World Wide Wednesday in Finland

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

It may be a drawing
A piece of street graffiti
But if you are ready for exploring
In the warmth of Tahiti
Give this little town a chance
Who knows, maybe a glance
Will turn into a permanent stance!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings


Houses, seemingly ordinary
But inside, quit extraordinary
Side by side, in the town square
A common history, do they all share
Equally basking, in the sun’s glare

World Wide Wednesday in Finland

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

Statues, trams and squares
A water fountain with stairs
It’s the centre of the city
By the waters ever so pretty
Therefore, nothing else compares!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Capital Buildings…

The Helsinki Cathedral
Some could say a sequel
But for the city dwellers
This, is the best seller
And a building nothing will equal

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service 

Yell it on the Mountain

A picturesque scenery
Real postcard material
Awaiting most eagerly
So immortalize this miracle

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”

Yell it on the Mountain

Blue
Is the colour today
Keeping
The cold grey at bay
Listen
To nature’s music play
Move along
With your hips in sway
Take a load off
For a while stay
Surely,
This
Is the best way
To spend
This gorgeous day

Yell it on the Mountain (two)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service 

Yell it on the Mountain

From the deepest of valleys
To the highest of mountains
For what better place to dilly-dally
With your heart a pounding
Just move along the shaleys
Enjoying nature and its surroundings

Yell it on the Mountain (four)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service 

Yell it on the Mountain

Rain
Filling the plains
Rain
On the mountains

Pounding
The dry ground
Leaving
Permanent stains
Wherever
Rain remains

Yell it on the Mountain (one)

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”
Robert W. Service 

Yell it on the Mountain

On the highest peak
Of the tallest mountain
You will find what you seek
So go on, give us all a shouting
When you finally dip
Into that youthful fountain
