“I know that if odour were visible, as colour is,
I’d see the summer garden in rainbow clouds”
Robert Bridges
Colour in the Shadows
There it lurks
In the deep dark shadows
Soon bursting out, in fireworks
In one big colourful pose

“Green was the silence, wet was the light,
the month of June trembled like a butterfly.”
― Pablo Neruda
Christmas in Summer
It’s almost, like Christmas
In the month of June
Nature, ever so fearless
When summer, came so soon
Reds and greens
Pretty, in every scene
Something, unseen
On this, widest of screens
Is it live or memorex?
It’s as good, as any guess
But wouldn’t settle, for less
After all, the winter was, a big mess
Enjoy it, while it lasts
For this season, too, will pass
And if there is any chance
Record it all, en mass

“If you go anywhere,
even paradise,
you will miss your home”
Malala Yousafzai
Paradise Found
It was just covered with frost
In the end of a very long autumn
This was what it cost
To get back from the bottom
Paradise,
It was never lost
It was, just forgotten

“What good is the warmth of summer,
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck
Closed for Summer
The sign stated boldly:
“Closed for summer”
Oh, what an unexpected bummer!
And here, I rented this hummer
To roam around the countryside
In a built up haze of wonder!
Pacing around the yard
Knowing full well I could not get far
A smile upon my face
Yes, this is the place
I would make my case
“What if I just break in?
Surely, that would not be a great sin?
After squatting for a week or two,
Just leave a kind thank you note and a payment too?
That would teach them a lesson
Not with the tourist of summer to be messin'”
“Closed for summer my derrière!
From now on, this summer just got merrier!”

“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!

“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!
Posted in Seat Sunday
“When in Finland, sit where the Finns do”
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!”
