On the Streets of Vienna for World Wide Wednesday

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel

On the Streets of Vienna

Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

You may not be as pretty as Sienna
Or even as hot as High Sierra
But we still love ‘ya
We really really love ‘ya

Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

Your old town feel
Some of it real
The others can’t steal
Don’t worry,
We made that deal

Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

Spare Parts for The Daily Post

“Resistance is futile” The Borg, Star Trek

Spare Parts

Call me a robot
Because with these cool parts
I frequently strut
I prefer cyborg
Or possibly a Trek Borg
Founding my own .org
Because of the metal
Made my body special
And now,
Ascending to a higher level 😉

“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles” Deborah Norville

Painted Sun

Let’s have a little fun
Paint bright colours over the sun
And the darkness overcome

Over the Railing

Over the railing and
Into the water
Retorted Harry Potter
As he dove underwater

Follow the yellow brick road
Hop like a little green toad
Only then will you be able to crack the code

If you look really carefully

Like a cool blue melody
In front of you will appear

In my eyes

Mundane Monday

“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles” Deborah Norville

Falsified Self-image

The shadow reflected
Not what I expected
Feeling disconnected
Somehow misrepresented

It has to be rejected
And quickly corrected
My true self resurrected
This image perfected

Seat in a hideaway for Seat Sunday

Seat Sunday

“I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society” Henry David Thoreau

Seat in a hideaway for Seat Sunday

In the farthest corner
Of the suburbian border
A secret garden resides
Far away from prying eyes
Seek it and maybe you will find
A tranquil respite for a while
