Wednesday, 18th of November, Part One

 Today, Wednesday

Really early morning
I woke up
Showered
Looked out the window
It was getting lighter
Sunrise!
Snapped a few pics

Drove to the office
The sunrise in full
Hurried to the pier
Snapped a few pics

Worked, worked, worked
Had a lunch break
In the late afternoon
Had great food
Snapped a few pics

Worked some more
Had a coffee break
And had a…
Few more cups of coffee
Snapped a few pics
Of the coffee that is

Working day ended
It was really dark outside
The decor was nicely lit
Snapped a few pics

Drove back home
Posted some blogs
Went to sleep
Dreaming of tomorrow

It will be Thursday…

Really early morning
I woke up
Showered
Today, home office day
Looked out the window
It was pouring and dark
Snapped a few pics

Worked some more
Had a snack break
It was still raining
Snapped a few pics

Worked some more
Had a coffee break
The weather cleared
Snapped a few pics

Working day ended
Drove to water aerobics
The sun was setting
Painting the sky red
Odd, it would show up
A little before disappearing
Snapped a few pics

Drove back home

Just another ordinary weekday?
No, it’s a fabulous sunrise day!

The gorgeous rising sun
What could be more fun
Lifting spirits up high
Almost feels like I could fly
What more could be expected
The good spirits soon deflected
For no reason
In this season
People are smiling again

“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.” Jo Walton

No Ordinary Sunset

Reflecting surfaces
Free of disturbance
Shadows on the walls
Where ever light falls
Red as the colour
Always a stunner

Up in the tower
Feeling empowered
Staring at the horizon
Evermore surprising
The setting of the sun
Was a true home run

“I enter the world called real as one enters a mist” Julien Green

Early Morning Mist with a touch of Red

The eerie morning mist
Before the sun has kissed
The clouds a grayish shade
Before the mist will fade

The skies slowly turning into red
Looking forward to the day ahead
Will it be another day filled with sunshine
Or do I rain and cold wind only find?

Camera Lucida: Reflections

Posted on by

Poetry and Photography
Posted in week #13 of Camera Lucida Photo Challenge, Reflections

“It’s always interesting to look at reflections…are they really the same as the reality?
How many times did you look at your own reflection and wondered if that’s how the world sees you…?”

“The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face”
William Makepeace Thackeray

Camera Lucida: Reflections

Glass, wood, concrete
How this scene to complete?
Add a dash of colour
Maybe a selfie to follow?

Through the looking glass
Time slowly will pass
The observer’s delight
Is the turning of the light

Scenery, water, skies
Even a high rise
At this altitude
The surprise is an absolute

“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall” J.R.R. Tolkien

Nightfall, City Lights

The soft coloured city lights
Reflecting on the water
In the darkened nights
Of the month of October

Standing on the pier
No one else is near
Reflecting the day’s events
Before I finally relent

And start my journey home

Fabulous Friday, 2015-10-30

Fabulous Friday has arrived
Giving it a big high five day

Early morning, early rise
A gorgeous sunrise
The air cool and crisp
Leaves covered with frost
With the moon peaking out
Time to holler, time to shout

The nature dressed
With colours of red
Sunshine reflected
On each surface
The flaring colours
The autumn odors

The last Friday of October
Truly has been a rock-tober
