“I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest” Robert Wyatt
Fluffy Clouds for Daily Photo
Soft
Like cotton candy
The colour reminiscent
Of beaches
White and sandy
Blue skies filled
With soft fluffy clouds
Life chilled
Relaxation allowed
Now, all is
Fine and dandy

Red for Mundane Monday
“I didn’t like mundane life” Jeanne Calment
Red Fruit
They are
Healthy
Juicy
Delicious
Tasty
Fruity
Nutritious
They are not
Spaghetti
Soupy
Suspicious

Red for Mundane Monday
“I didn’t like mundane life” Jeanne Calment
Red Eyes
Glowing red hot streaks of light
Staring, still scared to lose my sight
Instincts kicking in: Fight or flight
Getting closer and closer
Movement slower and slower
Breathing lower and lower
Questions, filling my mind
What kind of monsters do I find
Will they be bad or will they be kind
“Well, guess there is only one way to find out”
She said out loud
And then, she opened the box…

– Pamela Hansford Johnson
Sunset for Daily Photo
Sunset,
On a rainy day
Setting,
Across the ocean bay
Creating,
A pleasant display

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)
“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting, People Watching
On the seaside
By the roadside
As time slowly
Passes me by
Watching
Observing
Recording
Conversations,
Word exchanges
Life
Of the passers-by

“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting on the Curve
As I am
Sitting on the curve
And watching
The cars swerve
It’s getting difficult
To keep my nerve

“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting with lots of Stuff
It’s meal time
But, the table
Is not fine
Lots of stuff
Laying about
With a huff
Giving a shout
“Oi, you!
Get here
Ass in tow
Clear your grime!”
“Didn’t you hear the chime?
It’s nearly din din time,
And, my patience
Is running low
And, as far as I know
These ‘antiques’
Are just for show”
“So,
Unless you got
Something eatable
In that pot
Off with the lot
I have to put
Some grub
On the table!”
“Shut up,
Sit down
And enjoy
Your meal!”

“Life is not a bowl full of cherries, there’s good and bad stuff” Fuzzy Zoeller
Sweet Cherries
Juicy and sweet
Quite the treat
When on the beat
In the summer’s heat
And well worth
The tweet

Sweet Cherries
Good things
Do grow on trees
If you look closely
The come in threes..
Or maybe twos
Or maybe
They do multiply
On the branches
Up high

Poetry, Day Nine: Landscape
The space(s) we spend our days in have such profound effects on us. Today’s prompt, landscape, invites you to explore your whereabouts and translate your thoughts into a poem. You could focus on the physical traits of a place you find beautiful, or on the way you interact with your surroundings at home, on the way to work, or when you’re on holiday.
“Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer – and often the supreme disappointment.”
― Ansel Adams
Ocean View
A magnificent ocean view
With endless shades of blue
Reserved, only for a few
Maybe
A place of worship
With a few virgins
Or
A place of searching
With thoughts merging
Perhaps
Some might call it
Nirvana
Or
What ever you wanna
The place of eternal blue
Quickly on you grew
Like a comfortable old shoe
And you
Would never want to leave
This place
With an ocean view
