“It’s usually our opposites who complement us best, because they’re the only ones who can balance us out.”
― Rachel Hollis, Party Girl

Opposites for The Daily Post

But what if
We change it?
A new coat of paint
To look less quaint?

Looks won’t be deceiving
It’s all in the matter of perceiving
We can hide it
Or even camouflage it

It’s still an old version
Even after the conversion
But we need a little diversion
Even to the strongest aversion

So now, a new lease
And together in peace
With the neighbours of new
And no one says “ew!”

Lego Blocks

Real life or child’s play?
A concrete and glass ballet?
Or a clever form of masquerade?

Moomin House

In the deepest of forests
The little house of blue
Stands there quite modest
In the greenest of hues

“Step in to our little house,
Be a girl, dog or a mouse,
We can offer you some Brussels sprouts
If you promise not to shout”

Camouflage

Hidden, from prying eyes
And all kinds of spies
With my latest disguise

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it”
George A. Moore

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia

When you travel around the world, how many times upon return have you commented: “Well, that was fun, but home sweet home!”
Today a trip of a different kind
It’s surprising what you can find
When stepping, outside your door
Amazing, what beauty to score

The grass may be greener
On the other side of the fence
But sometimes you may be keener
To save a few more cents

Pick up the pace and lift your feet
Wander down your home street
The mundane soon turns to treasure
Leaving you with feelings of pleasure

So when not in Rome
Safe in home sweet home
