“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins
August Skies
Blue, darker, black
White, grayer, black
The days are getting shorter
The sunlight but a quarter
The clouds gathering
Soon the sun capturing
More rain to be expected
Into our souls reflected
In the August skies
The truth lies
The summer’s end

“In August most of Europe goes on holiday” Tony Visconti
August Rain
The light droplets of rain
Falling onto the open plane
The air cool and crisp
The wind but a wisp
The nature lush and green
Everything new and clean

“August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I’ve been listening to in the late spring and summer” Henry Rollins
August Nature
The last warm days
Before the cold rains
It is time to prepare
But do not despair
Summer may be ending
The nature surely changing
Soon it will be autumn
But the colours
Will be awesome

“Winter is coming” George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
A Winter’s Tale
When stepping outside
Much to surprise
A freezing wind
Is greeting your skin
Rubbing your eyes
Hoping, only lies
But, waking to reality
Accepting the actuality
A cover of white
May be a delight
After the lush of green
You have seen
All summer long
Trying to stay strong
It’s here to stay
Pushing away
The slowly creeping
Sinking feeling
Don’t get bitter
It’s only winter

Around the World in Black and White, Second Edition
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins
Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise
Enjoying the island life
Dancing to a flute or a fife
Whether a history buff
Or a hang loose beach bum
Rhodes is the place enough
To make you wanna hum

“Nothing but blue skies from now on…”
Blue Skies
Today
A display
Up in the sky
I saw the light
Shining so bright
Feeling high
A big smile
On my face
In this place
Where bliss
Exists

“But first, lemme take a selfie!”
Selfie
Strike a pose
Make sure it shows
Put on your face
Oddest of expressions
Trying doing it with grace
And leaving an impression
Click, click and click
Don’t forget the selfie stick
Camera at arm’s length
Can be a feat of strength
Save, crop send
To the social media trend
Sitting and waiting
For likes
How long is it taking?
I wasn’t faking
But yikes
And holy sh-t!
They really liked it!

“Another night, another shift, in the moonlight filled lift”
Moonlighting
Sitting down, typing
Part from the moon lighting
The room is pitch black
The rhythmic clickety-clack
On the laptops keyboard
Possibly the only chord
Which can be heard
In this very absurd
But well known scene
With too much caffeine
Trying to cross the finish line
And meet the deadline
Feeling much like a slob
Even if an unpaid job
Still keeping on writing
Despite only moonlighting
