“Time had changed the magical to mundane”
― Rohinton Mistry
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

Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You in TBT
Posted in Throwback Thursday
“Life is not simple, and people can’t be boxed into being either heroes or villains” Jessica Hagedorn
Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You
I may no be the hero type
Or match your idea of a villain
You think I am a complete zero hype
Because I caused you a chilling
Just because in your grand plan
I did not win the grand slam
Stuff me in the smallest locker
It isn’t such a shocker
It’s not the obstacle, it’s a mild hindrance
I will seek and find the entrance
Just because
I can never be part of the conventional stock
Always and forever thinking outside the box
Hard Times in Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday
“We’re horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We’re the ninjas of the mundane, you might say” Andy Partridge
Hard Times
“Hard Times”
The wall stated
“Living on dimes!”
Sighing frustrated
Sign of the times?
Only cheap wines
Walking the thin line
Avoiding the mines
Remembering,
The good old times
And as long as this rhymes
I will be feeling just fine
Have A Gorgeously Fabulous Friday!
Posted in Fabulous Friday
“I understand what’s it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something” Don Cheadle
Have A Gorgeously Fabulous Friday!
Leaving the working week far behind
I really have no idea how I ever survived
Fabulous Friday knocking at the door
Awaiting to carry me to a different shore
A glittering sequin dress, a pair of high heels
This is as good as it gets and feels
Leave your sad face and the bad place
Awaited Fabulous Friday is finally here
Prancing, dancing
Singing, winning
There is no stopping us
Well, not at least until the bus
Has arrived to take us home
Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is! for TBT
Posted in Throwback Thursday
“There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles” ~Author Unknown
Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is!
You may be iconic
But also diabolic
It’s quite symbolic
To call me a ‘holic
But still I frolic
When I get glycogenic
Pining for your taste
Of the full flavour laced
With truffles
My mouth muffled
When I eat
My favourite treat
My life in dire straits
Would be
Without the traits
You offer me
Oh sweet Chocolate
Thee
Simply Blue in Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday
“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbor
Simply Blue
Simple, with blue
Some red in the view
A blurry object
Nothing too perfect
Just something caught in a frame
And for that, you have me to blame
Caturday – Travel – Part Two
Posted in Caturday
“Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life” Alejandro Jodorowsky
Caturday
The tourist of a foreign land
Came here to our strand
We let them snap some photos
And for them, strike a few poses
Scratching our backs
There is no lack
Of many a treats
Neatly we sit
Until all the pix
Are snapped
And the strangers all gone
Then we, just run along
Ready for my Close-up (FAV FOTO FRIDAY)
Posted in Favourite Foto Friday
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence” Ansel Adams
“Ready for my Close-up”
Getting closer and closer
A little more closer
Almost close enough
For an object to touch
But wait, time to hesitate
The cactus with mighty thorns
May your fingers scorn
Before you loose
Better choose
The creamy strawberries
With their pals blueberries
A tasty treat
Without any meat
Some eye candy to complete
With a red amaryllis ever so sweet
Mistrust is such an Ugly Word in TBT
Posted in Throwback Thursday
Mistrust is such an Ugly Word
My poor little mistrusting thing
Think ,what joy a friend may bring
Together sharing your precious blings
Laughing when playing in the swing
Trust is a difficult thing
You say quicker than the clock could ding
I am afraid of the sting
Even if it means alone I would sing
Your world may not always be on a string
And you may not always be the king
But if you want that bell to ring
Spread out far your wings
And in the chorus you may sing
World Wide Wednesday in Mallorca
Posted in World Wide Wednesday
“Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs” Susan Sontag
Mallorca
Palma Nova
The sweetest Rosa
Of the island Mallorca
Welcomes
The weary traveler
A world’s passenger
Come
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach
Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be
