Flowers of all Ages

Flowers, of all ages
Let them, out of their cages
And into the streets
They will be racing
But, there will be no chasing
To be honest,
I think we are much too lazy
So just sit back
And be content in praising

Flight

The seagull of the hood
Keeping guard over her domain
This may be the concrete wood
But the order must be sustained
If you get too close
Soon enough you will get a doze
On your head or shoulder
It will be quite a boulder
Of the bird’s arsenal
(Not going to the particulars)
So head this warning:
When the seagulls are swarming
Keep you distance
And you may survive the instance!

Amanda

The pretty little lady
Carved out of bronze
Curvy and naked
As cool as the Fonze
Despite over eighty
She’s none too shady

A Whole Lotta Going On

Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!

Quote a Week Tuesday

For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen a little optimistic boost; something we all need once and a while. From one of my favourite authors C.S. Lewis:

“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
C.S. Lewis

Simple for Mundane Monday One

Simple for Mundane Monday

“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbor

Simply Red

Simple it the word
Easily slurred
But for a mundane day
The colour is grey
With a touch of red
Unravelling the thread

Simply Blue

Simple, with blue
Some red in the view
A blurry object
Nothing too perfect
Just something caught in a frame
And for that, you have me to blame

Black and White

Would it be easier
If the world was black and white?
Would it be easier
To distinguish wrong from right?
Instead of fight
Choosing flight?
What if…
Never mind!
It only vintage in my own mind

Ride on a Train

Join me on a joyride
Travelling world wide
Without a tour guide
Learning all with pride
On this vintage train
The trip made not in vane
But much more to gain
Than just driving on the lane
