W3 and Dan Antion’s Writing Challenge

Dan Antion’s Doors writing challenge starts today and continues throughout May. I used one of my own doors pictures because the colours inspired a poem that also fitted Yvette’s W3 challenge to write about a fantasy world (mine’s 22 lines and not 20 – sorry Yvette!)

Dinah in Wonderland (freestyle poem)

Beyond the door

Dinah sees the colours

Dancing and swirling

Enticing … calling

“Come and play, Dinah

Come and play”

Squeezing through the cat door

She pitches forward

Falling … down and down

Landing softly on

Pink, blue, green, and yellow

Sweet! Her nose quivers

What? It’s candy floss

Between the bright puffs

Pale shapes swarm

Marshmallow fish

They wriggle their tails

“Chase us, Dinah, chase us”

Off she goes

Bouncing from one sugary cloud

to the next sweet indulgence

Extraordinary!

Thursday Doors

For Dan’s Thursday Doors, I’m sharing the rest of my Hilton Hotel, Munich photographs. I was only in Munich for ten hours so this is what I saw of it in the hotel from about 8pm until 4am the following morning.

The Flower Hour

These are orange and yellow arum lilies I discovered in my summer garden (it is now autumn).

  13. Sounds delicious! I have never seen a hotel with a smoking lounge. First thing I thought of was all the rude people that must look in on the smokers like they are a science experiment! heheheh

  16. Of course, nature calls to me, Robbie, that is a stunning lily, never seen an orange one! But I was fascinated with the Munich hotel and its modernity! A great museum for your wonderful poem, ala Alice in Wonderland! Have a relaxing weekend!

  19. I love “Dinah in Wonderland!” The Munich Hilton looks like a much more inviting place to be imprisioned for ten hours than, let’s say, the Hanoi Hilton.
