“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free” Michelangelo

Backyard Angel

Snow flakes landing on the ground
Covering the land like a white crown
No stopping of seasons changing
Both in rain and sunlight bathing
The backyard angel sitting still
Feeling neither chill or thrill
A guardian of this household may he be
But not a sound nor move will make he
Rest assured your home is safe
As long as the backyard angel in his place will stay

“I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an ‘errie’ in it!” Jordin Sparks

Delicious

Red, juicy, delicious
My one and only precious
You make me so jealous
Driving me reckless
With all your freshness
I am getting restless
One bite of your essence
Leaves me breathless

You left me this impression
So, hear my confession
You are my obsession
I wish, my possession

My red delicious all so merry
My one and only Strawberry

Sankta Lucia

Posted on by

In honour of the month of December and the day of Sankta Lucia (13.12.)

lucia main

“Natten går tunga fjät
rund gård och stuva;
kring jord, som sol förlät,
skuggorna ruva.
Då i vårt mörka hus,
stiger med tända ljus,
Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia”

“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
There in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia”

Sankta Lucia

The bearer of light
For the future to shine bright
With all her might
Like the shining white knight
Her sword will smite
All the anger and spite
The world to rewrite
Without war or fight
Sankta Lucia

If you see the sunset, does it have to mean something? If you hear the birds singing does it have to have a message?” Robert Wilson

Saturday Sunset, Part Two

An ordinary Saturday
On a December’s eve
Stepping into a sleigh
For a ride to leave
On a track
To watch the sunset
The colours a reminder
Of the season’s binder

“I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation” Dustin Hoffman

Saturday Sunset, Part One

“The sky is on fire, the sky is on fire!”

The peasant from the ancient times shouted
As the red clouds into the skies sprouted
Running as fast as he could
Before the skies on him fall would

Simply out of fear
Not knowing of the beauty so near
Shivering in his cellar
Like an old yellar

Some hundreds years later
Not a sunset hater
Eagerly awaiting
A sunset most breathtaking

“Red is the ultimate cure for sadness” Bill Blass

Red

Red is my colour
Try not to follow
Red is my attitude
No intended platitude
Watch me bloom
As my nom de plume
Is Red

bubble

“We live in a strange bubble” Brian Molko

Life in Bubble

Living in a bubble
Peeking through Hubble
Getting into trouble
Always on the double
Trying to snuggle
Always a struggle
For the couple
After all,
Living in a bubble
Usually decouples

“Don’t make a spectacle of yourself”

Black and Pink

Vision so clear
I can not fear
If I ever lost them
To a whirlwind
Would I be sent

Like a second skin
Through thick and thin
As thick as thieves
My spectacles and me
As far as I can see

“Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow” Fran Drescher

Yellow

Not quite a rose
Still has its thorns
Gorgeous in its pose
A little red adorns
Not quite a flower
Still has the power
Each time to wow her

“To have my cake and eat it too?… hm… eat it!”

Chocolate Cake    cake-3

It’s just a cake
Nothing fake
Some sugar and spice 
All the things nicecake-7
And do not forget
The best ingredient
What is it?
What else for a ‘holic
But dark chocolate
