Shadow Play (three)

“The true work of art
is but a shadow
of the divine perfection”
Michelangelo

Shadow Play

Shadowy Self Reflection

Crouching in the shadows
Between the flowers of the meadow
In the darkness there is no sorrow
Just some time to borrow

Day Six: “Solitude” — The Rule of Thirds

Today, let’s capture solitude: the state of being alone, or a lonely and uninhabited place. What does this word look like to you?

“Solitude standing” Suzanne Vega

One Winter’s Day 

Break time
Nothing but time
On my hands
No other plans

Cool sea breeze
My hands freeze
Trying not to sneeze
Uttering, “please”

Let this break
Be over soon!

Mundane Monday

As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much” Bruce Campbell

Shadow Play

Shadows in play
On the walls they display
Trying to make heads and tails
But all attempts fail
Searching for a clue
Is very hard to do
Like a needle in a hay…
…stack
You cannot get a fact
Of what it really is
So please
Just enjoy the show!

“I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike” Queen

Ride a Bike (Daily Photo)

Ride, ride, ride your bike
A bicycle or a trike
What ever distance you like
Feelings of a childlike
Life passing by a dreamlike
When you are riding, your bike

“March, when days are getting long,
Let thy growing hours be strong
To set right some wintry wrong.”
~Caroline May, 1887

Blue and White

Blue skies and snowy white waters
The sun burning ever more hotter
To bring the winter to its slaughter

Blue Shadows

The March sun high up in the sky
Painting tall shadows with a blue dye
Across the snowy bed letting them lie

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” George Eliot

The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part Two

The odds and ends
This theme extends
Another mundane Monday
It’s not just an other week day
But a time for little things
Which much joy will bring

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Three

The days are getting shorter
Reflections on the water
The last of the reminders
Of the times much kinder

The games of summer played
The tanned skin to rest laid
Tall shadows now displayed
Soon enough will fade

Because,
When in October
The cold shoulder
Of winter
Soon will reenter
