Helsinki Archipelago, Finland

The dream of every Finn
Especially,
When their patience is waring thin
Is go for a weekend spin
In a small boat,
To a very remote
Island, where there is no inn
Just the one small cabin

The ancient ruins
Of the historic Acropolis
A place of fun,
A place of knowledge
Climb the steps
You may even get –
Astonished!

Travel around the globe
There is one thing, you can hope
To see that something, unique
That may even be shrouded, in mystique

When on Mallorca
No need for a parka
It’s milder than Jakarta
And you can even do, the mazurka

People living in glass houses
Don’t have to worry about mouses
But they may have, a few passersby
Doing some browsing
Into their see through dwelling
“Oh, just be chillin’
It ain’t done with illin’ “

In Helsinki a while
A mixture of styles
You will find
Everything,
Within a mile

This is London calling!
Better get here running,
Not crawling!
Visit the sights
Maybe a few pubs
Then a little shopping
Even do the, bus hopping
Can’t you hear:
London is calling!”

The narrow white corridors
May lead you to a secret door
If you dare to enter,
You may find something,
Never seen before

Cathedral for Daily Photo

Posted in Daily Photo: Photography, Humour and Poetry

“Maimed but still magnificent…
Europe’s mightiest medieval cathedral”
R. W. Apple, Jr.

Cathedral for Daily Photo

What a piece of art!
Done by someone very smart
Or possibly straight from the heart

The ‘ohs’ and ‘ahs’ over the chart
Can be heard from here to St Barts
Someone tried the work bogart
But the artist said, “never could I part”

So, luckily for our viewing pleasure
We can now admire this permanent treasure
In our place of worship in our leisure

World Wide Wednesday: Statues

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

Espoo

The little angel, that could
In a box made out of wood
Reminding us, of childhood
When life, was smooth
