“When in Finland, celebrate as the Finns do!”

Kippis, Skål, Cheers, Sante, Salud, Prost!

Happy wishes for the Midsummer
May your celebration be free of bummer
Enjoy the warmth and the sun
May your existence be filled with fun
Time’s a-wasting’, nothing to spare
So raise your glass high up in the air
Because life is supposed to be a ball
Therefore, wishing you one and all
A happy weekend and a great summer!

Lazy Days

“What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer,
the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months,
and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade”
Gertrude Jekyll

Lazy Days

Sunshine and lazy days
Warmth resting, on my face
Time going, at a slower pace
Hoping, summer, forever stays

Even, if it’s just a window view
Or a perfect image, someone drew
Still, this picture, may just come true
And then, I’ll wear my summer shoes

“When in Finland, sit where the Finns do”

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna Fortress

Green Seat

A little lone seat
Painted in green
Out here in the heat
Maybe old fashioned
And a little compassion
Add some graffiti
And it’ll turn out neat!

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna Fortress

Hurry, reserve that Seat!

“Hurry, hurry!
Someone will steal
That cool seat
And we’ll be left standing
On our two feet!”

Pink Cafe

Cafe in a pink house
Somewhere, thereabouts
Sit down, have a coffee
With a bun, laced with toffee

What on Earth! (four)

“Let’s celebrate this planet on which we live!”

What on Earth!

In the deep of the forest
You’ll find something flawless:

Clear waters soaring
After the rains have stopped pouring
Lush green leaves
In the cool wind heave
Critters and crawlers
Maybe even hidden monsters
This earthly scene
Is nothing to be found in a magazine

So, let out your inner child
And step into to the great wild!

What on Earth!

“I’m still standing,
After all this time:

Boy, did I put a frown
Onto the face of that ‘clown’
When he tried to cut me down!

But, here I am
And I don’t give a damn
Whether I am aesthetically pleasing
On to the eyes easy
Because after all the time
I will still be standing!”

“Let’s celebrate this planet on which we live!”

What on Earth!

In the muddy waters
You’ll find, some earthly squatters
It started with a little bean
Now, standing tall and green

They may not be very pretty
They may not be so clean
But this close to the city
It’s a miracle to be seen

“Let’s celebrate this planet on which we live!”

What on Earth!

A barren rock formation
Nature’s way of renovation
Starting is, a transformation
Life growing, without hesitation

What on Earth! (five)

“Let’s celebrate this planet on which we live!”

What on Earth!

In the dirtiest of soils
Growing unspoiled
Tiny yellow beauties
Those flowery cuties
Despite the weather
Despite the tether
Each and every day
Getting stronger,
Guess, they are here to stay
