If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese

Helsinki Harbour

The city panorama
Display filled with drama
Well, at least in the words
Of a known Americana!

Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!

Jaguar in Mundane Monday

“I want a Jaguar, Jaguar, a Jaguar car” Gun Roswell

Jaguar 

Shiny bright objects
On the hood of the car
Not satisfied admiring from afar
Closing in with careful steps

Ornaments of gorgeous animals
Mouths agape like howling cannibals
A feline of sorts
Put on this car of sports

A Jaguar,
Can go quite far
But how about,
This old car?

Got my prize
In a pocket size
A snap for this post
Now the image a ghost

Driving in my Fiesta
I really need a siesta
But in my mind
A tune of a different kind

“I want a Jaguar, Jaguar, a Jaguar car”

“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”

Take a Seat in Cafe

Cafe in a pink house
Somewhere, thereabouts
Sit down, have a coffee
With a bun, laced with toffee

Thank you All, for the many birthday wishes!

“What’s a few thank yous between friends”

Thank you!

Thank you
For the wishes you threw
My way
On my special day

A year older
Feeling
A little bolder
Maybe capable
To move any rock or boulder

But for now
Taking it easy
Eating bread cheesy
Summer holidays
Are around the corner
Maybe a trip or two
And no time for boredom

So, thanks for visiting
I will promise not to sing
Oh and just one thing:
Keep on blogging 😎

Blue for Fav Foto Friday

“Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees” Paul Strand

Blue

Many a beautiful sunrises
Too many gorgeous sunsets
Which is the one to choose
Could not, so I let it loose
The photos in number of three
I have picked to peruse for thee
Enjoy them all, why don’t you
I surely did, even the blue

Life is a Boxing Match in TBT

“Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder” Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Life is a Boxing Match

The gloves are on
The arena awaits you
From the illusion of winning
Your head is spinning
The chanting getting louder
You’re feeling prouder

The plan was a clean fight
No hitting below the belt
The deal fitting your own self
No more time for flight
The crowd is cheering
You are leering

At the ding of the gong
The fight is on
Dancing around
Pulling punches
No one going down
The referee announces

No one is winning

It is time
To up the ante

The gloves come off
The game now on
You start to scoff
Your mind’s set only on the con
Spitting out words of slander
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander

Hair being torn
Nails like thorns
Feeling the scorn
Scratching, screaming
Ending only in
Real blood and tearing

No one is winning

It is time
For plan C

World Wide Wednesday in Brazil

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new” Jules Verne

On the River Negro

On a slow boat
Down the moat…

(The needle on the record hops with a screeching sound)
“Sorry, wrong track!”

On a slow little ship
Down the River Negro we slide
It’s just a short trip
Into the beyond and open wild

Fishes and dolphins
Jump up from the waters
The mermaids a calling
So lock up your fathers
No place for golfing
Only a trek for the trotters

On a slow little ship
Down the River Negro we slide
It’s just a short trip
Into the beyond and open wild

Left and Right in Mundane Monday

“Life is mundane without the new and unexpected. I guess that has been and continues to be my downfall… I’m constantly searching…”
Adria J. Cimino

Left and Right

Passing,
The right side
Moving,
Towards the left side

Which side?
It’s really
A matter of perspective
The other right
Or the other left
The mind subjective

Do I have to choose
What if I loose
What is good for the gander
May not be good for the goose

Better then
To stay in the middle
Because
In the end
Life is a riddle
