January 2017 for Daily Photo (one)

“You can’t party all the time –
especially in January!”
Neon Hitch

January 2017 

If you are really smart
Today,
You’ll get a fresh clean start
Gone is the darkness
It might have been harmless
But caused a lot of anguish

From onward of this date
With the fresh clean slate
Hold your head up high
Look far into the sky

But heed this fair warning;
Or else, you may get stung
Because, onto your tongue
A snowflake, may be landing!

The Turn of the Year

Posted in Holiday Celebration

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right”
Oprah Winfrey

The Turn of the Year

Colourful burst of light
Against the darkness
Of the night
The clocks are churning
The new year is turning
Time for a new hope
And a new future

Snow Day for Daily Photo (three)

Posted in Daily Photo: Photography, Poetry

“And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind,
and all the land will be mantled with snow”
Roy Bean

Snow Day 

Still growing strong
After a very long
Cold and hard winter
“Ha, you said you were going to be the splinter
But we won this sprint eih!”

and all the land will be mantled with snow”

Snow Day 

The wind
But a whisper
In the winter’s shiver
When crossing
The frozen river

“And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind,
and all the land will be mantled with snow”
Roy Bean

Snow Day 

Huddled together
Without a tether
In this freezing weather
They are still glued
To each other

New Beginnings

“The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book,
waiting to be written.
We can help write that story by setting goals”

Out with the old, in with the new
May all your dreams, hopes and wishes
For the year 2017 come true!

So wishing:
Happy New Beginnings to One and All!

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bread and Circuses aka Happy New Year!

Bread and Circuses
For any and all purposes
Lights and fireworks
Maybe with some quirks

No time to waste
It is time to celebrate
Let us all unite
Leave our differences, aside

The New Year
We hail
Following
A different trail
Past and present
Already spent
To the future
From now on
We all ascend

“And now we welcome the new year.
Full of things that have never been”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Last Friday of 2016

Bright light
Lighting up
The polar night
Sooner than later
It will be day light
And maybe, an alligator?

“It’s about bloody time!”
I cried

And luckily,
The New Year
Is almost here

Rainer Maria Rilke

Last Friday of 2016

Frosty Elves
Shitting, on my shelves
Something smells

“Oh, hell
No need to dwell
I am doing well”

Because,
The New Year
Is almost here

“And now we welcome the new year.
Full of things that have never been”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Last Friday of 2016

The day
Dark and dreary
The house is quiet
The holiday lights
Bringing, some cheer
Opening a beer
My face in a leer

“Oh, never mind,
Time to unwind”

Because,
The New Year
Is almost here
