“Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken”
D. H. Lawrence

Water’s Edge for The Daily Post

Landing softly
Like, into a big cup of coffee
Swimming around calmly
The water cool and salty
What did I expect?
This is sea water in all its respects!

Fish daring near
Without any kind of fear
Cool, I think
Now I am the king (or maybe queen)
Of all the sea creatures
Didn’t expect that
In this feature!

“Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken”
D. H. Lawrence

Water’s Edge for The Daily Post

When standing on the edge
I made this solemn pledge
To dive in
Even if,
There would be ice thin
Luckily,
This September weather
Is a reminiscent of a soft feather
More so,
Than a rainy autumn
Boy,
Must the Forecast Gods feel dumb!

Orchids for Daily Photo

“I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers…
I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.”
Beau Bridges

Orchids for Daily Photo

Roses are red
Violets are blue…

But then again
It’s not always so zen
An Orchids’ colour may vary
So don’t get too scary
This time it was pink
As was the kitchen sink

“Say what?”

“Don’t blame me, It had to rhyme
Should I stop?”

“OK, so all is fine!”

“Then I’ll pop…
out that is 😉 “

For this week, I have chosen two quotes from the famous painter and true genius of the arts, Pablo Picasso:

The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up”

Colours and Candy for Mundane Monday

"Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, 
which often gets ignored"
David Byrne

Colours

A work of art?
Or something smart?
A splash of colour
Will leave you wonder
What is beyond there?
A work of art
Or something,
Even more smart?

Candy

A bowl filled with candy
Would cheer up even Mandy
Keep it handy
And you’ll never go cranky!

Fish and Blueberry Pie Sunday for Daily Photo

"Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes"
Joseph Roux

Blueberry Pie

dessert

If you ask me no questions,
I will tell you no lies!

(How many pieces
Of this delicious pie
Did I really eat?
Just read my tweet
And possibly
You’ll be the wiser
Or just follow my philosophy
And eat the pie as an appetizer
Then it won’t count
And your calories will mount
To a lesser number!)

fish-sunday-1

All this for a feast
To say the least!
So much to eat
Some salty, some sweet
To top it all
Fish served in a bowl
Before you know it
You’re off your feet
Lying on the couch
With a tummy ouch
But a fair price to pay
For such a great meal
On this lovely Sunday!

Dreaming in Black and White for Seat Sunday

“It's a cute little studio apartment that has just what I need:
 a bed, a couch, a table, a chair, and a coffee-maker.”
 ― Shawn Lukas

Dreaming in Black and White for Seat Sunday

seat-sunday-2

In technicolour dreaming
You sometimes wake up screaming
Do not struggle or fight
Turn off all colours
And soon, the soothing
Of Black and White
Will dim down the lights

Dreaming in Colour for Seat Sunday

In the middle of the night
Just when you thought you missed that flight
Just when you thought it could not get more duller
Dreams vivid, and in full colour

A seat, in summer, poolside
All the nightmares, can now, subside
