“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”

Delphi

Two, standing tall
The one, very small
Statues
Of different statures

“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”
Matsuo Basho

Delphi

The world resting on one’s shoulders
Just get a good grip and try to hold it there

Textures for Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday : Photography /Poetry /Humour

“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

Textures for Mundane Monday

textures-1

Textures in white and grey
Made of stone, so not to fade
Others only a while stay
Before slowly melting away

Possibly, by the human kind
If the owner you try to find
Then be prepared for quite the ride!

Seat Sunday (27.11.2016) one

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte

Concrete Bench 

Even a bench
Made out of concrete
Will still help you
Get off of your feet!

The Dame and the White Cat for Caturday

Posted in Caturday: Tale, Mystery and Humour

“When all candles be out, all cats be grey” John Heywood

The Dame and the White Cat for Caturday

The dame with her white cat
Stepped in for a quick chat
Sat down and whisked off her hat
Ordered a coffee with milk non-fat

“Good evening dearie”

She said leering

“Nice weather we are having this evening”

That was all she said
Her conversation dropping dead
Just quietly sipping the beverage
As if looking for a leverage

I stood there staring
The silence more than unbearing
Wondering ‘what or who was this stranger
Were we all in danger?’

As if reading my mind
The lady put down the cup
And finally looked up
And with smile made of kind

She stated matter of factually

“I need more cats!”

As ipso facto, this was actually
A store, where one could purchase such things
