“Maimed but still magnificent…
Europe’s mightiest medieval cathedral”
R. W. Apple, Jr.

Cathedral for Daily Photo

What a piece of art!
Done by someone very smart
Or possibly straight from the heart

The ‘ohs’ and ‘ahs’ over the chart
Can be heard from here to St Barts
Someone tried the work bogart
But the artist said, “never could I part”

So, luckily for our viewing pleasure
We can now admire this permanent treasure
In our place of worship in our leisure

Sankta Lucia

“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
There in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia”

Sankta Lucia

The bearer of light
For the future to shine bright
With all her might
Like the shining white knight
Her sword will smite
All the anger and spite
The world to rewrite
Without war or fight
Sankta Lucia

“Win or lose,
we go shopping after the election”
Imelda Marcos

Shopping Mall Deer, Part Two, Going Cartoon

I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer
A big plastic piece of work
This side of the hemisphere

So did this little tune
And ended in a cartoon
Watch me now,
And don’t confuse me with a cow
As I am starring
With all you shoppers sparring

I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer
A big plastic piece of work
This side of the hemisphere

Shopping Mall Deer

I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer

A big plastic piece of work
This side of the hemisphere
Some say, I am a little queer

But when they see me oh so very near
They say, after a few drunken beer
I am the prettiest thing this year
So come on closer and my song hear

For I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer

“December’s wintery breath is already clouding the pond,
frosting the pane, obscuring summer’s memory…”
John Geddes

December, 1st

December the first
Came with a burst
A sunrise most gorgeous
It’s almost flirtatious

Come what may
December made its way
Holiday season upon us
With sunshine in abundance

October Morning Frost for Daily Photo

Hello October: Month of wellingtons and mackintoshes!

“But frost, like the crystallized dreams of autumn, began to coat the clearing with its sugar glaze.” Victoria Steele Logue, Redemption

October Morning Frost

Nature in pending status
Almost like being on hiatus
Leaves of multicolour
Covered with sugary frost
The misty air softly hovers
Over last night’s rain drops
Now frozen in their spots
A glimmer of sunlight
The only a reflection in sight
Soon enough the colour fades
The frost of rain only remains
And the Autumn turns
To Winter
