“Traveling – it leaves you speechless,
then turns you into a storyteller.”
– Ibn Battuta
Verbania Revisited for World Wide Wednesday
Sailing the gorgeous lakes of Italy
Watching the clouds filling the sky to affinity…
But not time for the weary
When the land is getting too neary
The Captain yelling “Virata!”
Better do, as he says,
Or you’ll end up singing in “castrata”!

“The poetry of the earth
is never dead.”
John Keats
Quote a Week Tuesday
For this week’s quote, for us poetry lovers:
“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens
with real toads.”
Marianne Moore

Mundane, Photography, Poetry and 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
Escalator
Living life in the mall’s simulator
When riding up and down the escalator
Keeping control, like an operator
From ride to ride, like a navigator
Each passenger, like an imitator
Step by step, feet moving like alternators
Sorry,
No wheels said the administrator
Or you will be labelled a violator
And thrown off from this cycle
Phew, just glad I was not a skater
Maybe sooner, than later
He’ll quit being a hater
Learn how to become a collaborator
And only then,
Be able to ride on the escalator

“I’m 43.
I’m not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet”
Damien Hirst
A Royal Seat for Seat Sunday
Fitted for royalty in this suite
I am rooted in this mighty seat
Comfortable from teeth to feet
Existence now complete
This certainly was a worthy treat
And most certainly worth the tweet!
Posted in Caturday/National Cat Day: Photography, Poetry, Song and Humour
“Time spent with cats is never wasted” Sigmund Freud
Happy National Cat Day!
Happy with my kitty
So I wrote this little ditty
Why don’t you sing along
To the tune of this familiar song
Soft kitty, warm kitty
Purring on my lap
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty
Why don’t I too take a nap
My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer

“A black cat crossing your path:
Usually signifies,
that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx
Black Cat for Caturday
Sleepy eyes
Still a spy
In this house
Maybe a mouse?
‘Oh that louse
Will not escape
My scrape!
No, not this time
No, that would be
A big crime!’

“A black cat crossing your path:
Usually signifies,
that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx
Black Cat for Caturday
Alert, awake
Nothing would shake
The determination
Not leaving this station
For any reason
Except,
For the hunting season
After all,
Next night fall
Will be
Halloween

“A black cat crossing your path:
Usually signifies,
that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx
Black Cat for Caturday
Do not disturb
The sleeping cat
Or a big hurt
Is a matter of fact!

“A black cat crossing your path:
Usually signifies,
that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx
Black Cats for Caturday
On patrol,
Sneaking around
Like trolls
When night falls
On this eve of all hallows
Soon the beast swallows
Its prey
Oh, you can only pray
It
Won’t
Be
You!

Shine for The Daily Post
An unusual event
Over suburbia manifested
A late afternoon halo effect
Painted a glowy silhouette
