In spring, I move”

Last Of Snow Days?

A wooden divider
The sole provider
Of shelter
For the stormy weather

Finnish Labour Day Eve Celebration (30.04) aka ‘Mantan Lakitus’

Havis Amanda
The gorgeous lady
Rising from the sea
Naked as if bathing
Bearing everything
For the eyes to see
Tourists are watching
Cameras are clicking
A true beauty
Reflecting the city
Of Helsinki

“Never give up.
Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse,
but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine”
Jack Ma

Sunshine Reflected

Spring time,
According to the calendar
It would be fine
But the weather is challenging
Never mind
Just unwind
Look deeply, into the sun

Dream it
Wish it
Want it

Looking at the water
It’s getting warmer
Dare to dip in?
Of course!
I am a Finn!

“Never give up.
Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse,
but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine”
Jack Ma

Sunshine Reflected

Early morning by the seaside
Working day, office calling
Cool air, feeling the breeze
Never mind, it’s pretty outside

Trying hard this moment to seize
The clock is ticking
My mind is sinking
Would rather stay here, this is my thing
Dragging my feet, stalling
Dreaming,
Slowly, into the water falling

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Dudes a-standing

Proud of being green
As in front of this white house I am seen
I try not lean
Because I am the dude a-standing
Trying hard not onto the ground a-landing

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Group a-hanging

We are the tough crowd
Hanging together green and proud
We usually sing very loud
Sometimes even scaring the cows
But sometimes we just meow
Especially, if the sky turns to a cloud

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Dudes a-standing

Up high on my pedestal
I really try not to fall
But if you throw me a ball
I will down myself haul
And shoot a great goal
Faster than you can it call

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Ladies a-leaning

One lady a-leaning
Two ladies a-leaning
If I keep on going
This will turn into a song
Just bang the gong
And in a flash I will be gone…

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Ladies a-leaning

Ladies of Helsinki
Keep telling me
To put on a crown
And go down town
Soon the ugly frown
Will even make a clown
Smile:
You are now officially on file

Dudes a-standing

With this seagull on my head
My wicked ideas I will spread
But if you promise to bring me bread
Another type of story will be told instead
