Grandfather Troll

Grandfather Troll

There he sits on top of the hill.

Looking down on the world.

Frown and sighs over the state it’s in.

Is there hope for the coming generations.

Will the troll children ever taste a glas of beer.

Better a troll in the forest than one in cyber space, ha de Gött!

Autumn colors

Autumn colors

tone from green
yellow and red
gust chilly wind
gently single down
birds formation fly
far away land
left behind
on the ground
fade and dry
yellow parchment
wind tossed
in shorter days

I wrote this to the autumn, inspired by the colorful leaf. Forming the words, I realized it was about me being left behind. Some days you just feel like a fading leaf, ha de Gött!

Flowing water

Flowing water

Free flowing water to the ocean. Just to be pushed up again.

In a wave powered by the wind. So it moves up and down.

Slowly grinding the rock. Grinding it to a smooth, bare surface.

Persistent alga holds fast. Green shelter for the ocean nursery.

We are 60% water. Pollute it, we pollute ourselves, ha de Gött!

Water Rings

Water Rings

Rings on the water, a brief moment alone
Expanding rings connect, overflow and gone
Tossed in to the world, flat stone slightly curved
Flying elegantly with a bounce, one, two, three, four, five
Then sink to be sunk, stone bound to take a dive

Sometimes on a Monday evening those moments just appears, ha de Gött!

Adam Ant

Adam Ant

Adam the adventures ant
Left with a bold chant
Walked out the anthill
Fearlessly into the evening chill
Strongest of animals I am
Six times my size, god damn
He ran out of luck
Six legs was stuck
Had to succum'
To a chewing gum

You never know what to ant-icipate, ha de Gött!

Fungus

Fungus

Like a family of little yellow gnomes, popping out of the decaying oak tree root.

Safely hidden in the fading autumn green leafs, reaching out for the eluding sun.

With yellow hats and casual collars, curiously sniffing the fresh chilly evening air.

Mycel safely connected to the root, signaling celebration their biodiversity flair.

I have not been able to find out what the name is these are, but they are beautiful still. Ha de Gött!

Shadow

Shadow

Sometimes feel
like a shadow
a fraud
bleak reflection of
the beautiful and 
bright
against the wall
but sometimes
in the setting 
autumn sun
the shadow
is the center
center of the stage

We all depend upon the sun, ha de Gött!

Procrastinator

Procrastinator

Song lyrics to the music of Queen’s “The great pretender”. Inspired by Hobbo and Out-of-the-cave blogs, click on the names to see their excellent blogs.

Oh yes, I'm the great procrastinator (ooh no-o)
pretending that I get things done (ooh no-o)
my need is such I postpone to much
I'm slow start that no-one can help

Oh yes, I'm the great procrastinator (ooh no-o)
adrift with a list of to-do's (ooh no-o) 
I make the plan but to my real shame
I just can't get things to move on

Too real is the scene kicking cans down the road
Too real is my tactics delaying stuff

Oh, yes I'm the great procrastinator (ooh no-o)
just keep's putting things on hold (ooh no-o)
I seem to be stuck, sat on my butt
stalling my actions like a fine statuette
Pretending that I can get things done

Too real is the scene kicking cans down the road

Oh yes, I'm the great procrastinator (ooh no-o)
just sitting around on my ass (ooh no-o)
in my head you see a magical spree
but I'm just wearing my sofa down
procrastinating to see the truth
Pretending I that can get things done

I hope I don’t offend any fans to the fantastic band Queen and the singer Freddie Mercury. As a band aid I also put up the official Freddie Mercury video from Youtube. The song is originally written by Buck Ram (1907 – 1991). Buck Ram was from Chicago, Illinois. Composer, band leader and also the Platters manager. Also the Platters recorded the Great Pretender. Ha de Gött!

A Rainy Day

A Rainy Day

A rainy day
I will
sort things
postponed and neglected
A rainy day
I will
get down to it
long awaited
A rainy day
I will
sort it all out
structure and shape
A rainy day
I will
let it all flow
symphony of keys
A rainy day
I will
bloody well will
write that novel

But today sun is shining, ha de Gött!
