Time for Shopping
Time for shopping?
But of course
And we do until
We are dropping!
But,
Coffee first!

People of all Sorts
The lady with her dog
Was looking for a grog
The taxi had already gone
So she decided to sit on the log
The dude is a statue
He was quite the virtue
Now with a seagull
He seems a little dull

By the Water Fountain
By the old water fountain
Because I did not want to
Climb the tallest mountain!

Market Square
“Fresh fish,
Get you fresh fish here,
Catch of today
On your plate won’t stay!”
“Sausages,
Fresh boiled sausages
Made from reindeer
Don’t worry dear
Rudolf not included!”
“I-iice cream,
Come and get some i-iice cream,
Cold and cooling
If you need the smoothing!”

Ye Old Shopping Mall
What ever your heart may desire…
Well, then you’ve come to the wrong place
But we do like to cater to the buyer
In this old historic space
They commonly call
The Market Hall

Harbour Area
A slow boat to Sweden
Or a catamaran to Tallinn
If you are looking for Eden
Well, maybe
But you better be all in!

Poetry, Day Seven: Flavor
From the simple (butter on toast, a childhood-evoking bubblegum) to the more complex (insert your latest dinner-party triumph — or fiasco), flavor occupies a crucial place in our memories, in our stories, and in our social interactions.
Delicious and Colourful
“I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It’s very comforting” Teri Garr
Strawberries!
In summertime,
In July
Something easy,
For both tummy
And the eye
Delicious
Nutricious
Precious
Sun kissed
Wouldn’t miss
Eat them
While you can
Soon, the season is over
And it will be October
When you’ll be eating
Canned spam!

Day Seven: “Glass” — Interact with a Surface
Incorporate a form of glass — a window, a mirror, a wine glass, sunglasses, or something else — in today’s image.
” I hate to burst your bathtub bubbles, baby, but that ain’t just mud down there!”

Down the Drain
“Down the hatch!”,
She said
Snatching the full glass
With one pass
As the liquid poured down
A few trickles on her gown
“What?
Do you really think
I was letting it go to waste?”
Looking at the empty vessel
The content definitely not made by Nestle
Searching for any signs of discomfort
But, on the contrary
She was seemingly triumfant
Offering the glass back to me,
“Be a sweetie:
One more for the road!”
She added with a smile
“One man’s vile
An other woman’s style”,
I thought
Looking at the bottle I had bought
Pouring the glass full again
Thinking to myself,
“Better than pouring it all
Down the drain!”

Day Seven: “Big” — A Point of View
Today, let’s go big. Photograph something of massive size, inside or outside. Get creative with your shot: Capture all or just part of the subject. Place it in the foreground so it takes up the entire frame. Or shoot it from afar so it appears smaller — yet still prominent.

Konebuilding
A tall glass house of blue
Possibly quite see through
Hardly qualified as a skyscraper
But with many a
Windows, doors and elevators
It’s easily a wannabe simulator

Cherry on Top
The red, red cherry
Is one delicious berry
Quite the legendary
Consume it
With a glass of Sherry
And,
In to a heavenly state
You’ll soon be ferried
