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
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

The Look
He’s got the look
And all it took
Was a cute little
Brown-eyed crook
To look up
From you book
And get you hooked

Born with Teeth
I am a carnivore
But you may me adore
As I lay on the floor
So very close to the door
So better go to the store
And get me some more
Meat
Before I get bored

Poetry, photography, humour, travel, tales and things that nature!
“Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness” Aleister Crowley
Shortest of Tales for Throwback Thursday
On Thursdays we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.
This week, the archives have brought forth the shortest of tales, and really odd ones at that! Enjoy!

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!!!”
Thorns by the Double
What do I spy
With my own little eye?
Thorns of plenty
Maybe even deadly
Someone call Wendy
She’ll be,
Green with envy

Please call Hubble
Because I am in trouble
Please,
Someone burst this bubble!

Swans by the Double
What do I spy
With my own little eye?
Gliding on the waters
No, not sea-otters
Oh, my ears are ringing
Because
Two swans a singing
And a fly
In an apple tree

Day Eight: “Edge” — Straighten Your Image
At Ta Prohm, the jungle temple in the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, centuries-old carvings have fallen victim to time and tree roots. In some areas, walls still stand, their intact windows creating frames and portals. The solid, straight edges of the windows are a stark contrast to the stones that have tumbled down over time.

I’m trying not to lose my head, ha-ha”

End of Stairs
If you follow the walker
To the end of the stairs
With a hop and skip
Your toes you may dip
Unrestricted
At the edge of the pier
Into a cooling liquid

Hand Rail
Hold on for your life
To the hand rail
Said the old wife
God forbid you to fail
You may end up
In dismay
Down the ledge
To the very edge
Of the dark waters
For the waves slaughter
