Sweet Cherries for The Daily Post

“Life is not a bowl full of cherries, there’s good and bad stuff” Fuzzy Zoeller

Sweet Cherries 

Juicy and sweet
Quite the treat
When on the beat
In the summer’s heat
And well worth
The tweet

Sweet Cherries for The Daily Post

“Life is not a bowl full of cherries, there’s good and bad stuff” Fuzzy Zoeller

Sweet Cherries 

Good things
Do grow on trees
If you look closely
The come in threes..

Or maybe twos
Or maybe
They do multiply
On the branches
Up high

Day Nine: “Double” — Rotate Your Image

Your twin sisters. Your neighbor’s two poodles. Your vision during a dizzy spell. Your doppelgänger. Double can be interpreted in many ways.

Two for the Double (WP Developing Your Eye II)

“I think I am seeing… double!!!”

Sweets by the Double

What do I spy
With my own little eye?

Sweets by the double
Please call Hubble
Because I am in trouble
Please,
Someone burst this bubble!

Day Two: “Mystery” — Manipulate Light

* A photo can create a mood and communicate an idea that transcends its subject. At this performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival, there was a sense of anticipation, enhanced by dramatic lighting that revealed silhouettes on stage.

“Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne” Bryan Procter

Red Light 

Red, red light
Shining oh so bright
In the middle of the night
Well, alright!

Red Light 

Something extremely mystic?
Or a red light district?
In the midst of suburbia?

“That is very unheard of”
The elderly lady scoffed

“I will surely get a hernia
Unless I leave for Serbia!”
And, she was off

Partners in Red

Side by side
On the kerbside
Both painted red
What else did you expect?

“Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages.”
― Louis Pasteur

Strawberries

Soft and delicious
Even quite nutritious
Fruits of tempting red
Into your mouth are fed
Better stay alert
This is just the dessert

Violets are blue

So try not to mind

“Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” Gertrude Stein

Roses

A rose in a pose
Her beauty it shows
With petals exposed
If you bend real close
And sniff with your nose
Of a sweet aroma, you’ll get a doze
