World Wide Wednesday in Finland

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

It may be a drawing
A piece of street graffiti
But if you are ready for exploring
In the warmth of Tahiti
Give this little town a chance
Who knows, maybe a glance
Will turn into a permanent stance!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings


Houses, seemingly ordinary
But inside, quit extraordinary
Side by side, in the town square
A common history, do they all share
Equally basking, in the sun’s glare

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

Statues, trams and squares
A water fountain with stairs
It’s the centre of the city
By the waters ever so pretty
Therefore, nothing else compares!

Capital Buildings…

The Helsinki Cathedral
Some could say a sequel
But for the city dwellers
This, is the best seller
And a building nothing will equal

Sunny Days (two)

“Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather”
Dale Evans

Sunny Days

Bright ball of fire
You saved us from dire
But gently,
Caused us to perspire
Because our attire
Was not meant for a weather of dryer
And now we need to find a dryer
Before the clothes expire
But still we do admire
Your lovely hellish fire
It must be better than snow!

“Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather”
Dale Evans

Sunny Days

Sunset reflected
The day soon neglected
Families to be connected
Happiness detected
Soon the moon erected
The day has finally ended

“Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather”
Dale Evans

Sunny Days

Sunshine on a rainy day
Skies slowly turning from gray
To a nicer shade to play
I really wish I could stay
Roll around in the fresh hey
Under the shining sun today

The Finnish Dream | one

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

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

“Helsinki isn’t all that bad.
It’s a very nice city,
and it’s cold really only in wintertime”
Linus Torvalds

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

At the Market Square


The hustle and bustle
The use of the rustle
All the customers
Lurking about this summer
The Market Square
The biggest fair
This side of town

Statuesque

Hallelujah:
The waters will flow right through ‘ya!
Keep bringing us the tuna
And we’ll sing a watery tune for ‘ya!
