A Little Less of This

Happy international Cat Day!

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Ode to all Freakish Felines

Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall
Hypnotized
By those wide eyes
The limber steps
Command respect
You can never own them
Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles

See good in everything… – from LiJiun’s blog

“If you have something bad smelling in your pocket, wherever you go it smell bad. Don’t blame it on the place.” by Ajahn Chah A profound teaching …

See good in everything…

Never Forget -from Inside the mind of Isadora blog

Don’t forget to glance up from your keyboard and see how blue the sky is now and then. Don’t forget to put away your cell phone and spend time alone …

Never Forget

Greece and the Water

“There are plenty of places to dive, to swim or even row, in Greece, in a small cove” Gun Roswell

Greece and the Water

Clear blue, endless, cloudless skies, and cool, refreshing blue waters
Suitable, for us lowly peasants, and even, for the kings daughters

The ancient, mighty monuments, surrounded, by the crystals glittering
The many images of the castles, forts and other similar types, on the surface reflecting

Waterfalls, existing in a garden or even, carved by nature
A calming effect, is just the same, no matter which way you venture

When the night slowly falls, and the time, totally stalls
The birds are taking their final flight, before tucking in, for the darkening night

Here I am, sitting, contemplating, for a moment, by the turquoise pool
Now, slowly changing, into deep dark colours, by the eerie shadows

Playing, on the surface, finally daring in, for a nightly dive, in the liquid space
Refreshing, rejuvenating, before finally, falling, into deep sleep in this heavenly place

Happy Fansbury (international Angela Lansbury appreciation day) 18.10.

“Better to be busy than to be busy worrying” Angela Lansbury

Fansbury!

Her big blue eyes and pouty lips
Taking a stance, with hand on her hips
Singing, dancing, humour and drama
Clapping our hands, shouting ‘brava’

The Dame, in the name, may have lead you to fame
And our fansburiens lives, have never be the same
Dame Angela, may thy name be written across the skies
We’ll stand down here, making high fives

The Guard Cat

“Cats, are everywhere, thank goodness!” Gun Roswell

The guard cat

The guard of a cat
The cat on a wall sat
Sat as pretty as a cat
Cat of a guard nature
Nature which causes some hatred
Hatred just because he hunts
Hunts to keep the pests away
Away as far as he can slay
Slay the rats and other types
Types which might harm cause
Cause of being too many
Many enough for the cat to hunt
Hunt as he only can
Can, because this yard is his land
Land he can only protect
Protect and then be rewarded
Rewarded by his hoomans
Hoomans to whom the cat works
Works to keep the safe
Safe, as he only can be
Be, the ultimate guard cat ever seen

Celebrating International Women’s Day

know who I am. I am not perfect. I’m not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I’m one of them” Mary J. Blige

superwoman

Woman

What a wondrous creature is a woman
How unique, noble and oh so stunning
Smart, sexy, able and very, very funny

Call her…
If your house is a flooding
And you need help with the plumbing

Call her…
If your band is a bumming
And you need someone a drumming

Call her…
If the weather is making you grunting
And you need someone for shining

Call her…
Simply
If you need someone for hugging

Red Seat

“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige

Red Seat

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

Sunday on my mind

“I am always looking forward to Sunday” Gun Roswell

Sunday

i wish to stay
forever

but

already monday
rears its ugly head
wish any other weekday
