“We’ll take the cake with the red cherry on top” Navjot Singh Sidhu

Cherries

Sweet, sweet cherries
The reddest of berries
Picking them
One by one
Licking my fingers
When I’m done

Blue Skies, Poetry and Photography

Photography and Poetry

“Nothing but blue skies from now on…”

Blue Skies

Today
A display
Up in the sky
I saw the light
Shining so bright
Feeling high
A big smile
On my face
In this place
Where bliss
Exists
Today

Sky’s Gray Shroud

Photography and Poetry

“Gray skies are just clouds passing over” Duke Ellington

Sky’s Gray Shroud

Up up high
Grayness, filling the sky
Wrapping it tight
Dark as night
Into a shroud
Filled with clouds

Picnic in July, Finnish style

Poetry and Photography

“In the bible it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. They called it disaster. In Finland we call it summer!”

Picnic in July, Finnish style

Going on a picnic
Come snow, hail or shine
After all, it is still July
Hoping not to get sick
Sitting on the beach
Shivering with cold
The warmth at arms reach
It’s summer I was told
Not time for mission abort
Should not have worn shorts
The rain soon falls
Drops like thick walls
Clothes getting wetter
Running to shelter
Looking for a hide
Getting inside
Cold and wet
And unfed
Cursing and swearing
Of this life unfairing
Looking outside again
Hoping no more rain
What the f…k?
The sun is back up!

Sunrays

Photography and Poetry

“The sun is new each day” Heraclitus

Sunrays

Trying to catch a glimpse
Of the last sun sparkles
Before they shrink
Into complete darkness

Red, Photography and Poetry

Photography and Poetry

“Red is the ultimate cure for sadness” Bill Blass

Red

Seeing red?
Hoping for something else instead?
What can I say
I like to play
Red is red is red
Maybe you should have stayed in bed
So like it or not
Here are the shots

Sepia, Photography and Poetry

Photography and Poetry:  The Clinic /Photo Rehab

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia” Ellen Hopkins

Sepia

The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last

Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart
