“Winter covers the world in crystal white magic”
Carolyne Roehm
Frosted
Like icing on the cake
Frosting forms on the window
Where ever the wind cold blows
The fragile frozen flakes
Suddenly, without warning, appearing
Before once more disappearing
Shapes for the imagination
The nature’s true creation
Trying them to capture
Preserve for the future
Always fails
The only thing, which remains
Is a tall tale
Without any trail

“There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter”
Billy Connolly
Writers note: The same applies here in Finland 😉
Winter, Winter
Oh winter, winter
You are such a splinter
In our collective derrières
Oh winter winter
I am using my printer
Producing images of summer
Oh winter winter
The whitish tinter
Gets old really fast
Oh winter winter
Do I really sound bitter
Just kidding, I’ll get by 😉

“Make it so!”
Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Tea Time
Tea, hot, with a twist of lemon
Maybe enjoyed even in Bremen
The delightful aroma
Can lull you to a coma
In company or solitude
It is a prelude
To a life’s passion
A sweet sensation
When into the dark liquid dipping
Whether gulping or sipping
Enjoy the moment of pure bliss
For who could resist
Tea time
Posted in Anecdotes/Throwback Thursday
“As we grow older, our bodies get shorter and our anecdotes longer” Robert Quillen
Anecdote Time:
Never judge a book by its cover. A paperback can be just as entertaining as hardcover.
If you want to dwell in the past, buy yourself a time machine.
You have to learn how to walk before you can run. I found out that the hard way after my hip-surgery.
Looking into a mirror is like… Well, you obviously need to take a selfie!
Time, time, precious time, where have you gone? Don’t tell me, you lost your watch again?
In my youth, the grass was always greener, food tasted better and life was much happier… Then we woke up and put the dog out to pee.
Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes… Be damned sure they are the same size as your own ones!
Today, I woke up, the day was stormy, the skies were gray, my mind felt dull... Well, you can’t always expect to be in the tropics, now can you Dearie?
Don’t do as I do, do as I say! Apparently, you can get away with murder?
People who are smart, beautiful and talented… Really piss me off!

“Not fitting in just means you’re in the wrong place”
If There is a Wrong Place and a Wrong Time, I’ll be There
A sale of shoes
Small sizes only
feeling bold
Into the men’s section
I wandered
No time to loose
A nice pair of boots
Fitting like a glove
I am in love
A passer by
Asks me to pose
For a picture
To be a feature
In the paper
In my raggedy jeans
Crashing a party
Of the cocktail kind
A piece of a pie
Instructing all to jive
I was an
Overnight sensation
Even without
The proper presentation
Dancing the night away
With a hip and a sway
In my way to a show
My face in a glow
Hoping premium seats to score
Then a let down
All sold out
Feeling like clown
My face in a frown
Life is a bore
Sitting in the entry way
Sobbing
‘Hey lady’ I hear
Can you sing?
In my mind a ding
My heart is throbbing
Without remorse
I join the chorus
Singing my heart out
Without a doubt
The best night
Of my entire life
Despite the lack
Of several facts
I can’t dance, act or even sing

“Careful how you play your card, when you have a queen in your hand”
I, am the Queen, of Fucking Everything!
Who am I?
You dare to ask me?
Or are you playing shy?
Or do you task me?
Do you not know who I am?
I am everyone
And I am no one
I know all
Still I am alone
I own everything
And I own nothing
I rule the world
Yet, I rule nothing
I rule your world
I rule you
I am gorgeous
I am sexy
I am marvellous
I am perplexing
Hardly ordinary
I am, extraordinaire
All the adjectives you can imagine
No one quite my kin
I can do anything
I can do everything
I can go everywhere
You can find me anywhere
And don’t you dare
To disagree with me
Or I will give you the scare
For contradicting me
Why?
You ask
The reason is
this simple thing
I am the Queen of
Fucking Everything!

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia”
Ellen Hopkins
Sepia
The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last
Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne
Around the World in Black and White
Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise
