“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”
Matsuo Basho

The Charioteer of Delphi
Would suite nicely, for a selfie

Time for Shopping
Time for shopping?
But of course
And we do until
We are dropping!
But,
Coffee first!

People of all Sorts
The lady with her dog
Was looking for a grog
The taxi had already gone
So she decided to sit on the log
The dude is a statue
He was quite the virtue
Now with a seagull
He seems a little dull

By the Water Fountain
By the old water fountain
Because I did not want to
Climb the tallest mountain!

Market Square
“Fresh fish,
Get you fresh fish here,
Catch of today
On your plate won’t stay!”
“Sausages,
Fresh boiled sausages
Made from reindeer
Don’t worry dear
Rudolf not included!”
“I-iice cream,
Come and get some i-iice cream,
Cold and cooling
If you need the smoothing!”

Ye Old Shopping Mall
What ever your heart may desire…
Well, then you’ve come to the wrong place
But we do like to cater to the buyer
In this old historic space
They commonly call
The Market Hall

Harbour Area
A slow boat to Sweden
Or a catamaran to Tallinn
If you are looking for Eden
Well, maybe
But you better be all in!
Faces (WP Writing: Intro to Poetry) Five

Poetry, Day Two: Face
* For today’s poem, take a single face you know as your point of departure. It doesn’t even have to be a real-life, flesh-and-blood face you’re writing about. Faces are everywhere in the texture of our daily lives: from portraits in the museum to the banknotes in our wallets, and from billboards and street art to online profile pictures.
* If you’d like to push yourself a bit further today, give alliteration a try — it’s a handy poetic device that involves repeating the same consonant sound multiple times.

“That’s my face, so what?” Gun Roswell
Um, are we lost?
“Are we there yet?”
“I think we just lost the bet!”
“If it rains again,
We’ll get wet!”
“No sweat,
All we need to do
Is reset…
There done!”
And they were all gone!

Yep, I am taller
“I am taller than you ha-ha!
You are shorter than me ha-ha!”
“In your face sucker!
I ate all the peanut butter!”

Techno Granny
Techno savvy red-haired granny
Plucking her phone, working fingers to the bone
“I am no nanny and I don’t want a scone!
Young lady, don’t give me that tone!”
