“Hell no! Even more snow? This is getting old really fast!” Gun Roswell
Snowed in
Expected:
A snowstorm front
Heavy snowfall
All through the day
Ten degrees Celsius
Of the minus variation
Appears colder
On your skin
Stay indoors
If you can

“When in Paris, the good times cherish”
Gun Roswell
A Quick Trip to Paris
The Arc de Triomphe
Certainly got that oomph
In the midst of Place de l’Etoile
Still standing strong and tall
The archaic Goliath
The biggest of the giants
For us tiny mortals to see
We have come to worship thee

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar
Tree Line
Painted with the finest ink
Added a little hue of pink
The colouring book of nature
Quite a spectacular feature
Across the evening sky

“A chair fit for a Queen and other Ladies too” Gun Roswell
Under the Tree
“Ah, a cool summer’s breeze
I am possibly ready to sneeze
Better sit down on the bench!”
Said the little old wench
As she tightly held her thighs in a clench
Because that damned sneezing
Made her always queasy
And possibly a little uneasy
As to what might start to trickle
She started to giggle
“Oh, hurry up you old fool
And quickly sit down on that damned stool!”

“The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat” Jules Renard
Caturday Poem
I am a tiger cat
Hear me roar!
My furry stripes
I am wearing proud
Sometimes picking a fight
‘Cause I like being loud
But when groomed and fed
And safely resting in bed
I am a cute little kitty
Without any hissy fitty
I am a soft kitty
Hear me purr

“My favourite thing to do on this planet is to scuba dive” Buzz Aldrin
Lighthouses
Lighthouses
The white houses
Saving lives
Oh, so many times

“When in Paris, the good times cherish”
Gun Roswell
A Quick Trip to Paris
Sunrises and sunsets
They never down let
Remember to be quick on your steps
For days surely seem shorter
Maybe from average town, a quarter
Time certainly flies
When in Paris you have arrived

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein
A Seat fit for a Queen
A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

“In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you”
Michel de Montaigne
Caturday Poem
I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!
Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife

“Do not cross the brook for water” Finnish proverb
The Finnish Dream
A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight
If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finns existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator
