Summer

The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Transition

For this week’s challenge, share an image that depicts transition. Let life itself be your muse.

Part One: Summer

summer 1

“Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne” Bryan Procter

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

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of communications

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place” George Bernard Shaw

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

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
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

SL WEEK 13: I want to ride my Bicycle

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
In response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of ecology

“Life is like riding a bicycle: you don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling” Claude Pepper

SL WEEK 13: I want to ride my Bicycle

I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride it where I like
Sometimes, even a trike

With this simple vehicle
On a ride so magical
Ever so classical
In today’s world radical
And utterly likeable
Someone said impossible
Even behaviour maniacal
Never mind the icicles
And the cynicals
I just keep on riding on
My bicycle

Walkabout

“See me waving ‘see ya later’ as I disappear over the horizon” Crocodile Dundee

Walkabout

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
Never a moment too bad for a stroll
Do not the weather use
As a poor, poor excuse
Unpack your wellingtons
Unhide your dancing shoes
Into to the wide world venture
Whether walking, running or dancing
Might even do a little prancing
Your life soon a great adventure

Last Days of Summer

Photography and Poetry

Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile De Godoy

 

“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins

Last Days of Summer

The end of August
Time to adjust
To the coming of Fall
No use trying to stall
The cold and rain
Will soon gain
The sun rays are few
Feelings of blue
Until the foliage
In multiple colours
Will brighten the days
Get you out of the haze
And life is bright
Once more
