Beach life

Beach life

The water surface shimmers with green and blue. Waves break, softly against the yellow and brown sandy beach. A small splash as water hit a stone embedded in the soft sand. One lonely seagull lands gracefully in the water, to check the visitor out. Driftwood washed up by the latest storm. Private beach, time for a skinny-dip.

8°C in the air and 8°C in the water. I already got a cold so I stayed on the beach. Ha de Gött!

Rush hour

Rush hour

Rush hour in Havstenssund. The autumn evening shadow gently cover the houses, as the sun sets behind the cliffs. The little village prepare for the winter. Lobster fishermen moor their boats in the harbor. There is a chilly wind but in the street it is calm, sheltered by the houses and the white fences. Take a left to the gorge or go straight down to the harbor. Smell the fresh salted wind and listen to the boats tough by. Feel alive.

Breath in breath out, ha de Gött!

Winding road

Winding road

There is a winding road. Winding along the forest.

Winding from here to there. A winding to the unknown.

From past time winding history. Till today’s winding reality.

News winding way to milk pallet. Mailman winding a letter down the box.

Wireless connection, pling in phone. Countryside winding down.

Know the past to dare explore, ha de Gött!

100% Autumn

100% Autumn

Colorful thick for winter cold days.

Soft rustling, smelling of chilly fresh October rain.

Still wind quilts autumn cover for Mother Earth.

King Frost wait around the bend.

Keep warm, hug your loved ones, ha de Gött!

Juniper leaf

Juniper leaf

Just resting on the way down. Even the sharpest juniper spikes offers a resting place. Waiting for that gust, that gust of wind for the final journey.

Have a lovely weekend, ha de Gött!

The Red Tractor

The Red Tractor

along meadows and fields
pulling
cutting deep in rich soil
plowing

sturdy and strong the red tractor

seagulls land like snowflakes
feast
new over old fade to brown
turning

Promted by a comment from John Malone to my tractor post. In relation to ‘William Carlos Williams’ poem ‘The Red Wheelbarrow’ I made this humble attempt to a ‘red tractor poem’.

What red things do you like to have a poem written to? Ha de Gött!

Door handle

Door handle

Handle never pressed

to friendly welcome open
slammed shut in anger
opened gently to say sorry 

Handle never pressed

slowly, by tiny children's hands, night before Christmas
to lock teenager out after first taste of freedom 
to squeak after boys night out 

Verdigris green and rusted, left out under the blue sky 

Not a single time open, but never ever closed

Found this handle at the house never built that I wrote of a year ago, find it here.

Handle life with care, ha de Gött!
