Court Yard
A rocky road
Into the court yard flowed

Thirsty
A drinking well
Today’s biggest sell
The passersby do tell
Or even broadcast it
On your cell!
Quench your thirst
The keeper reimburse
But first:
Wash your hands!

The Yellow House
The old yellow house
Too big for a mouse
But maybe a fit
For you and your spouse

Cafe
Picking up a tray
For a while
Planning to stay
In this cozy
Family style cafe

Triptych
Not saving any ink
Painted pink
The house stands tall
Winter, Spring, Summer and fall
In the harbour
From port to starboard

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Hurry, reserve that Seat!
“Hurry, hurry!
Someone will steal
That cool seat
And we’ll be left standing
On our two feet!”

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Good Seats come in Threes!
They say
Good things
Don’t grow on trees
But some things
Come in threes
And make great seats

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”
Green Seat
A little lone seat
Painted in green
Out here in the heat
Maybe old fashioned
And a little compassion
Add some graffiti
And it’ll turn out neat!

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.”
Bill Moyers
On the Rocks for Mundane Monday
A swirl in the sky
Clouds are alive
Sunshine and blue skies
Feeling alive
But
The boat just left
Me
On these rocks
Maybe try
If I float?

Cafe in a pink house
Somewhere, thereabouts
Sit down, have a coffee
With a bun, laced with toffee
