World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

Baskets filled with goodies
Hats, trousers and hoodies
Maybe even a few cookies
Because it’s time to play hookie

Bikes with motors are fine
When you want to avoid that grind
But a manual pedaller
May be a great leveller
When your pulse needs elevating
And your blood, circulating

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

Where there is a lamppost
There is a will
The best parking host
For a bike to stay still

City bikes of yellow
For every gal and fellow
Driving by and waving hello
Before we break for jell-o

I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
Snow, hail or rain trickle
I am none too fickle
I want to ride my bike

A stroll in the heat of summer
Looking for a place to recover
Taverns and restaurants beckoning
A cold drink for thirst lessening

Seated 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

Seas of Turquoise

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
