Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be

Come,
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach

Taking a ride on a train
On this island of Spain
Driving down a narrow lane
Watching the local terrain
Sun is shining, no rain
Sipping on champagne

Ochre on White

The snow came
What a pain
But for me, only a stain
I am persistent
Even magnificent
I may be dull and dreary
But this snow may fear me
So just hear me
Because I will be here
When the snow is gone!

Bird in a Dire

It’s not a bird, on a wire
It tried hard, to get higher
But now, It’s just a bird, in dire
Sitting on that rock
For hours on end
Possibly in shock
Resilience not well spent
The bird now desperately sings

“Hey bird, just flap your wings
And fly away
Or you’ll end up someone’s prey”

 Red on White

“They boarded the air
I told ’em, it wasn’t fair
But instead, of growing angrier
I grew, even more stronger
Even changed my colours
So now, here on this fence
I sit and holler!

Red on Blue

Here we are, so resilient
And utterly, quite brilliant
The wind blows
It only us slows
Hanging on
Even though,
The rest will be gone

Quote a Week Tuesday

For this week’s quote, a quote on quotations (too much repetition?). Like most quotes, it can inspire to think and as an extension, write, n’est-ca-pas?

“A quotation is a handy thing to have about,
saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself,
always a laborious business”
A.A. Milne
