October Saturday, Part One

Finally, weekend
Truly a godsend
A time to enjoy and relax
Lift your feet up and chillax

But, being my usual self
Could not just sit down
Grabbed the camera from the shelf
And ran down town

Sunlight on Saturday
Watching the shadows play
Colours of leaves in abundance
The birds and flies doing a dance

Sun warming the air
Not a time to despair
The cold and damp weather
Replaced by light and high pressure

Just another Tuesday

“I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday” Jack Warner

Just another Tuesday

Early wake up call
Sets the rolling of the ball
Day is about to begin
Also for this Finn
Driving into traffic
Nothing too terrific
Reaching the office
Exchanging a little gossip
And having a mild smirk
Before diving into work

When the lunch bell tolls
It is time to haul
That rigid body for a break
And knock out the aches
Leave that work console
Go on a little stroll
Down by the pier
The sunlight revere
Survey your surroundings
Before returning to the boundaries
Of the office

“Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance” Carl Sandburg

Leaves of October

The leaves of colour
Soon but shadows
Slowly fading away
In the October rain

Autumn leaves
Falling down
From the trees
On to the ground

The winds are soon
But a silent whisper
As the leaves bloom
Out of existence

Sunny Days in October Part One

Rain, rain, rain
And some more rain
But, wait… what?
Today, no rain?

Surprisingly sunny
To the point of funny
The air soft and warm
I could have sworn
It was late summer
But oh bummer

I wasn’t grinning
Because,
It was the beginning
Of October

“School,
Effort, and
Play.
Trying your best
Each hour of the day,
Making new friends,
Being good as you can
Exciting discoveries,
Reading books with a friend.”
– Boni Fulgham

September in Suburbia, Part Five

Sunshine and soft rain
Raindrops falling on the lane
The nature lush and green
More alive than ever seen
The colours in full glow
Red, orange and yellow
Waiting for the rainbow
Soon enough to follow
