Animals for the Daily Post 

Can’t live without them
That much can be said of ’em
But, if you tried
Realized, it soon got quiet
And, when a new one
Into your home comes
Life restored
And no one is bored
Pets, animals
We are all manimals!

Face in the Window for Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday #80
Photography /Poetry 

“Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored”
David Byrne

Face in the Window for Mundane Monday

A painted face
For a while stays
Staring
From the window
Just because,
It has no where else to go

“Haven’t you felt a peculiar sort of worry about the chair in your living room that no one sits in?”
Nicholson Baker

A Seat Poolside

poolside-2b

Sitting by the turquoise liquid
Can be very addictive
No mere alcohol
Can make you fall
Like the blue waters
Without any borders
Sitting poolside
With a thin wall to divide

Poolside
It cannot be denied
You may be cool or a louse
But just get out of the house
And into the pool!

Poolside
It cannot be denied
The best seats in the house
So bring your friends and spouse

Sitting by the turquoise liquid
Can be very addictive
No mere alcohol
Can make you fall
Like the blue waters
Without any borders
Sitting poolside
With a thin wall to divide

“Like cats and dogs they say,
When the two mixed are at play”

Caturday: Mr Diesel with Vänster the Cat 

Feeling my pockets
My eyes almost popping out of their sockets
I felt the burning notes
In the pockets of my coat

“Fine, deal me in”
I said
Feeling the heat on my cheeks and chin
As the cards were laid
And I knew I would either get paid
Or loose my shirt off!
