Homage to Sigourney Weaver

“It’s such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out” Sigourney Weaver

Homage to Sigourney Weaver, Happy Birthday

Titillating, luscious, sexy
Statuesque, stately, leggy

Just a few adjectives to describe
An actress quite divine

Drama, comedy, horror
Sometimes even the explorer

Quite the knack for science fiction
Up to the point of fans’ addiction

The queen of all queens
Our one and only Sci-Fi Queen

On this day of celebration
Thanking you for your dedication

What more is there to say
But a very Happy Birthday

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Mallorca Part Three, Odds and Ends

Taking a ride on a train
On this island of Spain
Driving down a narrow lane
Watching the local terrain
Sun is shining, no rain
Sipping on champagne
Feeling very entertained
Passing the mountain chain
And the flattest of plains
There is nothing mundane
About this trip across the domain

Blue Moment

“There’s never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same” Carlos Santana

Blue Moment

That silent moment
Between sunset
And complete darkness
The blue moment
Sets, before the sun

October Day in Suburbia

Photography and Poetry

“The fallen leaves in the forest seemed to make even the ground glow and burn with light” Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry To Gabriola

October Day in Suburbia

The sun was beckoning
Behind the closed window shades
The outside warm and welcoming
Blue skies and colours splayed
On the tableau drawn by nature
Quite the creator
Of beauty and awe
Almost dropped my jaw
When I stepped outside
And stared with pride
