Feathered Friends

Our feathered friends
The windy air bend
Flying to the world’s end
For their leisure time to spend

The Moonlight Sky

From tiniest of crescent
To fullest of size
Each time a present
But never a surprise

Vehicles of Various Kinds: Two

They are motorized
Some may even tantalize
All vehicles great and small
Some faster, some crawl
Dented or ship shape
You cannot escape
Stopping and glaring
With nostrils flaring

“I want one!”

“Bright light, Bright light!” The Gremlins

Lights in the Window

Colourful aren’t they?
Pretty too, wouldn’t you say?
Feeling kind of comfortable, are you?
Well, just follow the colorful hue
Step into our humble house
We may even have a mouse
Sit down, take a load off
A cup of hot
We’ll bring you on the dot

“On my way here I passed a local cinema and it turned out you were expecting me after all, for the billboards read: The Mummy Returns.” Margaret Thatcher

Snow Mummies

Uncovered from the snow
In the dark night they glow
Small black stones for eyes
Only afraid of the sunrise
Melting their worst enemy
Cold weather the only remedy
Sitting pretty for now
Until the earth they will bow

‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ Hamlet

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-09

“To be, or not to be…” is the opening phrase of a soliloquy in the “Nunnery Scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. In the speech, a despondent Prince Hamlet contemplates death and suicide.

On the lighter side of this quote, I have adapted it to the world of blogging.

Sometimes we, bloggers, hit a wall, yes that does actually happen more often than anyone realizes! During this period, while banging our heads against the wall, we are asking ourselves “Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging?”

Maybe it is the knock of the wall that makes us come to our senses, and at this time a proverbial lamp lights upon our collective heads. And it’s when we realize, the question is actually wrong!?

So why not consider this question instead:

“To blog or not to blog? That’s a trick question, isn’t it?”

And this response to the question is:

“We blog, therefore we are!”

Snow on the ground
And everywhere found
Even the angel got drowned
