“Travelers repose and dream among my leaves” William Blake

World Wide Wednesday Presents: London, Part Two

Over the rooftops
To the hustle and bustle
Of the streets of London
In just a few hops
A few old castles
And a famous dungeon
Hop on a bus
Without much fuss
Follow the lines
And you’ll be fine
Eyes wide open
Seeing more than hoping
In the evening
You are dreaming
Of how much more
The next day has in store

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train” Oscar Wilde

World Wide Wednesday Presents: London, Part One

Rain, rain, rain
Running down the drain
Around in the City of London
Without the feeling of boredom
Too many things to see
Face lit up with a glee
Never mind the sad bad weather
My skin is made of thick leather
A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

“Even for me life had its gleams of sunshine” Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Basking in the Sun (Daily Photo 2015-12-28)

The working day has begun
Must admit it, just no fun
Looking out the window
Seeing cold weather and snow

Just for a moment
My mind wanders
Back to holidays
Back to the time
When I was
Basking in the sun

Dolls (Mundane Monday)

Poetry and Photography
Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #39

dolls
“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch

Dolls (Mundane Monday)

Eyes staring
Almost glaring
Never moving
Only viewing

Toward the future?
Or into the past?

No one knows
What on goes
In a doll’s mind
Just be kind

You may be surprised
Or even, hypnotized

They may be mundane
Objects d’art even
Dolls in the window
But no one really knows

“Take a load off”

Time Out (Seat Sunday)

Sitting silently
Watching
People pass by
I ama
Out of time
Floating
In a bubble
As I am sitting
On my bench
Watching
Life happen
Trying
Not to flinch

I am soft
But I have thorns
I feel pretty
In my pink colours
I am hard
Watch out!
Better not land
On my rocks

Christmas Celebration in a Different Style (Daily Photo 2015-12-27)

It’s a bike?
It’s a trike?
No, it’s a Super bike!

Three wheels
Check out
How it feels
Ride a trike
It’s just like a bike
Only much more
Fun!

“The skies are falling down on us!”

Christmas Celebration in a Different Style (Daily Photo 2015-12-26)

Spin that bottle
In full throttle
The ceiling covered
With all sorts of bottles
Blue and white
Shining so bright
Who ever told us
The skies would fall upon us
Failed to mention
The bottles were fastened
Into the ceiling!

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015-12-25

This week I would like to share a photo which was actually not yet posted on my blog, rather only on Instagram. I have been trying to stay off my blog during this holiday week and take some time off during my short stay in the gorgeous island of Lanzarote, but it seems the blog has a will of its own and keeps whispering in my ear to post 😉

There was a special moment up in the sky this week in Puerto del Carmen, which I would like to share with you all. A flashy light kind of a thing (call it a UFO if you will :p) appeared from out of nowhere and stayed a while. It seemed to be shooting a light beam into the sun and making it shine even brighter, if possible. I managed to snap this photograph with my mobile phone while peddling in the pool; lucky shot I guess!

Enjoy!

Fabulous Friday 2015-12-25

Rocking around
The Christmas pool
Having a happy holiday!

The sun above
Up in the sky
Shining all so bright
On this gorgeous day!

It’s a Fabulous Friday!

No elves, reindeer
Nor Santa in sight
They must have
Taken a flight
Either to
The North Pole
Or maybe even
Hitting the pool!

Never mind
Where they are
They couldn’t have gone
Much too far

The holiday tree
Is set for thee
Maybe even
Something free

Happy Holidays and a Fabulous Friday,
One and All!
