Optimistic (The Daily Post) Four

Winter?
So what!
I don’t care!
I am feeling
Quite optimistic
Riding my bike
Sitting on a bench
So what if it snows
It’s almost June!

The hustle and bustle
The busy working life
Because I have
Holiday on my mind
And soon it will be time
To unwind

Sunshine on a winter’s day
The nature’s showing a halo
The cold and snow to fade
And soon, it will be May

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence” Helen Keller

Optimistic (The Daily Post) One

Living, breathing, growing
Even if it is still snowing
Bending not breaking
Sometimes shaking
But soon it will be warm
After the cold and storm

Alphabet (The Daily Post)

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Alphabet

This week, let the alphabet be your inspiration: find a string of letters. Try a multi-photo gallery to collect images of single characters. Find some beautiful typography, or look for letters hidden in natural forms. I’m excited to see your ABCs!

“Oh Gravity, Thou Art a Heartless Bitch” – Sheldon Cooper – The Big Bang Theory

Weightless, Two

Gliding across the skies
Between the clouds she flies
Sometimes out loud she cries
But up there, no one hears
Of her fears

Weightless, One

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Weightless

Some of the things that always remind me of gravity include (but are certainly not limited to):
* Dancing all night long after the age of 30.
* Carrying a human baby for more than three minutes.
* News of a plane crash right before I embark on a trip (because that’s when all planes crash).
* Putting on skis for the first time in a couple of years.
* Building blocks. Especially building blocks.

Weightless, One

Wings spread to the widest
When on the wind she rides
Feelings of being fearless
When up in the air she is,
Weightless

Circles of Life (The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge), Sun

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle

“With 2016 officially here, we face forward to take on what’s next. It’s a time of endings and beginnings, so I wanted a broad theme that could be simple, fun, and festive, but also complex and introspective. And so, circle it is.”

“Create around one at least a small circle where matters are arranged as one wants them to be” Anna Freud

Sun

During the early morning hours
Or for the late evening flowers
The big ball of light
Showing its might
Can’t live without it
It lifts up your spirits
To your power we freely submit
Oh sun, sun, sun
No, this is not a pun

Moon

Crescent moon
Full moon
A big white balloon
Wrapped up in a dark cocoon
Silence, the signature tune
Except,
When you are howling
At the moon

From the port window
Flying up high
Up in the blue sky
Close to the exit
Going through the checklist
Just in case…
