Favourite Photo Of the Week
So many to choose from
I don’t even know
Where they all come from
But I guess it is the how
I am the only one to blame
If some of them gets the fame
This is what I chose this week
Hope it is what you all seek

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Three
The days are getting shorter
Reflections on the water
The last of the reminders
Of the times much kinder
The games of summer played
The tanned skin to rest laid
Tall shadows now displayed
Soon enough will fade
Because,
When in October
The cold shoulder
Of winter
Soon will reenter

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Two
Just another ordinary day
A day at the office
Blue for the skies
Blue for the thoughts
Looking out the window
Weather getting brighter
Mood is getting lighter
No time to hesitate
Out for a quick break
Sunshine and cool weather
What could be better

Early morning
Misty weather
Softly adorning
Like a feather
The nature silent
Without movement
The early bird
Only to be heard
Nothing else
Breaks the silence
Of the morning mist

Monday Morning Sunrise
Standing there, stunned
As the early morning sun
Making quite the display
When, lighting up the skies
In its unique and fiery way
But oh, how time flies
Still, wishing to remain
For a little while at least
But, unfortunately, duty calls
Oh, that necessary beast
Slowly making my way
To another mundane Monday
Secretly hoping of tomorrow
For another piece of beauty
To let me borrow

“I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday” Jack Warner
Just another Tuesday
Early wake up call
Sets the rolling of the ball
Day is about to begin
Also for this Finn
Driving into traffic
Nothing too terrific
Reaching the office
Exchanging a little gossip
And having a mild smirk
Before diving into work
When the lunch bell tolls
It is time to haul
That rigid body for a break
And knock out the aches
Leave that work console
Go on a little stroll
Down by the pier
The sunlight revere
Survey your surroundings
Before returning to the boundaries

Palma Nova
The sweetest Rosa
Of the island Mallorca
Welcomes
The weary traveler
A world’s passenger
Come
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach
Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be

SL-Week: Flare
Looking up into the skies
Narrowing my eyes
From the blinding glare
The sun’s bright flare
The warmth on my skin
And the feeling within
Nature’s awesome beauty
Makes me wanna boogie-woogie

“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins
Last Days of Summer
The end of August
Time to adjust
To the coming of Fall
No use trying to stall
The cold and rain
Will soon gain
The sun rays are few
Feelings of blue
Until the foliage
In multiple colours
Will brighten the days
Get you out of the haze
And life is bright
Once more
