“All right, Mr. DeMille,
I’m ready for my close-up”
Gloria Swanson -Sunset Boulevard
Close-Ups
Close-ups
Shots of stuff
No huff nor puff
Objet d’arts
Or something smart
Check them out
Let out a shout
If you like
Or just out of smite

“All right, Mr. DeMille,
I’m ready for my close-up”

Close-Ups
I am soft
But I have thorns
I feel pretty
In my pink colours
I am hard
Watch out!
Better not land
On my rocks

August Days in Espoo for Daily Photo
“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins
Rosehip
Lush and pink
Totally in sync
The little rose
In a pose
Hidden
In the green leaves
In August’s eve

Close Up
“I am ready for my close-up, Ms Photographer Lady!”
No clicks of the shutter can be heard
“Hey lady! Over here! See, pretty as hell!”
Still nothing
“Hey miss-wannabe-photo-snapper, I am standing here, waiting… My time is not cheap you know!”
And yet no luck…
“OK, so now I am really getting pissed: Get your big butt over here and snap some pix, PRONTO!”
The pix-snapper finally reacts: “OK, OK, don’t get your knickers in a twist: I was just polishing my lens…”
“Gee, what a diva…”
“Snap, snap, snap… a presto!”

Solo
Flying solo
When ever the wind blows
And not even snow
Will make me loose my glow….
…Unless I have to stop and my nose blow!

One Among Many
Listen carefully
You might hear the soft whispers
Of the pretty rose sisters
Sitting in the vase neatly…
“Don’t push me!”
“Ouch, that really hurt!”
“You know, your thorns are really sharp!”
“Me, me, me, I want to be first!”

“I just really love the cartoon form. I love the plasticity of it” Roz Chast
Roses
Roses are red, violets are blue
Roses made from cardboard
May be really hard to chew

Mundane Monday
“Almost every Monday I have a charity thing. I like that. I do” Yogi Berra
Red, Red Roses
Roses are red
Violets are blue
And so am I
So try not to mind
This poem has no rhyme

“Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” Gertrude Stein
Roses
A rose in a pose
Her beauty it shows
With petals exposed
If you bend real close
And sniff with your nose
Of a sweet aroma, you’ll get a doze
