“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
— Astronomer Carl Sagan

To boldly go where no Woman has gone before

…As the flight progresses
I feel less stressed
What ever awaits me
It only can be
Something wonderful
And most magical

To boldly go
Where no
Woman
Where no one
Has gone
Before

Alien Planets

“Well, it’s worked so far, but we are not off yet” Dr McCoy, Star Trek

To boldly go where no Woman has gone before

Cosmos,
The final
Frontier
So far
And yet
So near

Entering the spaceship
Ready for a long trip
Going to Mars?
Or even farther beyond?
Following the stars
Over the magic pond

Through the window
Feelings of alone
One trail of thought
As the mental guide
Trying not to get caught
In a state of confined…

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

People of all Sorts

helsinki-13

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

Because I did not want to

“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!”

Well, then you’ve come to the wrong place
But we do like to cater to the buyer
In this old historic space

A slow boat to Sweden
Or a catamaran to Tallinn
If you are looking for Eden
Well, maybe
But you better be all in!

Poetry, Day Seven: Flavor

From the simple (butter on toast, a childhood-evoking bubblegum) to the more complex (insert your latest dinner-party triumph — or fiasco), flavor occupies a crucial place in our memories, in our stories, and in our social interactions.

Delicious and Colourful

“I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It’s very comforting” Teri Garr

Strawberries!

In summertime,
In July
Something easy,
For both tummy
And the eye

Delicious
Nutricious
Precious

Sun kissed
Wouldn’t miss

Eat them
While you can
Soon, the season is over
And it will be October
When you’ll be eating
Canned spam!

Down the Drain (WP Developing Your Eye II)

Day Seven: “Glass” — Interact with a Surface

Incorporate a form of glass — a window, a mirror, a wine glass, sunglasses, or something else — in today’s image.

” I hate to burst your bathtub bubbles, baby, but that ain’t just mud down there!”
— Jak II: Renegade

Down the Drain

“Down the hatch!”,

She said
Snatching the full glass
With one pass
As the liquid poured down
A few trickles on her gown

“What?
Do you really think
I was letting it go to waste?”

Looking at the empty vessel
The content definitely not made by Nestle
Searching for any signs of discomfort
But, on the contrary
She was seemingly triumfant

Offering the glass back to me,

“Be a sweetie:
One more for the road!”

She added with a smile

“One man’s vile
An other woman’s style”,

I thought
Looking at the bottle I had bought

Pouring the glass full again
Thinking to myself,

“Better than pouring it all
Down the drain!”
