“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson

Greece

In the clear turquoise waters
Maybe, spotting a few otters
But fare warning
Be careful, of what you may spot
The white fading spot
Could be a seagull doing a drop
Or a tourist diving
Without a bottom or a top!

“No place is ever as bad

Chuck Thompson

Greece

The midday sun
High up in the blue sky
Enjoying the holiday fun
Watching the birds fly

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson

Greece

Local architecture,
Filled with history
Just lay back
And soak in the stories
Of all the glories
From the past
Plastered to last
Oh, what a blast!

Happy Birthday to William Shatner

Happy Birthday to William Shatner

O Captain, my Captain!
Or is it Mr William Shatner?
Difficult to separate
Call it luck or call it fate

Watching my favourite show
Alerted by the familiar klaxon
Captain James T Kirk is on
Then nothing can go wrong

When on Vulcan
Do as the Vulcans do
Dear Captain, my Captain
Dear Mr Shatner

Live Long and Prosper!

Could it be?

“A short story is something that you can hold in your mind.
You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine”
Chuck Palahniuk

Could it be?

Could it be?
Can you see?
Is it true?
Who knew!

So what if it is
This wasn’t a quiz
It’s no one’s biz
If we go to the Ritz

Never mind
I’ll be fine
I got a dime
Let it chime

Out on the street
Dancing to the beat
Life oh so sweet
Oh what a treat

The lesson learnt
Don’t get burnt
Even if you weren’t
Dance ’till you aren’t

“A poem a day,
keeps the shrink at bay”
Gun Roswell

World Poetry Day

What would life be
Without a poet like me?
As you can plainly see
Even poetry
May be
As important for thee
As it is, for little ol’ me

Fill the world with poetry!

“Climbing to the top demands strength,
whether it is to the top of Mount Everest
or to the top of your career”
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Atop of the World, Mom!

Viewing,
The ancient ruins
From the top, of the mountain
The views,
Sometimes haunting
But never daunting

“Climbing to the top demands strength,
whether it is to the top of Mount Everest
or to the top of your career”
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Atop of the World, Mom!

On the top of the roof
Acting quite aloof
Searching for some proof
Of existence beyond the marble
As the people’s stare will never stop
At the tall white statues marvel
On the building, atop

“Climbing to the top demands strength,
whether it is to the top of Mount Everest
or to the top of your career”
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Atop of the World, Mom!

Fully glass plated houses
All the way up to the very top
This is no place for louses
Nothing hidden, nothing secret
But soon enough, some regrets
As the gazes will never stop

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Atop of the World, Mom!

Climb the steps
All the way to the top
They may take out your breath
But there is no feeling better
Than that of the atop
