“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
— Astronomer Carl Sagan
To boldly go where no Woman has gone before
…As the flight progresses
I feel less stressed
What ever awaits me
It only can be
Something wonderful
And most magical
To boldly go
Where no
Woman
Where no one
Has gone
Before

“Well, it’s worked so far, but we are not off yet” Dr McCoy, Star Trek
To boldly go where no Woman has gone before
Cosmos,
The final
Frontier
So far
And yet
So near
Entering the spaceship
Ready for a long trip
Going to Mars?
Or even farther beyond?
Following the stars
Over the magic pond
Through the window
Feelings of alone
One trail of thought
As the mental guide
Trying not to get caught
In a state of confined…

Day Seven: “Glass” — Interact with a Surface
Incorporate a form of glass — a window, a mirror, a wine glass, sunglasses, or something else — in today’s image.
” I hate to burst your bathtub bubbles, baby, but that ain’t just mud down there!”

Down the Drain
“Down the hatch!”,
She said
Snatching the full glass
With one pass
As the liquid poured down
A few trickles on her gown
“What?
Do you really think
I was letting it go to waste?”
Looking at the empty vessel
The content definitely not made by Nestle
Searching for any signs of discomfort
But, on the contrary
She was seemingly triumfant
Offering the glass back to me,
“Be a sweetie:
One more for the road!”
She added with a smile
“One man’s vile
An other woman’s style”,
I thought
Looking at the bottle I had bought
Pouring the glass full again
Thinking to myself,
“Better than pouring it all
Down the drain!”

Happy Birthday Nephew! for SL-Week 51
“Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Jim
Happy birthday to you.”
The Birthday Boy
“Dig into the cake son”
The father urged
His head turned
As the birthday boy
Was about to enjoy
The much deserved treat
Which was definitely not meat
But a juicy summer’s strawberry tart
Made by mom, straight from the heart

The Cake
The aroma of the strawberry cake
We all knew, that was not a fake
It was all done for the sake
Of the birthday celebration on this date

Poetry, Day Three: Friend
* Whether it’s about a time they saved your life or a moment when they disappointed you, write today’s poem about a friend: a person, an animal, or even a fictional character that’s close to your heart. You could also address a group of people, or an object that represents friendship for you.
* Looking to flex your poetic muscles today? Give acrostic a try: it’s a fun poetic form where the first letter of every verse combines to create a word or a message
“Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it” Russell Baker
Awesome Friends (of Summer)
A house sits on the bare island
Waiting for its summer friends
Exited, exhilarated, hoping, that
Soon, they’ll be arriving, from the mainland
On the look out through the lens
Many a lonely days was spent
Eternal fire always burning
For the long awaited to be returning
Rejoicing of the pending arrival
Impatience its only ally
Evening turning to morning
Now, the friend are returning
Damned be all fear
Summer, is finally here

“A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk” Christian Louboutin
Curious Boot for Daily Photo
The mystery shoe
Just out of blue
Popped off the ground
Waiting to be found
Did someone loose it?
Or was it just a loose fit?
And into the ground buried
In quite a hurry?
Now, deep in the forest
Basking in the morning sun
Waiting on the promise
Of tale of it to be spun

Fire in the Sky for SL-Week
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Red Smokey Clouds
Clouds hanging low
Red and thick
The fiery glow
Like a magical trick
The sun is setting
There is no betting
No reading between the lines
If it will rain or shine
Tomorrow

Fire in the Sky for SL-Week
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Fire in the Treeline
The smell of burning wood
Filling the air of the neighbourhood
Ignited by the burning sun
Fires burning until done
Nothing to be done
And nowhere to run…
“Did anyone bring the marshmallows for the roasting then?”

Sinking Sun
The sinking sun
Creating waves
In the horizon
If you brave
Into the water
Then a daughter
In the kingdom
Of mighty Poseidon
Will be your fortune
