“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.”

Framed Ocean View

A perfect hideaway
With a view
Towards the bay
A framed display
Only for today

“Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.” Ursula K. Le Guin

Early Morning on a Saturday for the Daily Post

Too early
Airport calling
Surely
You wouldn’t want to
Miss the flight
It took so long
And one
Sleepless night
To get there
Where ever
You now wanted
To go

Breathe in
Breathe out
Let the morning air
Cool and thin
Hitting your skin
Clear all doubt
For soon
Sea and sun
Will replace
The mundane
And it’s not even
A Monday!
Get the pun?

morning

In the sun
Bring on

Because, today
Nothing
Get’s done
Because,
Today is
Reserved
Only for
Fun

Poetry, Day Ten: Future

Could it be our last day of Intro to Poetry already?! Let’s keep our spirits up by focusing on whatever it is that’s coming next. Whether it’s about tomorrow, next October, or the year 2345, let today’s poem be inspired by your vision of the future. (Fears, hopes, and plans are equally acceptable, of course. As are robots!)

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves” William Shakespeare

Road to Nowhere 

The future
Now uncertain
When removed is
The safety curtain

No time
For bloopers
Nor reruns
Used is
The last dime
For a trip
To the sun

First
Summer
Then fall
No bummer
Just a ball
Future
Unfolds

We are
On a road
To nowhere
Travelling fast
Forgetting
The past
It would not
Have lasted
Anyway

Future
Unknown
Or so
We were told
Never mind
Just be kind
Your place
You will find

Past, present
All in imperfect
Time still
Well spent

Now
Heads up
Finish
Your cup
Legs, arms
Tucked inside
Let the slide
Your way
Down guide

Narrow for The Daily Post

“They say it is a wide road that leads to war and only a narrow path that leads home again.”
Bob Massie

Narrow Surface

Tiptoeing
On this narrow stick
Easy going
Because, it really
Is not so thick!

Gate

“Open the gate!
Open the gate!”

The crowd went wild
Like a petulant child
The boat was arriving
No time for driving

“Got to get on board!
Because I left my Ford
On the docks
And it’s locked!”

And finally
To borrow a quote,
On a slow boat
To meet my privacy

Light at the end of the Tunnel

Every tunnel
Has its light
At the end
Of the funnel

Luxury Flat

Stuck between
A rock
And a hard place
– That’s
The flat
She stays in

Peep Hole

When you look inside
Try not to get stuck
Because you never know
What you may find!

Sweet Cherries for The Daily Post

“Life is not a bowl full of cherries, there’s good and bad stuff” Fuzzy Zoeller

Sweet Cherries 

Juicy and sweet
Quite the treat
When on the beat
In the summer’s heat
And well worth
The tweet
