“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson

Travel in… Vienna

When on a walkabout
On the city’s streets at night
Drawn towards the castle lights
Shining ever so bright

The past has its resonance
In the architecture with elegance
You may even glimpse an eminence
Roaming around the residence

Let the feelings of lavish
Your daily routine vanish
And enjoy a sip from a chalice
In the Schönbrunn Palace

Pale Moon Rising (Daily Photo) One

I see the pale moon rising
Beyond the dark horizon
For some, it is a phenomena surprising
Some say, it is a time for an uprising
Time for organizing and mobilizing
Some just stare at the mesmerizing
Event of the day most tantalizing
For me, it’s the most tranquilizing
A moment most stabilizing
My soul, neutralizing

Manic Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Tree Line

Painted with the finest ink
Added a little hue of pink
The colouring book of nature
Quite a spectacular feature
Across the evening sky

Grey

Is it a smoke?
Is it a gun?
Is it a pipe?

It does not poke
It’s not even fun
It’s just a hype

It’s a piece of art

almost-art

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Almost Art

It’s off the chart
A piece of objet d’art
Looks kind of smart
Add it to your cart
If you have a heart
And a complimentary tart
Will give you a jump-start
For no one can tear it apart
Because it’s almost a work of art

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of, Trees

classic

“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago” Warren Buffett

Summer

The classic image
Of an old movie
The luscious green
Of a summer scene
Visions of beauty
Will never diminish
