The Lighthouse

Photography and Poetry

“Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors” African Proverb

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse
A white house
A shining beacon
If you’re seeking
It will guide you safely
When venturing bravely
While following that breeze
Through the unknown seas

Clouds, clouds, clouds

Photography and Poetry: Greece, Evia 

“There’s a bright spot in every dark cloud” Bruce Beresford

Clouds, clouds, clouds

Dark and dreary
Nothing too weary
Or bright with light
Clouds filling the skies
Rain and thunder
Sunshine through the blunder
With a promise of a rainbow
Let’s watch the show!

Cloudy with a chance of Rain

Photography & Poetry

“Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative” Oscar Wilde

Cloudy with a chance of Rain

Cloudy, with a chance of rain
No, we’re definitely not in Spain
Seems to be a repeating pattern
Maybe a joke by the Mad Hatter

Be careful to not get a frost bite
When you dip your toe into the lake
Or you might end up in a plight
And a most terrible ache

A summer’s day in July
Eyes focused on the sky
Clouds moving to the wind
Cold breeze on my skin

Should have worn a jacket
“But it’s summer” I quote with “brackets”
Let’s open the packets
And bring out the rackets

Summer madness or fun
Maybe we’ll see the sun
Before the day is done
And we have to run

So let’s enjoy this time of year
Without any doubt or fear
The winter soon enough is here
And the summer mood will disappear

Photography & Poetry: Life in the Archipelago, Part 1

“Life is hard, but not impossible”

Life in the Archipelago

The harsh environment
Without atonement
Surrounded by the sea
Nowhere to hide or flee
Life at its simplest
Still most dearest
Would not change it
To the big city life
Even with the strife
For no better fit
Than in the archipelago
Except maybe,
In Trinidad and Tobago
