Writing 101, Day Three: One-word inspiration

Prompts come in many different forms. Sometimes, a single word is all you need to get your mind’s wheels turning. Here are six words:

* HOPE
* REGRET
* HOME
* CHOICE
* ABUNDANCE
* SECRET

Select one word in this list that speaks to you in some way. Have you always wanted to write about that one decision that changed your life? Are you a long-term traveler looking for the right city to settle?

“Home sweet home”

Writing 101, Day Three: Home

Other places are the best
They let you forget all the rest
But when I am away
I know I shouldn’t stay
Something deep inside me
A small voice with a plea
A soft whisper only for myself
Telling it is time for a farewell
Leaving the new place I must
Before the settling of the dust
Because

“There really is no place like home”

Sunset in November (SL WEEK 18)

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY and in honour of the month of November
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Sunset

“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.” Richard Paul Evans

Sunset in November

The start of November
Surely, it will be a month to remember
Sunsets most gorgeous
Twice now in as many days

Sky painted in various colours
Shape shifting clouds in abundance
Admiring the beauty of nature’s wonders
For a while only, but what seems like hours

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Blue Moment

That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…

…A natural true blue

“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall” J.R.R. Tolkien

Nightfall, City Lights

The soft coloured city lights
Reflecting on the water
In the darkened nights
Of the month of October

Standing on the pier
No one else is near
Reflecting the day’s events
Before I finally relent

And start my journey home

“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 One

An other week started
Living in it full hearted
Caught by the blue moment
In the early morning hours
Much to my enjoyment
It gave me super powers

Working through the days
Enjoying the evening haze
The sunsets and the darkness
With promises
Of a new tomorrow

Another Early Morning Sunrise; A Late Night Sunset

Another Early Morning Sunrise; A Late Night Sunset

Another Early Morning Sunrise

After the stormy weather and pouring rain
The sun came out to play again
The early October morning, day called Monday
It seems I can start calling it my fun day

A Late Night Sunset

The eve was about to set
I was once again treated
With a another gorgeous sunset
Today, on this Monday
One of the last days of October

The End of Colour

“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt” William Allingham

The End of Colour

This is the end of colour
Of the pain and sorrow!
The October rain
Finally came
Lashed down the leaves
Now it’s just heaps
Of gray on the ground
No colour to be found
It is the end of colour

Another Moon in October

“When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator” Mahatma Gandhi

Another Moon in October

Close to a full moon
It will be here soon
The circle almost complete
The view an utter treat

The white, bright globe
Almost like a strobe
Up, up there high
In the dark night sky

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it”
George A. Moore

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia

When you travel around the world, how many times upon return have you commented: “Well, that was fun, but home sweet home!”
Today a trip of a different kind
It’s surprising what you can find
When stepping, outside your door
Amazing, what beauty to score

The grass may be greener
On the other side of the fence
But sometimes you may be keener
To save a few more cents

Pick up the pace and lift your feet
Wander down your home street
The mundane soon turns to treasure
Leaving you with feelings of pleasure

So when not in Rome
Safe in home sweet home
