Solitary (two)

“Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong”
Winston Churchill

Solitary

Sitting pretty
Feeling gritty
In the middle of the city
The tiny yellow flower
That could

“Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong”
Winston Churchill

Solitary

A solitary sun
Lighting up the blue sky
A solitary tree
Growing in the back yard
A solitary leaf
Turning green
With the other solitary leaves

Out of Jest

Posted in Simply Poetry

“I’ve got it! I’ve got it! The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
– No! The pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!”
– The Court Jester

Out of Jest

Surely, you understood, it was said in jest
After all, this is, what I do best
You see, if I am feeling really depressed
Or even a little stressed
I get very much obsessed
And start writing in rhyme
You know, that thing you can buy a dozen a dime?
But last time I looked, it’s not a crime
And so what, because it makes me feel damned fine
Maybe you too, should try!

Day in Spring

Secret Island

I am living
On a secret island
I just keep smiling
Thinking about
My tiny piece of land
No one can understand
Until they have landed
On this tiny
Place of sand
My land, my island

Day in Spring

Tall Buildings

Tall buildings
Without guildings
Climbing them thrilling
Living in them fullfilling
Working in them chilling
So, there is no winning!

The Spring Blues

Singing, the spring blues
It got spilled, on my shiny new shoes
The weather? I don’t have any clues
I am just sitting here, singing, the spring blues

Day in Spring

Bike Ride in Spring

Go on a work strike
Grab the nearest bike
Take a long long hike

Spring time is here
Bet you thought it wasn’t very near
But have no fear
It’s time to cheer
And ride your bike with a leer!

Spring Day

A sunny spring day
Nothing to it, just lay
In the pile of hay

Blue is the water
Be a sea otter
Dive into the sea
And be a water squatter

Today is the start of spring
It really begun on the bells’ ding
Now join the chorus and sing

“Oh sprint time
A merry time
I am feeling just fine
Now have some fun
Fun on a dime
It’s ok, it’s sprint time!”

Odd Shiny Objects

Objet D’Arts?
Or someone’s idea of smart?
Maybe a design flaw?
Without any courtesy to law?

Objects useful and pretty
Chosen by one or a committee
No matter, they look just fine, see
As the pictures are proving thee

Painted

“Every viewer is going to get a different thing.
That’s the thing about painting, photography, cinema”
David Lynch

Painted

A water colour painting?
Or an image ever fading?
The flowers once blooming
The watcher’s mind fueling
If you keep on viewing
The picture might be renewing
Something everlasting sustaining
Forever, in the frame maintaining
