Come Tiptoe Through the Tulips with Me

· 9 Comments ·

Not having any tippy-toes on file (and my own being unpresentable in the middle of winter) I thought I needed some colour in my life.

It seems, once the tulips are out (not yet this year!) the temptation to tiptoe through them is a great one.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Tiptoe.

GREEN

We always want to risk it.
Rain, thunder, hail and lightning.
We do not fear the cold weather.
(NB: The words kind of rhyme.  There are spelling and grammar mistakes in the German text; I found it in a scouting location in Switzerland.)

Times gone by?

An old sign for a coffee bar in Neustadt an der Weinstraße might not be all that appealing – yet in our current times the idea of sitting in a coffee shop or a bar or a restaurant with other people, friends or even strangers, has become very appealing indeed. Let’s hope that such a simple pleasure is soon again possible.

But the name of the place lets me wonder … while “Schluckebier” is a normal, if not very common, name in German it can be rendered as “beer for quaffing”. How appealing is that?

Ragtag Daily Prompt: Appealing.
