Your Interests About

Sitting on the patio,
nowhere to go.
Writing an Ode,
which I'll show,
to no one.

A good friends Mother,
left the World today.
She lived in a Country,
so far away.
a foreign country,
on the Mediterranean Sea.
A beautiful country,
she will no longer see.
Rest in peace, where
you will surely be.

When the World crumbles,
like castles of sand
and the life you know
is not yours to command,
it is the time to stand,
raising your voices up high
and protest. You must,
so, all will know why.
This is your fight.
Do you live or just die?

Run fast
into the wind,
on your
outward bound,
training path.
Run faster
with the
wind on
your back,
as you
return home.

Strap tight the light,
wait until Dawn.
Keeping your composure
for tomorrow and beyond

Rain splatters,
bouncing into
a fine spray.
Freshening air,
night and day.
Liking the Sun,
as I do,
the ground
is dry and
I am
missing you.

Cornelis Theodorus Maria 'Kees' van Dongen (1877 – 1968) Dutch-French painter and one of the Fauves at the controversial 1905 Salon d'Automne exhibition. His style became more and more radical in its use of form and colour.He gained a reputation for his sensuous, at times garish, portraits of especially women.

Broad were the views,
a natural exhibit
of colors of Spring.
Much beauty to see,
as Nature's bling.

Multi-hued skies
reflecting in water, fast.
Rolling colors sparkled,
as the river flowed past.
A rainbow of colors
now on display.
A viewing of Nature's
most dazzling array.
