Change Christmas for peace

Carpe Diem Special #186
Georgia’s 2nd “days of Christmas”(choka).

dark nights and dusk days
stars are bright and sky so black
cold feet are stumping
while the children are wishing
carol songs in air
and Christmas coming closer
handicrafts and food
crowded over filled markets

I’m standing beside
I’m thinking about the world
I’m in the middle

dark and brutal days
scaring black nights of horror
no stars can be seen
heavy feet running away
wishing for safe life
no holiday in sight yet
will there ever be peace

I’m feeling so sad
I’m both inside and outside
Want to change Christmas for peace

My Blue World

Skrivpuff: Tredje meningen på en sida mitt i boken – Canon EOS 6D.
På fliken {camera4} väljer du {Bildstil} och trycker sedan på <set>.

Ja jag gillar att testa.
Man lär sig på vägen,
tänker jag.
Förhoppningsvis
då mot en egen
personlig stil
i fotograferandet
Efter en svartvit
period
stannar jag
i det monochroma
och väljer blå ton
som jag hittar till
själv
men inte i
handledningen
Åh detta gillar jag!
tänkte jag
Min egen bildstil.
Min värld är blå.
blå blå blå
And I like it!

Ps. Är fortfarande inne i den blå perioden 🙂
Ingen höjdare till skrivpuff men jag är trött
efter Nobelfesten (på iPaden).

I took the flight. Like I so often do. To my favorite city in Europe. Budapest in Hungary. The center of all kind of arts. The city of many festivals. Now it is Christmas market. Everybody is out and I love mingling around with my Canon. All kinds of handicraft. All kinds of Hungarian food – made out in the air. Chimney cakes baked for never ending queues. All kinds of languages spoken. Some people or many actually like the mulled wine but I don’t. But I wouldn’t say no to an Unicum.

Daily Prompt: Pick Your Gadget.
Your local electronics store has just started selling time machines, anywhere doors, and invisibility helmets. You can only afford one. Which of these do you buy, and why?

finding myself
confronted
facing options
like always
in life

since I know myself
and I am not
a messy gossiper
I don’t choose
invisability

since I know myself
and I am
very curious
I just love
open doors

since I know myself
I will start
open  the doors
one after
the other

… and I will not
shut them!
