Snowy Seat on a Sunday

It may be cold outside
With lots of frosted snow
But as the sun comes from its hide
You need to take it slow
Take a seat for a while
Even if it’s not your style
And simply enjoy with a smile…

But, thank goodness: It’s almost summer now!

“The only photograph I regret, is the one I did not take”

Verbania, Italy

A tiny town
Where no one wears a frown
Put on your gown
Come on down town
And join the crowd
Because,
The festivities
Have already begun

Porvoo for World Wide Wednesday 1

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” Saint Augustine

Porvoo

The old town of Porvoo
A home away from home
Flew there like a crow
Stated ,when in Rome…
Found the nearest cafe
Which was close to the bay
Enjoyed the sunny day
Until turn of eve
When it was time to leave

Mundane Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

Monolith for Fav Foto Friday

Posted in Fav Foto Friday

“Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution” Ansel Adams

what-is-it

Monolith

Tall, dark and mysterious
Standing by itself, all serious
Staring at it, getting nervous
Or maybe just a little delirious

Helsinki for World Wide Wednesday (4)

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese

esplanade-2

Esplanade

Down the esplanade
We like to parade
With a gentle sway
For a while in the cafes stay
Until summer will fade
And to indoors we will trade

aleksi-2

Aleksanterinkatu

The fearless leader from Russia
Made such a fuss-ia
Wanted a statue
And a street no less
As a name sake
Oh, we are no fools
And know he was a fake
He had his dues
But I must confess
The names sound kinda cool!

Seat Sunday: A Bench to Sit on I two

Posted in Seat Sunday

“I don’t generally like running.
I believe in training by rising gently up
and down from the bench”
Satchel Paige

A Bench to Sit on

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

A Heart for Valentine’s Day

Posted in Simply Poetry

“Love myself I do”

A Heart

A heart for the humanity
A heart for the world
A heart for the animals
A heart for the hurt
A heart for the lucky ones
A heart for the charmed
A heart for my dear one
You are lots of fun
With your phasers on stun
Got me to unarm
A heart for myself
Heck, I just wanted to be heard
Good Lord, what a nerd!
A heart for all of you
And now, you know what to do
Have a happy Wednesday
Have a happy Friends Day
Hell, even have a happy Valentine’s Day!
