What a Mess

I like it.

Earth apples

Getting curious I dug up the first potatoes.
Looks as if we're going to have a fine harvest.

The Snail's Dream*

A snail, who had a way, it seems,
Of dreaming very curious dreams,
Once dreamed he was – you'll never guess! –
The Lightning Limited Express!

* from The Bashful Earthquake & Other Fables and Verses
by Oliver Herford [1863-1935]; New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1898

Laughing Lhursday*




. . . and in front of me. :)
 * [For first time visitors]: 
Typo in the title?
Nah. It's just that I would not let
a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Siesta in Seanhenge

A dead dragonfly?
Nah. Just having siesta
on the green grass of Seanhenge.

Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! :)



Belle nuit, ô nuit d’amour
Souris à nos ivresses
Nuit plus douce que le jour
Ô,belle nuit d’amour!
Le temps fuit et sans retour
Emporte nos tendresses
Loin de cet heureux séjour
Le temps fuit sans retour
Zéphyrs embrasés
Versez-nous vos caresses
Zéphyrs embrasés
Donnez-nous vos baisers!
Vos baisers! Vos baisers! Ah!
Belle nuit, ô, nuit d’amour
Souris à nos ivresses
Nuit plus douce que le jour,
Ô, belle nuit d’amour!
Ah! souris à nos ivresses!
Nuit d’amour, ô, nuit d’amour!
Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!


Lovely night, oh, night of love
Smile upon our joys!
Night much sweeter than the day
Oh beautiful night of love!
Time flies by, and carries away
Our tender caresses for ever!
Time flies far from this happy oasis
And does not return
Burning zephyrs
Embrace us with your caresses!
Burning zephyrs
Give us your kisses!
Your kisses! Your kisses! Ah!
Lovely night, oh, night of love
Smile upon our joys!
Night much sweeter than the day
Oh, beautiful night of love!
Ah! Smile upon our joys!
Night of love, oh, night of love!
Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!

Friday is Skyday [112]

All my sarcasm
does not fit in a haiku.
The peace of the night.

On the Road

I hear Mr Putin is a peaceloving human being.
Well, and Mr Obama even "won" the Peace Nobel Price.
What a wonderful planet I am inhabiting.
