Amaryllis (two)

“Where, here and there, on sandy beaches
A milky-bell’d amaryllis blew”
Tennyson

Amaryllis

But this gorgeous flower
Has all the power
To entertain me, for hours

On the windowsill
Standing quite still

Red Berries for Daily Photo (one)

“I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an ‘errie’ in it!”
Jordin Sparks

Red Berries for Daily Photo 

Red as cherries
Tasty as berries
But do not eat
Or off your feet
Down, down
Onto the ground
You will fall

A result of the garden project:
Shiny red objects
Round and perfect
Sun on them reflect
Them do you respect
But do not collect
And eat them and then expect
A great feeling to resurrect
Rather sooner than later
A really bad effect
In your stomach’s crater
You will detect

Sunrise
Or sunset?
It may be in the eyes
Of the onlooker
Or however the picture
Was devised

Little Red Taxi Bike for Daily Photo

Sitting pretty,
For everyone’s like
The proud little red taxi bike
Cleaned and polished
Some say,
Even a little snobbish

It may be admired
And highly inspired
But
When the lights are off
It’s time to go soft

And start dreaming
Of the busy streets
Riding along
To a different beat

Red and delicious
But also treacherous
Brew a pot of tea
Even use as a medicine
But try not to get them on your skin
Or you’ll be itching
From here to December!

August Days in Espoo for Daily Photo

“August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I’ve been listening to in the late spring and summer” Henry Rollins

Red

“I see red”
Said Ted
As toward the shed
Painted red
He quickly fled

Unfortunately
A fence,
Also, painted red
Made his trek
Short instead

Red for Mundane Monday (One)

Red for Mundane Monday

“I didn’t like mundane life” Jeanne Calment

Red Eyes

Glowing red hot streaks of light
Staring, still scared to lose my sight
Instincts kicking in: Fight or flight

Getting closer and closer
Movement slower and slower
Breathing lower and lower

Questions, filling my mind
What kind of monsters do I find
Will they be bad or will they be kind

“Well, guess there is only one way to find out”
She said out loud
And then, she opened the box…
