Tuesday Sunset for Daily Photo (one)

“Another cliche moment” Gun Roswell

Tuesday Sunset 

Close to the end of the year
You won’t believe what you hear
There was an unidentified object
Right there for us mere humans to detect
It came out of nowhere
Did not stay for long here…

Hyvää Syntymäpäivää Mamma!

Posted in Celebration: Photography, Poetry and Humour (Finnish version)

“Taivaalla lentää… Teräs Mamma!”

Hyvää Syntymäpäivää Mamma!

Teräs Mamma
Super Muori
Ei ehkä niin nuori
Perunat kuitenkin kuori
Ja laittoi sukat suoriks
Hiukset kampas’
Paimensi jopa lampaat
Pesi hampaat

“Onhan tänään päivä suuri
Vaikka heräsinkin juuri
Ja vastasin luuriin
Matkalla kauppaan Tuuriin”

Eipä kummoinen riimi
Eipä tämä runoilija ole kovin fiini
Joten tähän lopuksi
Ennen kuin pitää laittaa hopuksi

“Erinomaista synttäriä sulle Mamma!”

Holiday Season

Holiday Fantasy vs. Reality

“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…”

…Then we woke up
Put the dog out to pee
Decorated the holiday tree
In a soaking, stormy Christmas Eve

Eerie Suburbia on Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday : Photography /Poetry /Humour

“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can”
Rufus Wainwright

Eerie Suburbia 

Early morning eerie,
Even a little scary,
Thought I saw a fairy
But it was just the neighbour’s Mary
On her way to the ferry

Mrs Claus

Posted in Holiday Celebration

“Santa has it great. I buy all the toys. He gets all the credit.”

Mrs Claus

Mrs Claus
Without applause
Doing her bid
Without a quid
Yuletide
Without the bride
Of Santa
Would be banter
No jolly
Or celebration folly
For me
Or you

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte

Seat in the Sun 

Didn’t get,
Too much done?
Competed,
But someone else won?
Feeling,
Like your phaser,
Is set on stun?

Anticipation for the Daily Post

Whales Ahead

“Hop on
Hop off”
The seller scoffed
Waving us to board

Not knowing what was in store
Anticipation
Hesitation
Finally at sea
And nowhere to flee
The boat shook

“Oh, look!
Thar be whales here!”

Up the River

Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver
