A beautiful day
was wasted by me.
Its frailty and transience
I fell short to see.
In a shadowy demise
the day is set free.
A beautiful day
was wasted by me.

Holly Holly Holly Holly…do I need to start with the positive affirmations?
No, don’t worry, that won’t happen. Think I know how ya feel, actually…
YogaforCynics´s last blog post..Is It Time?
After the spring we had – a day with as much sun (i almost wrote sin) as we had today. . . couldn’t possibly have been wasted. even a poem about a wasted day is productive in a sort of smirky kind of way. Very nice. The queen anne looks very impressive.
koe´s last blog post..the first harvest
That is a great angle for Queen Anne’s Lace.
And your poem reminded of lyrics to a song by Belle and Sebastian, A Summer Wasting:
I spent the summer wasting / The time was passed so easily
But if the summers wasted / How come that I could feel so free
I spent the summer wasting / The sky was blue beyond compare
A photograph of myself (or, in your case, fine photographs of Lucy, flowers, nature, etc) / Is all I have to show …

Thank ya, drjay. Sometimes the positive affirmations just don’t do any good, you know? All was not lost, though, as Lucy had a good swim yesterday evening with some new buds. Thank goodness for Lucy…

Hi and thanks for the compliments, Koe. Yes, I did eventually get a post up, although born out of self-wallowing. As I told drjay, Lucy’s play made the day worthwhile…she never disappoints.

Hi Jennifer and thanks. I kinda had second thoughts about that pic, but let it be. And yes, those lyrics are so fitting. I pulled the song up on Playlist and listened…very nice…
oh, i’d love to think that the beautiful day was wasted staring at that beautiful flower.

Hi betchai and thanks. If spending all day staring at photos of flowers isn’t considered a waste of time, then I guess the day was well-spent!

Hi Chrissy and thanks so much. It was definitely a take-it-easy day.

Hi Doson. Glad you liked the flower. It was taken the same day as those over in my sidebar.

Hi Cooper and thanks so much. I don’t think it’s my passion yet, as I haven’t even taken the time to study the camera as I should, but I do love taking photos, as well as keeping up the blog. Please come back sometime!
Oh Holly! Shame, shame on you! Why did you waste such a beautiful day? :(

I agree, Charity…shame on me. Believe me, it’s not the first I’ve wasted and it won’t be the last. Unfortunately, it’s in my nature… Am workin’ on it though!
