World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki: Intro

This week’s World Wide Wednesday is visiting the town of Helsinki. A city way up north, where reindeer roam the streets, it snows in summer and people are rarely seen or heard of…

But seriously, a very nice summer city to visit, my former hometown and very clean, lush and sunny, except when it rains… And it does, a lot 😉 So welcome to Hel-sinki!

Details of the Island

Odds and ends in large number
Just some of the island’s many wonders
One of these is not like the others
Point it out if it you really bothers

Lava Terrain

Land filled with sand and rock
At this point no-one will shock
Just pile them in a block
And a nice dwelling you will rock

“It is better to travel well than to arrive” Buddha

Bird Watching

Tough little birdie
Maybe a little nerdie
In the storm’s eye watching
Hoping some flies be catching
The humans down below stalking
The birdie them mocking
Knowing the winds he’ll be dodging
While the humans away will be washing

Secret Hideaway

Known only for a few
So secret, believed not true
If everyone would have a clue
We all would soon be screwed 😉

“It is better to travel well than to arrive” Buddha

Closed Quarters

What secrets are installed
Behind the tall white walls
Tourists having a ball?
Children playing with dolls?
The great match of baseball?
Or even the great falls?
Maybe some spaghetti and meatballs?
You won’t know,
Until this number you’ll call!

Ready for my Close-Up!

Vibrant sun reddened leaves
Slowly in the wind to heave
And most colourful patterns
In the air will weave

Early hours in the morning
The water warm and inviting
The turquoise by the sun lightened
No use the urge fighting
Just jump in and enjoy it!

Bathtub View

“Welcome to our humble house”
The sign said
As I lazily in the bathtub laid
Of course I was the one who paid
But it was well worth every cent
