The ens of the road

“Beach, finally here!” Gun Roswell 

 

Take a short walk along the long pier
Dip your toes into the water when you get there 
Feel the summer breeze on your burning skin
Let the holiday feeling finally sink in 

Stay a while at the very end of the pier
Let the sunny rays wash away any fears 
Of letting go of the mundane And embrace the upon coming fun day 

Take a slow walk back to the beach 
Then turn to look at the glimmering sea
Just remember you can always return 
Until it’s time for the leisure time to adjourn 

Orange and Tall Shadows

“It might be late in the summer, autumn time even, but the colours are as vivid as ever, in the local small market place“ Gun Roswell

Helsinki, Finland

The shadows so tall, as the setting sun is going down, now the summer is finally over, but fear not, as the colourful tents at the market place, will continue the spirit of the warm season long until the end of autumn, only disappearing with the first signs of snow, and even then, the more bolder shopkeepers, will brave the elements, while setting up their orange tents each and every day, until the winter storms settle over the place for good.

Some flowers of the day

“Even the smallest flower, has the power!” Gun Roswell
 



 
 Sitting, quietly, even prettily
 In the green grass, so waste
 Looking more, like a pool so long
 Continued, to infinity and beyond 
 
 The total power, of summer
 Grew up, with the answer
 Of what is, the meaning of it all
 Nothing, but flowers of course
 
 Soft, bright, gorgeous, smelly little things
 Which will make your heart openly sing
 Colours, odours, can be all yours
 For a moment at least, consider a lease
 
 All the summer long!

Pool in Winter

“Winter is not the same everywhere” Gun Roswell

Early hours in the morning
The water warm and inviting
The turquoise by the sun lightened
No use the urge fighting
Just jump in and enjoy it!

Motorised!

“Sometimes, walking won’t do.” Gun Roswell

They are motorised
Some may even tantalise
All vehicles great and small
Some faster, some crawl
Dented or ship shape
You cannot escape
Stopping and glaring
With nostrils flaring

“I want one!”

Bench on the Acropolis

“A hot seat, right there in the sun!” Gun Roswell

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

Porvoo River

“Sometimes taking a trip doesn’t have to last a whole week.” Gun Roswell

The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo

Acropolis in Athens

Posted on by

“Something about history, about the good old times?” Gun Roswell

Acropolis of Athens
Who knows, what happens
In this place of fun
And place of knowledge

The Parthenon, Propylaia and Erechtheion
Just to name a few of them
One named after the mighty
And powerful Athene Nike

Join us on this uphill travel
Maybe some mysteries will unravel
While roaming the ancient ruins
Like some pilgriming druids

Palma Nova

“Sometimes, when seaside, take a ride, it’s fun!” Gun Roswell

Palma Nova
The sweetest Rosa
Of the island Mallorca

Welcomes
The weary traveler
A world’s passenger

Come
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach

Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be

Helsinki Skyline

“The city ever changing, but some things simply remain the same” Gun Roswell

Helsinki, Finland

The city might be small in comparison to so many others, but there is no reason, to neglect and not to check out what it has to offer.

It may lay out there far in the north, but having its own mirth, with old school buildings, surrounded by the blue seas, the pearl of the Baltic Sea in a way, so do, stay for a while.

The gadgets small too, with a more than few sights to see, or then a tour around the city skyline, on a boat small but with terrific views, which ever way you choose to travel, this place, will not leave you in peril.
