“All writers have this vague hope that the elves will come in the night and finish any stories” Neil Gaiman
“Tonttu”
An elf is an elf
Of course of course
Not staying on the shelf
For sure, for sure
Come and join the circle
Even if you are a mere mortal
Tonight the elves are out
And about

O, how glorious would it be to set my heel upon the Pole and turn myself 360 degrees in a second!” Joseph Banks
A Visit to the North Pole
A quick trip
To the North Pole
A little hop and skip
To the beat of the drum roll
The elves busy at work
Their faces in a permanent smirk
No time for breaks or coffee
Not even a little toffee
The holiday season is upon us
Which has caused all the fuss
Be careful where you step though
You may end up in a pile of snow
Santa’s sleigh
Without delay
Flying over the river
Presents to deliver
Hitch a ride
In a blink of an eye
You’ll be landing
At the front door standing
Was it a dream
So it would seem
But then again
Life is but a dream

“I enter the world called real as one enters a mist” Julien Green
Early Morning Mist
The eerie morning mist
Before the sun has kissed
The clouds a grayish shade
Before the mist will fade
The skies slowly turning into red
Looking forward to the day ahead
Will it be another day filled with sunshine
Or do I rain and cold wind only find?

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train” Oscar Wilde
London
Rain, rain, rain
Running down the drain
Around in the City of London
Without the feeling of boredom
Too many things to see
Face lit up with a glee…

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train” Oscar Wilde
London
… Never mind the sad bad weather
My skin is made of thick leather
A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

“Learn from yesterday,
live for today, hope for tomorrow.
The important thing is,
not to stop questioning”

“I would much rather have a life filled with magic than one filled with the mundane.”
― Debbie Viguié
Now you see me, Now you don’t
Don’ t blink
Because,
In an eye’s wink
You see her,
Then you don’t
Not a haunt
Not a stalker
It’s just Granny
With her walker

“I don’t generally like running.
I believe in training by rising gently up
and down from the bench”
Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn?
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf…

“I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat” Edgar Allan Poe
Rulers of the World
They run your world
Despite whatever you heard
Twisting you around their tall tails
Urging you to run on nails
You will jump when they hail
“Yes Ma’am” you hear yourself say
When they approach you with a sway
And tell you it is time to play
Cats, are the rulers of the world
Sometimes you may hear yourself say “shit”
But you have to admit
You are loving every minute of it

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art” Ansel Adams
Moon, Moon, where art thou?
Moon, moon
Where art thou moon?
Come out from your hiding
On the nightly path guiding
Before off the trail
I go slipping and sliding
