Although I quite enjoyed working and living in Belgium for three months, I was happy to be back in the Netherlands again. Specifically my hometown of Amsterdam:

Although the calender said it was September, we still had some lovely Summer days. Which I thoroughly enjoyed:

Amsterdam really is the place to be for me. Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because it's the place where I was born and raised.

I also don't mind being in Utrecht, where I was for a burlesque party:

Or Zwanenburg, where I met up with a guy who is now the illustrator of my first children's book. After we first met at a meeting of the school newspaper, some forty odd years ago:

No matter how lovely other places, my heart is always filled with joy, walking the streets of Amsterdam, like that one recent night walking home from my Freemasons Lodge:

Yes, that bright spot close to the center of the shot is the moon.

This week's poem is one of the pieces I wrote just before and during a scene in the musical I performed in in Belgium. With a quill (the tip was a simple Bic pen but it worked!) and the approval of the director to keep my ADHD brain from being distracted too much:

Shared adventure (a #poem)

No lesser gods

could help them now 

And even the most 

popular deities 

were helpless 

Now the moon

coloured bloodred

and dust and debris 

turned the last sunrise 

into a sunset

All they could do,

now even the richest man

was worthless,

was to find solace 

in the memory 

of their last 

shared adventure
