Blue for SL-WEEK

statuesque-1

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange” Vincent Van Gogh

Statuesque 

When in Athens
Do as the Spartans
Run a marathon
Just for fun
And maybe erected
Something statuesque
For your benefit

Blue for SL-WEEK

blue-mountains

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange” Vincent Van Gogh

Blue Mountains 

Not quite the Himalayas
But something close to the playa
If you are a player
Then up the hill I will race ya

Blue for SL-WEEK

blue-belles

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange” Vincent Van Gogh

Blue Belles 

The two blue belles
With their unique smell
Will put you under a spell
There is no use to rebel
Just relax, and in the moment dwell

Blue for SL-WEEK

good-old-times

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange” Vincent Van Gogh

Good Old Times

In the greenest forest
A little blue cottage
Nothing too exotic
The outside not so polished
In this time and space
A peaceful resting place
Before the world again to face
And returning to the rat race

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange” Vincent Van Gogh

Blue Reflections 

The sky and clouds
Like a cool blue shroud
Woven across glass and steel
Looks as cold as it feels
But if you touch the surface
You are in for a surprise
It is indeed, actually warm

Doggie Days Two for Caturday

looking-3

“If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater suggest that he wear a tail” Fran Lebowitz

Whatcha looking at still?

My begging techniques
Are quite unique
Into the foolish human’s
My eyes I will be zooming

Under my spell she will fall
And give me a treat not so small
Maybe even get me a ball
And later lazily on the couch sprawl

Doggie Days Two for Caturday

looking-1

“If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater suggest that he wear a tail” Fran Lebowitz

Whatcha looking at?

I am so bored
I think I just snored
Laying on this floor
Watching the door

Always on my guard
Checking out the yard
Wishing really hard
I could run really far

“Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom” Queen Elizabeth II

Live Long and Prosper Queen Elizabeth II

Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty three years
– Surely worth some cheers

You’re part of the folk
Even cracked a few jokes
You got street smarts
And certainly won our hearts

Pink, purple or blue
To name but a few
The colours like your spirit
Would inspire many lyrics

Wishes for
Many more
Years of reign
Hear our hail:

Long Live the Queen,
And surely and sincerely
A very happy 90th birthday!

Have a Fabulous Friday!

Posted in the Friday series “Fabulous Friday”
Photography, Poetry,  Song

“After a really hectic week, I hate going out on a Friday evening, so I’ll always opt for a night at home” Donna Air

Fabulous Friday 

A new day
A new weekend
A new beginning
A blank page
I am, in center stage

On my way
My vision quite clear
People looking, in disbelief
As I am swinging
Down the street

Sounds of pops and crackles
Letting out a chuckle
Heading towards the harbour
The fireworks beginning
Feeling like I’m winning

Found the new location
Time for a celebration
For new sensations
Time for fun and play
To the rhythm starting to sway

Music and laughter
Not feeling the dafter
Only joy and being alive
Time for a high five
Let’s all have a ball

Wishing One and All
A Fabulous Friday
