Vodka Smoothie Bender
In the heart of Essex, on a summer's night,
Beneath the moon's glow, shining so bright,
A tale unfolds, of great delight,
Of vodka smoothies and a wild, late-night flight.
The air was warm, the breeze caressed,
As the stars winked down, their secrets pressed,
A group of friends, seeking respite,
Set their sights on a vodka-filled night.
Through country lanes, they ventured deep,
Laughter and music, their souls to keep,
With windows down, and arms outstretched,
They savored freedom, in every breath.

Set their sights on a vodka-filled night.
Through country lanes, they ventured deep,
Laughter and music, their souls to keep,
With windows down, and arms outstretched,

Inside the Roaring of Summer: A Poetic Song
- Inside the Roaring of Summer: A Poetic Song -
A poetry collaboration between myself (Kara Lucielle Pythiana-Ashton) and Ivo Lamplot-Asle Nezorf.
Ivo is a friend of mine on Facebook, who is from the Czech Republic. This is our combined creation.
Inside the roaring of the gentlest of winds,
Inside the depths of the happiest of minds...
It is summer, upon the inside of our souls!
The season of delight, the one that consoles.
The sun rises so early in the hours of dawn,
Golden upon the green of the verdant lawn...
And is late to bed,...

Lughnasadh // Shards of Summer
August 1st, Lughnasadh. The first harvest. The first feast. I laugh with the summer’s heatwave that leaves the rain a distant dream. The first harvest of autumn’s coming, the first harbinger of winter, the last night of true summer gracing my skin. So I shatter a window and collect the glass shards of the last sundown of summer. Before the leaves change colours, while I can still be myself. Before the fog rolls in, before my rainbow turns to gray and the bitter chill ahead. I peer into the looking-glass shards, and the light I see may yet still hold a trace of the warmer months.
I bake...

Today’s Mood..
Humans are just humans. We don’t have the seas and skies in our hand. We just have ourselves, and that’s the scariest part.”

2 o’clock lost in mid-afternoon sighs
I didn’t ask,
For this much work to be assigned.
\v.2\
Reminders left to check
Avoiding my unread texts
Again...

Feelings are on the edge
Of the railing today
Not worrying about what train comes when
Do I go south or west?
This compass just won’t follow
Wherever I want it to go...

~Last Summer Whisper
Dreamy eyes, the trees whisper their thoughts to me
Subtle charm, the sun sets and she catches you
Do you hear what I hear?
As we’re walking closer than friends
Wind whisperin’, makes my heart floatin’
Do you see what I see?
As sunlight dew drips from those lips
A warm haze, lifts eyes, up to you~
Baby love, do you feel my gaze on you?
Look into my eyes, deep in my soul
Baby love, do you hear my heartbeat call?
Whispering softly, sounds of love
Sparklin’ smile, I hear raindrops ripplin’ with...

How I saved a baby kitty and became a local hero.
I was stationed at the Howard Houses Housing projects in East New York Brooklyn during the first summer in which I worked as a seasonal Park Ranger with the New York City Department Of Parks and Recreation. Of the many summers I worked as a seasonal employee this was my favorite, most cherished and memorable assignment.
I remember the day like it was yesterday. Very clear and vivid. I work up that morning around seven, drank a bottle of water, showered, brush my teeth, packed my uniform and shined my work shoes. My uniform consisted of a beige short sleeve shirt, a name tag,...

That Cold Summer Day
When I was younger,
With blonde hair, hanging lazily
Down my back in soft curls,
At that age of young innocence.
The summers, usually so light and airy
Usually full of strong rays of sunshine
With children laughing and smiling.
But that one summer
Felt so empty, so dark and heavy.
The idea of death was so unknown,
But now it hung above our heads
Changing everything.
After that day I was never able to touch
His old, hard, and leathery skin again
With the tubes sticking out
Of his frail and...

Summer's Gone
Did I ever tell you the story of how Summer and I broke up?
Well, here it is then...
So, when I woke up that cloudy morning, Summer's bags were packed.
I asked, "Where you going Summer?"
"I'm leaving you. I'm taking all my things too,
The Sun,
The Sunsets,
The Heat,
The long days,
All of it."
"I see." I replied. "But why?"
"I'm done here, I'm done with you!"
"But, I need you."
"Our time together has come to an end, I hope someday you will understand.
You've changed - I saw you...
