Whatcha looking at

“Hey, you, are you looking at me?” Gun Roswell

Whatcha looking at

What the hell are you
Looking at? Is there something wrong in
The way I appear to

You? Would you want me
To change something in my appearance perhaps
Or just my face huh?

I don’t like people staring
I don’t enjoy them throwing food at
Me either, so stop now!

I am not a cow
But a really gorgeous Swan, you see
No? Just look at my

Reflection on the water’s surface
I am so damned good looking, no
One here in my kingdom

Dare to challenge me, or
Is it you, who will be the one?
Then I say: game on!

Ship ahoy!

“Hailing a ship, may sound easy” Gun Roswell

Ship ahoy!

Ship, ship, please, do stop!
I want to step on board and catch
A ride, sail on the

Ocean, with the best of
Them, but alas, I am a mere
Hitchhiker, of the waters, and

Trying to catch a ride
Is very hard, but please pick me
I will work so hard!

Solitary sailing

“Solitary is a mood and a place” Gun Roswell

Solitary sailing

Sailing in my tiny dingy
Across the open seas, as far as
I can be, I have

No schedules and no one
To tell me I cannot do it
For I am sailing solo

Abandoned

“A place time forgot” Gun Roswell

Abandoned

A doorway to nowhere specific
Grass growing, no one mowing the lawn
Would you buy this place?

“Always the feeling of blue, present” Gun Roswell

Blue on blue

Blue, the colour of air
Blue, painted on to the lonely chair
Blue, waves hitting the shores

World Wide Wednesday in Evia, Greece

“We travel,
some of us forever,
to seek other places,
other lives,
other souls.”
– Anais Nin

Evia

No sun a shining
When the storm clouds
Fill the horizon
Time to sail ashore
Before the all mighty Thor
Hits his hammer

The wind’s subsiding
The mist arising
It’s all calm
After the storm

Blue skies
Blue waters
No need,
To go any further

World Wide Wednesday in Cyprus

“Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.” – Babs Hoffman

Cyprus

A shot, quite familiar
In many ways, similar
For each and every traveller

Down the hill
Feel the chill
Enjoy the thrill!

Carved in stone
Possibly with bone
Record of the past
Made to last

Lighthouses

The white houses
Saving lives
Oh, so many times

The Finnish Dream for Favourite Foto Friday

“Do not cross the brook for water” Finnish proverb

The Finnish Dream

A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight
If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finns existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator
