Word Wide Wednesday Presents, Porvoo, Finland, Part Two
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
Writing 101, Day Seven: Let social media inspire you
One of the goals of Writing 101 is to tap into new and unexpected places for post ideas. Today, let’s look to Twitter for inspiration. Don’t worry — you don’t need an account to participate in this prompt. Even if Twitter isn’t your thing, you might be surprised that you can find starting points for our own writing in other people’s tweets.
Today, write a response to one of these tweets. Shape your post in any way you choose — agree or disagree with the tweet, or use it as a starting point for a story, personal essay, poem, or something else.
“Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill” Christopher Parker
Writing 101, Day Seven: Let social media inspire you
“I can’t decide if procrastination kills creativity or is essential to it.”
Dancing, romancing
Laughing, prancing
Completely trancing
Time fast advancing
Panic quickly attacks
There is no turning back
Time was supposed to lack
Or maybe I am a quack
I was supposed to do
An essay, story, poem or a few
If I only had the slightest clue
I would not be feeling blue
Right now
Was I procrastinating?
Maybe just contemplating?
Planning my next writing?
Or simply, just waiting?
A simple prompt enough
Not too a difficult task
But if I must, I must
With these words at last
I am not going to be defeated
And this poem is completed

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”
“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous” Bill Moyers
Heavy Metal
Up the stairs
Down the stairs
clicking and clacking of heals
On the heavy metal seals
If you’re running fast
The echoes will last
All the way up
Or way down

How well do you know your algebra?
It is as easy as one, two, three
Even before you can boot your PC
The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said

“I enter the world called real as one enters a mist” Julien Green
Early Morning Mist with a touch of Red
The eerie morning mist
Before the sun has kissed
The clouds a grayish shade
Before the mist will fade
The skies slowly turning into red
Looking forward to the day ahead
Will it be another day filled with sunshine
Or do I rain and cold wind only find?
“The most complicated skill is to be simple” Dejan Stojanovic
It’s only complicated if you are stupid
“It’s complicated”
Don’t you just hate it
The comment that pops up
Like excuses, filling the cup
But it’s not, really, is it?
It’s just a made up quip
It is actually very simple
Super sweet, short and simple
Think smart and on the dot
Lying down or on your feet
Something made up on the spot
Or even profoundly deep
If it’s not rocket science
The appliance
Is usually elementary
And easily supplementary
So lay down the stupid
Forget the complicated
Unless you want a pimple
Because life really is very simple
When you get right down to it

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Blue Moment
That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…
…A natural true blue

Just Another Week Day in November
Oh how time flies
Right in front of my eyes
Like a time laps movie
Running by the history
The sun rises and sun sets
Fluffy clouds a wonder
Rain and thunder
Making the ground wet
It used to be January
Now it is already November
Maybe it was just imaginary
Or just something I remember
The Daily Post Photo challenge: Ornate
Forget about subdued and restrained. This week, let’s embrace the breathtakingly extravagant.
“A lot of designs are grounded in history even though they tend to be clean and not overly ornate. The sculptural form is often historic. If you come to our exhibit, a lot of things will look familiar” Ellen Lupton
Ornate, The Natural History Museum of London
A building
Filled with beauty and history
A home to many a -logy
Botany, entomology, mineralogy
Paleontology and zoology
You may bump into a dinosaur
But don’t worry, it will not roar
Explore the various galleries
Where many of Earth’s memories
Are housed
Public engagement and education
Plenty of research and curation
The Darwin centre with specimen
The Attenborough Studio for conservation
Plenty to choose from
