“Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability”
Sam Keen

Staycation – Summer in Suburbia in Daily Photo series

Staycation, a vacation, of a diffrent kind
Excellent choice, when you just try to unwind

Rain or shine
Just keep rollin with the twine
Life, will be, just fine
Expect, the sun to shine
Go out, to dine
So what, if you only have a dime
You can pretend, you’re a mime

At my station, on the windowsill
I try to sit, oh so very still
Observing, memorizing, mesmorising
Watching the sun set and the sun rising

No hurries, no worries
Time is standing still
I shall enjoy, the summer flurries
Even, if it takes all my power of will!

“The sky is an infinite movie to me.
I never get tired of looking at what’s happening up there”
K. D. Lang

Red Sky, Sunset on Staycation

Painted,
Red tainted
Clouds,
Almost animated,
On eve,
As the sun,
Leaves
Making,
Its mark
Before,
The dark

Red Sky, Sunset on Staycation

Red,
Is the sky
High,
Above my,
Soul,
Which only,
Wants to fly

“All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites”
Marc Chagall

Opposites

The other
Of a bluish colour
The other
Not at all duller

Opposites
In so many ways
Positives
You want to embrace

“Donuts.
Is there anything they can’t do?”
– Matt Groening

Naturally made Doughnut

Mouth agape
For this round shape
But I won’t break
For its glorious taste

It wasn’t made out of paste
Not with sugar laced
As its round shape I traced
I knew, I would it embrace

Feeling spaced
My nemesis I faced
All inhibitions erased
And soon, I was in need, of toothpaste

Luminous

“To me, life, for all its privations,
is a luminous thing.
You have to risk it.”
Jeanette Winterson

Luminous

Illuminated
Elated
Dedicated
Awaited

Luminous things of nature
In this frozen portraiture
Not just a summer’s feature
But living, breathing creatures

Fated
Sacred
Created
Illuminated

Hanging Together

“Alone we can do so little;
together we can do so much”
Helen Keller

Hanging Together

Together, on this branch
Together, we all dance
Together, by chance
Together, has an advance
Together, us unlikely plants
Together, we will cause
The biggest avalanche…

…Well, at least, that’s the plan!
