I’d never write at all”

Two Year Anniversary on WordPress

Today, it has been two years since I started my blog Rantings of a Third Kind here on WordPress.

“A poem a day keeps the shrink at bay”, is a great guideline to follow and it is has been working for me at least!

My advice, in case you asked, to all you bloggers and wanna be writers out there, is to set yourself some time aside each day and if nothing else, pour your mind flow onto the paper or as it is in these modern days, in bits and bytes. I know this may sound like cliched advice, but it’s better to force yourself to a routine of writing rather than postponing it for one reason or another. I know there are always excuses as to why not, but in the end, if you have a passion for writing, the excuse are just that – excuses. And do not be afraid to publish, good or bad, it’s all good in the end.

Rock and a Hard Place

Posted in Simply Poetry

“If there is a wrong time and a place, I’ll be there!”

Rock and a Hard Place

rock

I was stuck
Between a rock
And a very hard place
Wondering
Should I go
Or should I stay

If I go
Will it be slow?
If I stay
Will I end up
In dismay?

Which ever I choose
Something I may loose

But, what if,
Instead
Looking ahead
The constant flow
Of the middle road
Just taking it easy
And oh so very slow

hard-place

Homage to DeForest Kelley

“I am a doctor, not a magician!” Leonard McCoy

Homage to DeForest Kelley (1920-1999)

I am a doctor, not a doorstop
I can go on nonstop
I am a miracle worker
Maybe even a tearjerker
Concocting cures for all ailments
I have the treatments
No matter if my patients
Be alien or human
Even if the Yeoman
Came down with the flu
I have the cure and the clue
On what to do
So maybe I am a magician
The premium edition
And even that green blooded
Gosh, darn, crud it…Vulcan
Has to admit it
And I am loving every damned minute!

Ambience: The Daily Post (one)

Posted in the Daily Post: Ambience

“The past becomes a texture, an ambience to our present”
Paul Scott

Frozen Lake

The set-up, looking quite fake
With all these, frosted snow flakes
Covering, the frozen lake
It may be a cliche
This, wintery display
But allow me to explain
Then you decide
If this scenery of open wide
Is something you find
Enchanting

Rocky Road (TBT)

“Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown”
Stephen Gardiner

Rocky Road

A sunny day in June
The sea and sky, painted in blue
A view reserved, only for a few

“The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever”
Jacques Yves Cousteau

Reflections

Seen from a bird’s–eye view
Down the watery avenue
Blue and even more blue

Frosted Forest (TBT)

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“Nothing burns like the cold”
George R.R. Martin

Frosted Forest

The snow was slowly floating
The trees with a powdery white cloaking
Like a sugar candy coating
As Mother Nature watched gloating

“Look how pretty I made it!
I don’t care one shit,
If the humans don’t see the fit.

It’s pretty and clean,
Most gorgeous thing they ever seen!

So what if it is freezing cold
And the ever rising wind blows!
Better suck it and enjoy,
For this, is my utter ploy!”

And so the little minions of Earth
Went forth in both fear or mirth
After all, how long could it be before the birth
Of summer

Seaside (TBT)

“Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall,
yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea” Mikhail Lermontov

Seaside

In the far away land
Where ever your camera pans
Seashores covered with sand
Mountains tall will stand
The bluest of seas command
What could be more grand

January in Black and White (one)

“Feeling a little blue in January is normal”
Marilu Henner

January in Black and White

No sense in wasting colour
It won’t get any better or duller
The nature all in monochrome
Like after a white paint bomb

January in Black and White

Window view
With a greyish hue
The night is falling
Bed, calling
Time to turn in
