Hanging up here!

“Look! I’m on top of the world Ma!?” Gun Roswell


I was put here on total display Much to my own undesire and dismay
Nobody bothered to ask me if I wanted to stay 

So here I just hang until the end of the day 

I am not discarded nor broken Nor am I anyone’s special token
But I surely used to be for spoken 

Dunno no, if that applies anymore, just hoping 

So some one please come and get me
You can ride me even to the sea
My pedals and saddle are still complete
So hope on and let me drive you easily 

Sunsets in one, two, three!

“Sunset is mother nature’s movie of the night, but much prettier and oh so very bright!” Gun Roswell

Summer memories from a distant land
Holding, treasuring, in my hand
Remembering all the times spent
By the seashore, looking for something heavens sent


Keeping a close eye
Trying something to spy
A spectacle of enormous proportions
Which this darkening night brightens
The sunset most magnificent
Viewed by present day onlookers just like the ancients
Nature art spread across the night skies
There within, the truth of life lies

Cottage in one, two, three!

“Summer fun in so many cottages, it’s getting to a point of annoying really! ” Gun Roswell

Red, yellow, any other colour, or maybe even painted black
The choices for living, really do not lack
Going around and around, never once looking back
As one, after the other, is so much better, than the last
But, for only one week at the time
Spending, my vacation, nearly, on a dime
Even the weather, is ever so fine


And I surely have no complaints, of all these cottages, oh so divine
Juggling amongst these places, some near, some far
Luckily my rucksack is not weighing, so need for a car
Summer still well spent, even if it wasn’t exactly like I had dreamt
But the experience given me so much more
I can go back to the daily grind without immediately being bored
After all, adventure is part of human nature, with or without fear
And this year, I certainly got plenty for the rest of the year

Esplanade – Helsinki

“Take a walk around the city, it’s not that big so it will be easy.” Gun Roswell

Down the esplanade
We like to parade
With a gentle sway
For a while in the cafes stay
Until summer will fade
And to indoors we will trade

Green with Flora

“Green and yellow, in the meadow, those signs of summer for all to see.” Gun Roswell

The floral scene
Filled with green
Like summer beans
Filling this screen

Colour in the Shadows

“One needs a hint of colour in ones life.” Gun Roswell

There it lurks
In the deep dark shadows
Soon bursting out, in fireworks
In one big colourful pose

Ripples on the Water

Posted on by

“Something so mysterious about those ripples forming there, like mini wormholes they be.” Gun Roswell

Soon, September comes with sniffles
Thought of that gives me wrinkles
Looking at the water’s surface filled with ripples
As it smiles with all its dimples
Life in August, smooth and simple
And today, is Friday, so just whistle

Someone’s idea of a summer home?

Posted on by

“There are plenty of summer cottages out there, just need to look for them, maybe stay there for free?” Gun Roswell

The rather flimsily built house,
Perhaps not even fit for a field mouse,
But it’s well ventilated just the same,
Even if it does not hold that much thunder and rain,
Alas, during a day of most perfect sunshine;
It’s the best place to inside hide,
Just remember to wear lots of sunblock!

Lanzarote Part Three

“It’s like a blast from the past, all that volcanic land!” Gun Roswell

Scenic views
Ocean of blue
Fluffy clouds
Dancing allowed

Palm trees
In abundance
Sunshine
With substance

Lanzarote Part Two

Posted on by

“Something about the island far far away, out there on the ocean… something mysterious?” Gun Roswell



A stroll around down town
A Lidl and a few shoeshops found
Time for a scenic break
Before to the road we take
Down to the busy harbour
Checking both port and starboard
Both filled with tourists a flocking
Guess it wasn’t shocking
After all, a pleasent place
A seashore the perfect interface
