“It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.”
― George Takei

Live Long and Prosper George Takei!

Oh my!
How time flies
When you are having fun
Keep the phasers on stun
For today we celebrate
No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero

Hip hip hooray!
Happy 79th birthday
Captain Sulu aka George Takei!

“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line” Archimedes

Straight Lines With a Twist (Daily Photo)

As the road narrows
Taller grow the midday shadows
Following the straight lines
Until an unexpected surprise

In the midst of the hike
A parked vintage bike
A smile on the face will strike

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” Jacques Yves Cousteau

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day Three

Seen from a bird’s–eye view
Down the watery avenue
Blue and even more blue

The sun on my back
The wind in my sails
The gentle tap
Against the rails

This is…
Heaven

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

“I’m Dr. Rodney McKay, alright? Difficult takes a few seconds; impossible, a few minutes.”

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

Horror made worth the Hammer
But really a computer programmer
McKay, the Science Guy
In Pegasus a Puddle Jumper will fly
And always getting the final word
Apparently a real life nerd
When playing at the gaming console
Reaching for the ultimate goal

But before I get all side tracked
Let’s get this thing cracked
We’re almost out of time
Adding some Time Lords just to rhyme

Need for paraphrasing “the other” franchise
Oh’ other fans, little me do not chastise!
So without further ado:
Live long and prosper Mr Hewlett!

(Hey, that last part did not rhyme!
So? I am only a writer on a dime!)

Yellow Little Things of Spring (Daily Photo) 

Something very weird:
Snow has but disappeared
Warm breeze passes in the air
Without warm clothing able to fare

What is this peculiar feeling
Do I need to fear?

But no problem!
It’s spring time, which is finally here!

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” Rabindranath Tagore

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day One: On the Rocks

Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing

Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip

Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim

After all, it is Spring Time!

“Welcome to the dark side”

Dark Side of the Odd (Mundane Monday)

There in the corner it stood
Like something from the tales of the odd
Or maybe, it was just misunderstood
