Construction Cycle

(What’s going on here? Click on first photo to enlarge pics and read captions.)

 

Cycle

What comes before needed construction
is a good deal of destruction.
Thus at any given time,
there may seem no reason nor rhyme
to account for what is going on.
Yet, when all the rubble’s gone
and the building then commences—
houses, bridges, rooms or fences—
mass destruction seems no sin
when we tear down to build again.
Yet still, destruction never behooves us
unless what’s built tends to improve us.

 

The prompt word today was “Construct.“

Hot and Cold

Hot as fire, cold as ice.
When the sun is hot, cold drinks are nice.

I just love how these little beauties twist about, improving the scenery by covering up their warn-torn neighbors.

Respite

Version 2


Respite

Although it is the day lit world that shouts at me, it seems
that when darkness closes, you echo in my dreams.

The prompt word today was “echo.”

DSCF1150 - Version 2

This seeming bridge to nowhere is actually a loading dock for the tons of bird guano taken from this island every few years to use as fertilizer.

This is my submission for Cee’s Which Way Challenge.

Tradescantia Pallida (Purple Heart) Flower of the Day, Dec 1, 2016

My Purple Heart is sort of rangy and dry, but their lovely little flowers, seen up close, seem to be flourishing in spite of the unlush nature of the leaves and stems.

Everything Shall Fade Away

img_4618

How cruel of life at end of day
that all of us should fade away,
one head going hoary white,
ready to give up the fight
while all around it, fresher shoots
sturdier and less hirsute
push upward in the dawning morn,
the meadow to freshly adorn.

The prompt word today was “Faded.”

Musical Chairs

What can be more “Musical Chairs” than this horn-headed statute in the chair series by Alejandro Colunga? It can be found on the malecón in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and rarely is it unoccupied during daylight hours.
