Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days, Part One
Mundane Monday?
No, not today
Snow, snow and then some
What more is yet to come?

“I’d like to be able to travel anywhere in an instant” Jason Behr
Word Wide Wednesday Presents, Porvoo, Finland, Part Six
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…

Word Wide Wednesday Presents, Porvoo, Finland, Part Five
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
Listen to the poll
And take little stroll
Pick up a doll
And do a little dance
Take a chance
On the wide expanse
Of the historic streets
Of Porvoo
Poetry & Photography
An homage to the Swan, the national bird of Finland
“The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood” Heinrich Heine
Swans
Majestic and regal
Equal to an eagle
A bird of the royals
Worthy of the nobles
Beauties in flight
Whitest of knights
From the blue skies
Watch the dive
The black swan
Swimming at dawn
Her dark shadow
Contrast to snow
In honour of the month of November and beginning of Winter
Poetry, Photography, Song
“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation” Paul Theroux
Sunday, 22nd of November, Part Two
On the 22nd day of November
The snow fall finally came
And one centigrade of minus degrees…

Sunday, 22nd of November, Part One
On the 22nd day of November
The snow fall finally came
And one centigrade of minus degrees
The white dust on the ground
Everywhere to be found
Where the heck is my car
Couldn’t have left it far
Grabbed the snow shovel
Moving my muscles
Soon the path is clear
Feeling like a pioneer
On the 22nd day of November
The icy cold rain
Hit the bloody plane
Due to one centigrade of minus degrees
I just hope the roads won’t ice over
Or I’ll be prancing like a four leaf clover
Trying to cross the roads
In the early morning hours
On my way to work
Trying not to go berserk
When it’s really dark
Only dogs will bark
On the 22nd day of November
The snow fall finally came
The icy cold rain
Hit the bloody plane
Due to one centigrade of minus degrees

(Sunday 22-11-2015)
“Because it’s a bench”
Old Town Benches
Sit down
Have a rest
In the old town
No need for stress
The history
Of this city
In one glance
Fall into a trance
Close your eyes
Let the millenia
Take you down
The memory lane
In honour of the month of November
Poetry, Photography, Song
“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather” John Ruskin
On the 21st day of November
On the 21st day of November
My true love sent to me
One centigrade of minus degrees
On the 21st day of November
My true love also sent to me
Lots of icy cold rain
Several snowflakes of dancing
And one centigrade of minus degrees
On the 22nd day of November
I wish for my true love to send to me
Many more warm degrees
Much of sunshine weather
Or a trip to Hawaii
Posted in response to Minttu Gustafsson’s Facebook challenge:
A three day three selfie challenge
“I am who I am, your approval isn’t needed”
Elevator Selfies
Selfies
Self-imposed snaps
When ever, where ever
Is a matter of fact
Never say never
You might get caught
In selfie pose of sorts
With the camera
Held in your hand
Lens facing yours
Was it planned?
Never mind, I won’t tell
No breaking the spell
Selfies are the now
And then
