Around the World in Black and White (one)

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne

Around the World in Black and White 

In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne

Around the World in Black and White 

Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise

After the Storm

“After a storm comes a calm”
Matthew Henry

After the Storm

After the storm
Everything is calm
Surrounded by silence
When roaming the island
Not a soul in sight
A sole bird in flight
The scent of nature
The intoxicating mixture
Enhanced by rain
Hard to restrain
My rejoicement

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne

Around the World in Black and White 

Enjoying the island life
Dancing to a flute or a fife
Whether a history buff
Or a hang loose beach bum
Rhodes is the place enough
To make you wanna hum

The Round House | one

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

The Round House

Round and round we go
Merrily, merrily, following the flow
Around the round house
Me, you and even the mouse
There is no end
There is no beginning
Just a round circle
For us to encircle
Wasting our time
And that is just fine
It just cost one dime!

The Round House | four

“Do not cross the brook for water”

The Round House

Hiding in the background
Behind the frozen playground
The house ever so round…

Ha!, now you are found!

The Round House | three

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

The Round House

In the deepest of winter
Reflected palm trees from the printer
Or maybe on the frozen river
Oh, just remove the splinter!
Join the venture
And into the round house enter
You can’t miss it
It’s right in the city centre!

The Round House | two

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

The Round House

Life
In a round house
Me, and my spouse
With our pet mouse

Come on, step inside
And browse!

Quote a Week Tuesday

For this week’s quote, I have chosen two apt but funny ones: Enjoy!

“As I’ve grown older,
I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible,
but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
Much more fun too!”
