“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity” Charles Mingus

Sitting in My usual Place

I was sitting in my usual place today
Watching the clouds changing shape in many ways
Caught up in nature’s gorgeous display
I almost forgot my own part to play
I finally tore myself away for a moment
And snapped a few for your enjoyment

When it Rains it Pours (Repost for TBT)

“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow” Gilbert K. Chesterton

When it Rains it Pours

The rain came down a pouring
The sound loud as roaring
Frozen drops, balls of hail
No time to stop and flail
Pounding hard onto the ground
A safe harbour needs to be found
The nature showing it’s full force
When it rains, then it pours

Part One: Summer

Summer

The colours lush and green
No rain nor snow was seen
On a warm summer’s night
Both stars and skies were bright

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte

Sitting in Cyprus, Part Two

A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

“Because it’s a seat”

Sitting in Cyprus, Part One

A stroll in the heat of summer
Looking for a place to recover
Taverns and restaurants beckoning
A cold drink for thirst lessening

SL WEEK 15: Communications; Hot Gossip

“Say what?”
“I was asking did you hear about Toddy?”
“What about Toddy?”
“I said Toddy got his back burnt badly and was taken to the hospital.”
“Oh, too much sun?”
“Sun?”
“Yes, sun. From laying on the beach?”
“No, I heard it was a cooking accident.”
“Cooking?”
“Yeah, apparently his sausages overboild!”

SL WEEK 13: Four Wheel Drives

In response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of ecology

“You don’t have to invent the wheel, but you might want to be the company that invents the rims” MC Hammer

SL WEEK 13: Four Wheel Drives

Four wheel drives
Of a different kind
Manual propulsion
With a little compulsion
Slowly getting nowhere
And then again, everywhere
Usage from ages zero
To the top one hundred
You can be a hero
Or a little weirdo
As long as you keep pedalling
The flow of adrenaline
Will keep you moving
Your condition improving
Hear the crowds cheering
As you are nearing
The finish line
