Up the River

Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver

Ship Ahoy!

Ship ahoy!
This is not a ploy
But the real McCoy
We even invited Floyd
And now,
We are ready to deploy
On a trip of joy!

Anticipation for the Daily Post

Lift-Off

With growing anticipation
Waiting to leave this station
Without any hesitation
Travelling across the nation
In one big celebration

But…

“What is the hold up?
We are ready for lift off!”

“No matter how far a person can go
the horizon is still way beyond you”
Zora Neale Hurston

Finding a Safe Harbour

Sailing, at sea
Is the place to be
But when the storm rises
You may end up in crisis
Unless, a safe harbour in time
You are lucky, to find

Blue on Blue

“Nothing but blue skies,
From now on”

Was the message of the song
Nope, you did not hear me wrong
Just stay strong
Summer and blue skies,
Will soon come along

Rays of the Sun

From behind the darkest of grey
The light source, found it’s way
Happiness, riding down in a sleigh
On a heavenly, highway

The Glow

“Peek-a-boo
I see you!”

Said,
The little ray of sun
As she came down
For some fun

“Are you looking for someone?”

Asked,
The palm
But remained calm
Despite the touch of sun
Feeling like balm

The ray of sun smiled
And replied,

“I’m here to play
But cannot too long stay
If there is one thing I have learnt
Things do get burnt
If I remain too long
Because no one
Is that strong”

“That’s cool,
And I’m no fool
I went to school!
And, if it gets too hot
I can dip in the pool”

The palm responded
And before too long
The two, had bonded

Something Arising, in the Horizon

Something strange?
Something scary?
Is the world, about to change?
Better get ready!

Fire in the Sky

The sky is red
The sea is blue

Conundrum for the Daily Post (four)

Posted in the Daily Post: Conundrum : Photography /Poetry /Humour

“Conundrum: A fun word to repeat over and over again when no one’s listening.
Actual meaning is as puzzling as the need to chant the word.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

The Puzzle

If you want to solve this puzzle
Just flex your little muscles
Maybe do a little shuffle
Then blow a few bubbles
If you end up in trouble
A few steps back stumble
Do not try to hustle
Skip across the puddle
Let out a small chuckle
Loosen that belt buckle
There; now you solved the puzzle
