“From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It’s not a miracle; we just decided to go” Jim Lovell
December Moon, Part Five
Welcome,
To the dark side
Of the moon
They promised
Strong coffee
With an option
Of cream
Half way there
Gave me a scare
What if
There was
No sugar?
Oh bugger!
So what
Coffee black
Is just
As good!

“I am not a person who reaches for the moon as long as I have the stars” Gertrude Ederle
December Moon, Part Four
Echoes of the past
Echoes of the future
Time is moving fast
No later than sooner
Up high
In the sky
Total bliss
When time is
Standing still
If you blink
Even a wink
The moment
Passed you by
Oh how
Time flies

December Moon, Part Three
Moon moon
December moon
Bright in the night
Bright in the day
Hope you are
Here to stay

December Moon, Part Two
“Look, the moon boss, the moon!”
December moon
You came so soon
Where did you go?
We were looking for you
Already a month ago
Here you are
Shining bright
Did you go far?
Never mind,
You are always
Such a delight!

“The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to” Carl Sandburg
December Moon, Part One
Partly hidden
Behind the soft clouds
Playing chicken?
Or just a misty shroud?

The river snaking across the expanse
This may just be the promised land
Clear waters as far as the eye can see
A perfect place for the summer to flee
Posted in A Quote a Week Tuesday
& In honour of the month of December
If it’s December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?” Howard E. Koch
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-01
This week’s Tuesday quote seemed appropriate for the occasion. After all, today is December first, and just yesterday, it was summer, oh what a bummer?
Time flies when you are having fun?
Or is it just another pun?
Hoping to see the sun
Even though it’s December one
“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss
In honour of the month of November
Poetry and Photography
“So. Monday. We meet again. We will never be friends—but maybe we can move past our mutual enmity toward a more-positive partnership.” Julio Alexi Genao
Last Day of November
Last day of November
Wishing it was still September
Or at least a snowy day in December
Rain, rain, rain
Some more rain
Feelings of mundane
Starting to sink in
Dull, dark, dreary
Nature somewhat eerie
The sun coming out rarely
Hanging in there barely
Last ones of leaves
In the barest of trees
Holding on for dear life
Existence one big strife
Then, something unexpected
When you least expected
A beam of light reflected
On the dark surface
Could it be?
Is it possibly…
Sunlight?

“Love isn’t always as straight and narrow as you’d like to think” Gun Roswell
Amore
Oh L’amour
The word itself, pure glamour
Love
If it fits like a glove
Like the two proverbial doves
On a branch busy at tweet
Generating more heat
Than a red glowing stove
Love knows no gender
Love knows no age
Love is always tender
Love knows no hate
