SEPTEMBER PEBBLES DAY 19

PERE LA CHAISE 2014

Riffling through vacation
photos, she finds a shot
of one of the sweetest
white scottie-dogs
He's standing on the grave
of someone she knows not
In a famous cemetery
in a famous city, in France.

CLASPED

In the hotel lobby,
an abstract art-piece
catches the eye
More because
of the Swarovski
crystals encrusting great
swaths of it than
any artistic merit
One has to step back
from the desk to realize
Hands clasped, let liquid
sparkles spill freely.

DAY 17

It's just a cup of coffee
a cappucino, alright
not just a cup of coffee
But, still - ordinary enough
you can order one almost
anywhere these days
Still, to have artworked
swirled into the surface
I hope that never becomes
old hat

PINK POPPY

Walking the Highline in NYC
a metropolis to be sure -
It's up where the birds perch,
and one can see far out to the
East river
I'm startled by a perfect
pink poppy

LUCY PAINTS

At the airport, abstract art
draws the eye . Perhaps
surprisingly, the oils are
works by the city's
elephant.

REFLECTIONS

Sometimes if you just concentrate
on skylines or architecture,
you might miss some subtler beauty
You know how the moon is really
only present as a reflection of the sun?
Some exquisiteness is merely mirrored
within the glass of others - don't forget
to look.

ON RENTING A CAR

One thing that amused me about this rental:
it sported a license plate from Texas
and we're from Alberta - in Canada,
because of our oil resources, we're sometimes
referred to as "Texas north" . we got a bit
of a come-uppance when we parked in
Hudson, NY, though. The car in front of us?
A cool, sleek, black Maserati
