Seconds
Heart beating
Time is running out
Only a few seconds left
For the ultimate request
Using a different route
Feels like cheating
Finally reaching
My own hideout
No time for rest
Only doing my best
No time for tryout
Parameter breaching
Safely in my blue box
Punching the clock
Time starts moving
Seconds removing
Going backwards
Against standards
They said
It couldn’t be done
But did I bet
And know I am gone
Back in time
Trying to find
…My future

The Good Old Times
In the good old times…
Everything was cheaper
The sky was much bluer
The summers were longer
The winters were colder
The children played nicer
The women were prettier
The men more handsome
The songs were chansons
The television shows were better
Complaints were written in letters
The world was wider
Everyone drank cider
And over all…
Everyone had more fun
In the good old times!
