SL-Week 12: Animal

“Until one has loved an animal a part of one’s soul remains unawakened” Anatole France

SL-Week 12: Animal

The Hedgehog,
Thinking he’s a quard dog
Leaping out of the fog
Putting the fear of god
In everyone who dared to gawk

The Squirrel,
Cute with his tail in spiral
He surely ain’t resting on his laurels
So don’t get into a quarrel
You may end up in turmoil

The Donkey,
He is surely no monkey
But rather the spunky
When he is honking
And hoofs on the ground stomping

All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up” Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard

Autumn Close-Ups

When the nature has shed
Summer’s green
The colours of red
Is all that is seen
Leaves and berries
Even the cherries
Shining brightly
So tread lightly
When stepping into nature

“Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star” W. Clement Stone

September Moon

The view from my room
A beautiful crescent moon
Lighting the dark night sky
How I would love to fly
High up, up there
Into the stratosphere
And visit the man on the moon
Like shown in the cartoon

“Keep looking up! I learn from the past, dream about the future and look up. There’s nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day” Rachel Boston

September Sunset

The evening sky painted red
Unfortunately it was time for bed
But chose to go out instead
And admire the colourful display
Mother nature had sprayed
From her can of colourful paint
Snapped a few pix
Just for the kicks
Before the nightly eclipse

Stormy Weather

Posted on by

“The storm starts, when the drops start dropping. When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping” Dr. Seuss

Stormy Weather

Thunder and lightning
Onto the ground striking
The stormy weather
Bringing hail and rain
Forget the touch of the feather
No more dreams of the sunny
Time to wake up honey
We are not in Spain
Anymore…

“If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm” Frank Lane

September Rain

Rain, rain, rain
Falling down the plain
The little droplets
On the surface
Colours of autumn
Fully in blossom

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Helsinki City Centre in Black and White

“Once a year go somewhere you have never been before” Dalai Lama

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Helsinki City Centre in Black and White

Welcome to Hel-sinki!
Did you land here quite unexpectedly?
Please, have a look around
It’s more pleasant than it sounds
Nice, clean, safe and poetic
Our small town of the idyllic
We’re way up North
But well while the worth
Of making a short trip
Even with a tall ship
So stay a while, take a look around
You may be surprised of what you found
