Porvoo Old Town for World Wide Wednesday, Part Two

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home” Matsuo Basho

Porvoo

The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo

Raindrops for Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday

“Raindrops keep falling on my head…”

Raindrops 

Rain pouring down the window frame
Feeling tired and totally lame
Staring into the stream of transparent liquid
My mind drifting and slumber comes quickly
In my dreams I start to wander
Into a place full of wonder
Where the sun is always shining
and nothing and no one is never minding
The tall tales of winter
Now left far behind me

Sunday Weather

Posted in Simply Poetry
“Sunday’s are full of surprises” Gun Roswell
 
Sunday weather
 
A surprise
Waiting in the skies
Grey clouds forming
Soon, to be storming
Tiny triplets of water
Splashing down
Onto the driest of grounds
What a lovely sound
Finally, life
After such a long strife
Now dancing
Outside glancing
What could be more wonderful
Than water
And buckets full

Hiding

I feel shy today
Alone in this place
They made me stay

So just read my face
It’s clearly splayed
I won’t be swayed
To stay in this place
One more day!

“He travels the fastest who travels alone” Rudyard Kipling

Porvoo, Finland

Colourful old buildings
Even graffiti for the chilling
Some of them may be tilting
Life nothing if not thrilling

 

Colours in Mundane Monday

“Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored” David Byrne

Colours

A work of art?
Or something smart?
A splash of colour
Will leave you wonder
What is beyond there?
A work of art
Or something,
Even more smart?

A Seat in Cyprus for Seat Sunday

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

A Seat in Cyprus

A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

Boss Face

I am your boss
And I don’t give a toss
If you care to floss
After eaten the sauce

World Wide Wednesday in Evia, Greece

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“We travel,
some of us forever,
to seek other places,
other lives,
other souls.”
– Anais Nin

Evia

No sun a shining
When the storm clouds
Fill the horizon
Time to sail ashore
Before the all mighty Thor
Hits his hammer

The wind’s subsiding
The mist arising
It’s all calm
After the storm

Blue skies
Blue waters
No need,
To go any further
