World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

Amanda

The pretty little lady
Carved out of bronze
Curvy and naked
As cool as the Fonze
Despite over eighty
She’s none too shady

A Whole Lotta Going On

Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!

Seat Sunday 2016-06-26

“Common sense says that chairs and tables exist independently of whether anyone happens to perceive them or not” Charles D. Broad

Choices to make

When in a park cafe
Wishing the rain away
Hard choices to make
Eat a bun or a cake?
Sit on the green or the red
Oh, these hard choices
I have to make!

Occupied/Vacant

A quiet corner
Of a busy street
Like a human recorder
Listening, watching, plotting
For anything, to tweet

Curve for The Daily Post

“In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves” Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

White

“The cone of silence
Expecting only, compliance
We are the all mighty tyrants
All others need guidance
If you remain defiant
We will revoke your license
And throw you off this island!”

Blue

Sky’s light of blue
Burrowing through
No matter what you do
You cannot escape
The true blue

Turquoise

On the dome’s upper decks
A beautiful turquoise vortex
Is flickering its flecks
Creating most perplexed
Special effects

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese

Panorama

The city panorama
Display filled with drama
Well, at least in the words
Of a known Americana!

Mikonkatu

The busy street for walking
Maybe a little stalking
Well, at least in the pricy shops
If you dare inside them drop
You may loose a shirt or few
And maybe, some money too
