“Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home” Matsuo Basho
Porvoo
The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo

Sunday Weather
Posted in Simply Poetry
“Sunday’s are full of surprises” Gun Roswell
Sunday weather
A surprise
Waiting in the skies
Grey clouds forming
Soon, to be storming
Tiny triplets of water
Splashing down
Onto the driest of grounds
What a lovely sound
Finally, life
After such a long strife
Now dancing
Outside glancing
What could be more wonderful
Than water
And buckets full
Porvoo Old Town for World Wide Wednesday, Part One

“He travels the fastest who travels alone” Rudyard Kipling
Porvoo, Finland
Colourful old buildings
Even graffiti for the chilling
Some of them may be tilting
Life nothing if not thrilling
World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese
Helsinki Harbour
The city panorama
Display filled with drama
Well, at least in the words
Of a known Americana!
Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!

“I’m from Sweden, so I don’t enjoy winter at all; there’s nothing cute about it” Lykke Li
White
Oh winter, oh winter
Don’t think I am bitter
But to be honest
I wish you to be gone-st
I really loved you at first
Now I am dying of thirst
Of a summer that is
So hear me please
And be gone!

“I love the Mediterranean for the fact that winter is over in a minute, and the almond blossom arrives in January” Jade Jagger
White
Whiter than white
The blanket so tight
Woven onto the ground
And into our minds
Yes it’s winter
Oh joy!?
(She says sarcastically
What she means really)
Quite the splinter
And a clever ploy!
First it was nice
Now it seems
You are staying
Just of spite
Palm Sunday
Posted in Celebration/Tradition
“Virvon, varvon tuoreeks, terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, valoisaks kevääks, lämpimäks suveks, pääsiäispyhäks ja juhannustuleks. Vitsa sulle, palkka mulle!”
Palm Sunday
Watch out
Little witches are about
When at your doorstep they enter
Make sure to bribe them like a big spender
For aches and pains and other ailments
Out the door with the witches went
If you try from the witches hide and ignore
Be prepared, for the rest of the year to be sore!

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” Saint Augustine
Porvoo
The old town of Porvoo
A home away from home
Flew there like a crow
Stated ,when in Rome…
Found the nearest cafe
Which was close to the bay
Enjoyed the sunny day
Until turn of eve
When it was time to leave

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese
Esplanade
Down the esplanade
We like to parade
With a gentle sway
For a while in the cafes stay
Until summer will fade
And to indoors we will trade
