“The world is a book,
and those who do not travel
read only a page”
Saint Augustine

Verbania, Italy

Take a stroll
To the town hall
In the tiny town
Of Verbania
I am telling ‘ya
It’s a hoot!

Verbania, Italy

Sailing, sailing
Over the lake away
Watching, finding
All kinds of things to say
About this quaint city
In this land of Italy

“A black cat crossing your path signifies
that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx

Caturday

This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail

Caturday

The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat

After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual

Caturday

When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat

a swimming pool
but never had one”
Joan Didion

Day

Spend a day
By the pool
Put on your shades
Just to look cool
The others
May be jealous
But never mind
They just drool
Because you
Are sitting
By the pool
In your very cool
Shades

Eve

Night fall
By the pool
Watching
The setting sun
Just because
You can
The cool breeze
From the fan
The water dark
Will give you a spark
The last rays
Like fire
Waking
Your desire
To jump in
Oh heck
Just take a swim
Clothes torn aside
When swimming
Deep in the waters
Poolside

Beloved

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“Every beloved object
is the center point of a paradise”
Novalis

Beloved

Mismatching socks and messy hair
Carefully watching, trying not to stare
Sitting in your favourite chair
Chewing on your meal without a care
My eyes fixed, I still feel the flare
Whom better with my life to share

Farewell

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“Farewell, fair cruelty”
William Shakespeare

Farewell

Farewell, good bye, so long
Everyone try to stay strong
Sadness, drama, comedy
Who said saying farewell was easy?

Farewell may be forever
But never say never
Our world is still round
And what is sometimes lost
Usually, can be found
After all, we are all bound
In this tiny part of universe
Our paths may once again cross
May we remember this verse

Farewell, good bye, so long
Consider life a song
Keep chanting and stay strong
Old friends may soon come along
