What ever your heart may desire…

Well, then you’ve come to the wrong place
But we do like to cater to the buyer
In this old historic space
They commonly call
The Market Hall

Harbour Area

A slow boat to Sweden
Or a catamaran to Tallinn
If you are looking for Eden
Well, maybe
But you better be all in!

Mundane Monday

“Who can say what astonishments are hidden inside the most mundane being?”
Kate DiCamillo

Apples

apples-1

“How about them apples, then?”
Asked Sven

Sinking his teeth into one
He knew he had just won

“I’ll give this a full ten!”

Mayweeds

The flowerbeds’ seed
Looks like weed
But, pretty indeed
Let’s call them
Mayweeds
Even, if it’s summer!

Mundane Monday

“Who can say what astonishments are hidden inside the most mundane being?”

Mushrooms

mushrooms-1

Look what the rain brought:
Mushrooms, and not store bought
Popping up from the ground
Making a squishing sound
And waiting to be found

Closed Gates

“What can be found,
behind door number two?”
Surely a question,
Answered only for a few

Happy Birthday Nephew! for SL-Week 51: Two

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Birthday
Photography /Poetry /Tale /Dialogue /Humour

Happy Birthday Nephew! for SL-Week 51

“Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Jim
Happy birthday to you.”

The Birthday Boy

“Dig into the cake son”
The father urged
His head turned
As the birthday boy
Was about to enjoy
The much deserved treat
Which was definitely not meat
But a juicy summer’s strawberry tart
Made by mom, straight from the heart

The Cake

The aroma of the strawberry cake
We all knew, that was not a fake
It was all done for the sake
Of the birthday celebration on this date

“Who am I that I have to sing under an umbrella? These people are my fans, and if they can stand in the rain to hear me sing, I can stand in the rain” Bobby Darin

Umbrella 

Step under my umbrella
We can sing in a cappella
Like we were the Ella
Just out of hella
Lady or a fella

Let’s create a novella
You can play the Stella
Prance around like a gazella
Maybe invite the Cinderella
Even if she is vanilla

There is no dilemma
Here what I tell ‘Ya
It’s quite the Rockwell’a
So step under my umbrella
Just out of the hella

“Snow and then some!”

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently up the hill
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a chill
