Bikes of Helsinki
“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”
– Susan Sontag
World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
Snow, hail or rain trickle
I am none too fickle
I want to ride my bike

Mundane Monday
“To bring the sublime into the mundane is the greatest challenge there is.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Chocolate bars on a Rainy Day
When it rains and pours,
Thunderstorm with lightning
Can be very frightening
All the outside flickering
Windy draught, from all doors
Better not stand there shivering
Get under the covers
Think, what wonders you can discover
In a big, big chocolate bar!

Old Tree
Ye old tree
How I envy thee
Growing strong
With a life very long
Even the birds
Singing you a song
What could go wrong?
Well,
Give me a chainsaw, and I’ll show you

Made of Wood
A strong support structure
Fitted into the architecture
For home sweet home
Built in the suburban zone

Weed
“It’s just weed,
No use it, to further feed”
“But it’s purple and pretty,
Wouldn’t killing it be a pity?”

Asphalt
Rainfall
On the asphalt
Like bitter tears
Filled with salt
Oh bummer!
It’s no one’s fault
So just put the blame
On summer

I’ll follow if You lead
Where ever you’ll go
I will follow
You are my human
I am your dog-man
I don’t care if you wear pink
Even though others say it stinks
So let’s end this in a rhyme
And I will ‘go’ on the chime

Fire in the Sky for SL-Week
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Red Smokey Clouds
Clouds hanging low
Red and thick
The fiery glow
Like a magical trick
The sun is setting
There is no betting
No reading between the lines
If it will rain or shine
Tomorrow

Fire in the Sky for SL-Week
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
Fire in the Treeline
The smell of burning wood
Filling the air of the neighbourhood
Ignited by the burning sun
Fires burning until done
Nothing to be done
And nowhere to run…
“Did anyone bring the marshmallows for the roasting then?”

Sinking Sun
The sinking sun
Creating waves
In the horizon
If you brave
Into the water
Then a daughter
In the kingdom
Of mighty Poseidon
Will be your fortune
