“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

“Vroom, Vroom! Can I get more speed, please?”
Daily Wheels
Time for the bi-yearly service
So no need to be nervous
This is no major over haul
Just a quick ten minute call
A preparation before the snow fall
Also, because it is the law
And to be able to drive
Simply put, to stay alive 😉
Meanwhile, in the distance
Spotted something completely different
A train dashing by
Almost like it was on the fly
Because a vehicle of that calibre
Do not live by the calendar
Just keeping on the right track
Travelling every which way and back
Before my day was done
I bumped into something fun
A sporty looking vehicle
Did not seem too seasonal
But with the right kind of footwear
It too could be put into full gear
Choose some cool tunes on the radio
And ride along in the deep snow

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte
Seat in an Art Studio
Fancy a seat
In an art studio so neat?
Show is about to start
So sit down
And look smart!

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx
Freakish Felines
By those wide eyes
The limber steps
Command respect
You can never own them
Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles

“Dame Judi Dench, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Judi Dench,,, “
Happy 83rd Birthday, Dame Judi Dench
I’m not getting old, I am getting better
I am becoming a classic
Like the fine wine
For a special occasion to dine
Like the little red Corvette
You always wanted as a pet
I am
much better
more wiser
and even smarter
Than ever
Extraordinary woman
Exemplary human
Remarkable personality
Striking beauty
If you challenge me
I will compete with thee
Reach the finish line
Before you have the time
To Say
Wait for me!
Many things I have accomplished
Some of them without compliments
Many more still to come
Before I am done
What’s up next
You ask
Without being hexed
I would like the task
Ruler of the World naturally to follow
But not today,
Maybe tomorrow

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs .
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence” Ansel Adams
Ready for the Close-up
Getting closer and closer
A little more closer
Almost close enough
For an object to touch
But wait, time to hesitate
The cactus with mighty thorns
May your fingers scorn
Before you loose
Better choose…

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs .
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence” Ansel Adams
Ready for the Close-up
…Before you loose
Better choose
The creamy strawberries
With their pals blueberries
A tasty treat
Without any meat
Some eye candy to complete
With a red amaryllis ever so sweet

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast”
Charles Dickens
Contrasts
Enjoyed the fall
On many a stroll
At the door
Winter is knocking
With white
Everything blocking

Happy 100th Birthday Finland!
“Finland is no utopia” Bernie Sanders
100 Years
In the midst, of the roughest of winters
When a death sentence
Could have been as simple, as a splinter
In the year of our dawn
This is what our fore fathers saw:
The opportunity for independence
Even, if it meant a death sentence
Marching to the Tsar’s palace
Their intentions nothing out of malice
Nor, the intent of treason
But demanding simply, freedom
A heartfelt request as that
Was approved after a lengthy chat
Returning home in triumph
With these once people compliant
Celebration all over the land
Sooner than later begun
And it lasted a hundred years
Sometimes, turning into tears
But one hundred years later
All of us know, there is nothing greater
Than freedom and choice
Having your own voice
And a place, to call home
Happy 100th Finland!
And here is, to 100 more!

“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can” Rufus Wainwright
“An homage to lifts/elevators everywhere”
Open Sesame
Abracadabra!
How well do you know your algebra?
It is as easy as one, two, three
Even before you can boot your PC
The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said
