“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence” Henry David Thoreau

Narrow Passage

What’s behind us here has led
To the narrow passage ahead
Do not fear or dread
For the future wide and open
To this path have woven
No words to be spoken
As we take our first step

Who the Hell is Gun?

Posted in Camera Lucida Photo Challenge, Self Portrait

“I cannot sing, dance, act or write, but it never stopped me from doing any of those things” Gun Roswell

Who the Hell is Gun?

She thinks she is the Gun with the fastest bullets
She sure loves her creature comforts
Her chair, her Trek, her Mac and coffee
Maybe even some added toffee

my-spot  food

mac-coffee  coffee

Home sweet home
Her true heart’s motto
Write more and still some more
Her work etchic on the dot-o

home sweet home 1  home sweet home 2

A holiday spent in a warmer climate
Cheeks will turn the colour of tomatoes
Fuel it will for a year’s worth
Surely going onwards strong with mirth

gun-5  food-coffee

Even of her car she wrote
A little tale, oh what a poet!
Drag Queens, comedy, science fiction
Between them not always a clear distinction

car  tech

creature comforts  gun-7

Her home filled with objet d’arts
A collection long ago did start
Oh and did I mention the many a shoes?
Maybe even a witch’s brew?

shoes-2  shoes-1

Her leg was operated a while ago
Now fully mended and on the go
High heels come a clacking
When someone at the door is knocking

Strong and independent is her mindset
But do not that let
Fool you into thinking
She is not as soft as a kitten

When it comes to her and hers
You can softly hear her purr
When the working day is done
Let the slumber surely come

Caturday, 2015-12-12

In honour of Caturday and all cats everywhere

caturday-2

“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea” Robert A. Heinlein

Caturday, 2015-12-12

“I keep my cat
In my handbag”

Said the old hag
And, with a snag
Lighting a fag

“It’s not a gag,
so just cut me some slack”

She quickly snapped
As she zigzagged
A price tag
Like a yellow flag
Flashing on her ragtag
And out of fashion coat
Stepping into a boat
Flinging in her large tote
The cat sprung out
And onto the float
In a few quick strokes
She rowed across the moat

Fabulous Friday, 2015-12-11

“I understand what’s it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something” Don Cheadle

Fabulous Friday

Leaving the working week far behind
I really have no idea how I ever survived
Fabulous Friday knocking at the door
Awaiting to carry me to a different shore

A glittering sequin dress, a pair of high heels
This is as good as it gets and feels
Leave your sad face and the bad place
Awaited Fabulous Friday is finally here

Prancing, dancing
Singing, winning
There is no stopping us
Well, not at least until the bus
Has arrived to take us home

“Don’t make a spectacle of yourself”

Black and Pink

Vision so clear
I can not fear
If I ever lost them
To a whirlwind
Would I be sent

Like a second skin
Through thick and thin
As thick as thieves
My spectacles and me
As far as I can see

“Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow” Fran Drescher

Yellow

Not quite a rose
Still has its thorns
Gorgeous in its pose
A little red adorns
Not quite a flower
Still has the power
Each time to wow her

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Rhodes Island, Part Four

Rhodes Island, Greece
A small piece
Of our history
Beyond the centuries
The old town
Considered the crown
The beach
At your reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you need
On the small island of Greece
