Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday

“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”

Seat in the Sunshine

Basking in the sunshine
Older seats created, before my time
Sit down, you’ll feel just fine
Relaxing is great, once in a while
Before you know it, your face in a smile
A memory lasting into your file

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday

“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”

Seat in the Shadow

Hidden, from prying eyes
Passersby, never realize
How very near, yet so far
These cozy and comfy seats are

Caturday in Kos Island

“Cats rule the world.” Jim Davis

What are you looking at?

“Are you looking at me?
You, looking, me?”

“Nah, I’m just resting here for a while
It’s cool, hope you don’t mind!”

“Well, as long as you remember,
You are in my turf now
So just move along before the clock hits September!”

My Spot 

myspot-1

“Damn it!
There she is again, hanging around, looking, staring, squatting
and clicking that damned box in her hand.
I can’t stand it!
If she won’t leave, I will jump up, draw my nails and then;
‘pow, ping paw’
Quicker than a saw
Scratches be yours and satisfaction be mine!

myspot-2
But, alas, I am so-ooo tired
Too many mice last night I fired
Oh why, oh why,
Can’t she just leave me be, sleeping in here,
Sleeping, here in my spot!”

Making Friends 

making-friends-3

Furry and purring
A real little bundle of joy
Shouted “Ahoy!”

“Are you here to make friends,
because you don’t want to be my enemy”
She said
As out of the bushes she stepped

“Because this is my turf
Which daily I surf.
So what’s it gonna be, smurf?
Scratch behind my ears
Or I’ll scratch you until your eyes fill with tears?”
She acted real tough

But, withholding my snicker
My heart flickered
A good scratch behind the ears
And a little more under the chin
And all I heard after that
Was some grateful purring

Framed for the Daily Post

“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.”

Framed Landscape

Blue skies and sunfried fields
From the bus window do I see
Only a few moments
But time all well spent
And now my reward
Is permanently stored:
A framed landscape
Recorded, onto tape

Framed Ocean View

A perfect hideaway
With a view
Towards the bay
A framed display
Only for today

Seat Sunday in Kos Island

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?” Albert Einstein

Afternoon Snack

A warm afternoon
Finding a seat,
Before I swoon
Feeling quite beat
Needed a drink
When I noticed the pink…

Red, yellow, blue and green
So many colours have I ever seen
Recycled materials
Making me curious
So sitting down
Having a little chow
Enjoying the ambiance
And fitting in the camouflage
