“Something about this, time of the year, this, fall, autumn, whatever it’s called, it’s so, gorgeous!” Gun Roswell
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 at the scene in front of me with pride
“It’s a colour of shock, perhaps, but it’s also very pretty, so why not wear it?!” Gun Roswell
The colour pink It’s more than just ink It may be a chosen lifestyle Or just some clothes in a pile Don’t put me on a file Just because for a while I chose to wear the colour Stay out late and holler Wearing a short skirt A well earned perk Naturally, all in pink And very much in sync The illusion complete To everyone send this tweet “She is off her rocker Oh what a shocker” And with that, my job here is done! And I had so much fun!
“it’s just a month, nothing more, the turning of the year, the seasonal change, weather more likely, so just, deal with it?” Gun Roswell
Little if no sunlight Feeling the urge of flight Looking through windows Outside tall shadows Cold weather gracing us With minus degrees Celsius Colours quickly a fading The nature slowly graying
October or sobbtober Surely nothing to rock over You followed September Surely, a month to remember
But, as life always has a twist Therefore I must insist This time, this October Was truly a rocktober
With sunshine in abundance And colours of substance So far nothing to complain about No time for doubt or pout Both spirit and camera uplifted With feelings of being gifted With a beautiful October
“There is still sunshine left in all of us, even during this time of… fall.” Gun Roswell
“The sun is shining, on the other side, over there, across the sea, somewhere else but definitely not here“
There is sunshine, on the other side, the proof delivered by a witness, who dared to peek through the curtain, and then, after seeing the miracle, snapped the picture, as proof!
As of now, the summer is officially over, as September has just reared is ugly head and instead of getting a cooling down situation outside, the plummet in daily temperatures, not to mention all the down pour, has definitely not left any of us scored.
So, even after complaining about the whole too warm summer time, having lasted for such a short while, the winter season is upon, the sunshine, the warmth the greens, all but gone.
Luckily though, in the dreams and pictures, some of it can be relived, when huddling down frozen cold because of as was foretold, it is the season of rain and behold, soon enough – snow!
“Frozen in time and space, that, is the perfect place” Gun Roswell
Solid like a rock, frozen from bottom to top Icy, cannot slice it, no matter which way you dice it Petrified for ever, a work of art quite clever Made in Winter, by Mother Nature, a new creature, of its kind
Decorating the snowy white field With its transparent cold shield Nothing can defeat it, beat it It will remain there until the very end… … after the rest of us are already spent
You were smiling Feeling charming And quite beguiling The sun was shining This was supposed to be A great day For a song or a play
But then it turned out to be Something else completely It turned out to be One of *those days* Struck you in the face Run over like a ten ton truck And disappear without a trace
What the fuck? Feeling like a schmuck Completely out of luck Standing in the rain Without an umbrella Almost going insane And not from singing a cappella
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing” Benjamin Franklin
I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t writing.
I did my first “screenplay” at the age of five with crayons and forced my whole family to watch the Christmas play I wrote, produced an ven acted in too! Later in my teens, I started writing fan fiction for my favourite shows on television, way before the internet, fan fiction as such and even personal computers were invented. I loved the weekly challenges for writing in school and of course, I was a book junkie too.
Writing for me has been sporadic at best and I mostly consider myself a closet writer. I am in the closet, out of the closet, back in and now finally out again, publishing on the internet as much and as often as humanly possible 😉
I am also a poet, and did not know it: True in many ways, as I write from anything and everything. My inspiration can be a phrase I heard on the lift ride or something from the morning radio. Mainly, these days, I get inspired from the pictures I take.
For me, personally, writing is an creative outlet for the mundane working day. If I do not write, I am be a very, very, very cranky person ;P
My motto is: A poem a day, keeps the mental doctor away! The second motto is: Write more, complain less!
“it might be raining even storming, but it’s all good for the soil not to mention nature.” Gun Roswell
Thunder and lightning Onto the ground striking The stormy weather Bringing hail and rain Forget the touch of the feather No more dreams of the sunny Time to wake up honey We are not in Spain Anymore…
“I may just be an optimist, but I always pack my wellies no matter the weather!” Gun Roswell
You beautiful lovelies My sweet red Wellingtons Luckily I wasn’t swayed By those tempting sandals I would have been betrayed When the rain came pouring down Hopeless without my crown Puddles all over the ground No safe harbour to be found Taking a small step Anticipating the get wet But to my surprise You saved my life!
