“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

“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!

“Sweet April showers do spring May flowers”
Thomas Tusser
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!

Day in Spring
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

“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
