Wednesday in October Part Two: Evening
The evening falls
The sun is setting
Soon it is time to crawl
Into the bedding
But before that
Taking a few snaps
Of the setting sun

Wednesday in October Parts One, Day Time
Type, type, type
Work, work, work
Finally, a break
Looking out the window
The sun beckoning
Stepping outside
Half way through the door
Something hits me
Like a lightning
It’s cold outside now
It’s after all, October
Time to put a coat on
Stepping out, first step…
But wait!
Don’t forget the camera!
“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” Susan Sontag

The evening filled
With colourful lights
Cool wind chilled
Time to head inside
The Aquarium a choice
Listening to sealife’s voice
Sharks swimming in tanks
Where a ship had sank
Luminescent jellyfish
But not served as a dish
Enjoying the night life
Of this little town in south

“I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday” Jack Warner
Just another Tuesday
Early wake up call
Sets the rolling of the ball
Day is about to begin
Also for this Finn
Driving into traffic
Nothing too terrific
Reaching the office
Exchanging a little gossip
And having a mild smirk
Before diving into work
When the lunch bell tolls
It is time to haul
That rigid body for a break
And knock out the aches
Leave that work console
Go on a little stroll
Down by the pier
The sunlight revere
Survey your surroundings
Before returning to the boundaries
Of the office

“There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope” Bernard Williams
Sunrise, Blue Skies
Early morning crisp
The wind but a soft whisp
Sky of the brightest blue
Presenting the greatest view
Sunlight’s reflections of red
Painted across the shed
The night’s icy reminder
Glittering on the ground
Soon the day much kinder
And a feeling more profound

“Once I overcame breast cancer, I wasn’t afraid of anything anymore” Melissa Etheridge
No Bra Day; Set your Tata’s free
Boobs, Mounds, Titties, Cha-chas
Hooters, Globes, Bosom, Tatas
What a stigmata
Even a few sonatas
Written for the female breasts
That tantalizing heaving chest
But today is a reminder
That they kind of
Have a limited warranty
Which comes with a guarantee
For a regular maintenance cycle
Because this is one product
You cannot recycle
So with that knowlegde
Schedule your appointment
To avoid any unnecessary ointments
Let’s all celebrate today
With a great big hooray
Your face in an impish glee
Set your Tata’s free
Just for today

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday
“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill
Mundane Monday
Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

October Sunrise
… The longer you stare
Into the bright glare
The red gets in control
Devouring the sky whole

October Sunrise
Sunrise, higher than high
In the early October sky
Over the morning clouds
The sun has spread its shroud
Blues and reds playing in a mix
Eyes staring completely transfixed
The cool crisp air caressing
Almost feels like singing…
