Jokes and puns, they had

Rock hard punch line

Debate words, delivered with

Rock hard punch line

Leg it, outrun the long

Rock hard punch line

Lover, not a fighter, ha de Gött!

Today

Today

Thought I wouldn’t put up a blog today

Didn’t really have anything to say

It would be silent as a log

Today on my little blog

But words kept poppin’ out, okay

So here it is anyway

Just do it, ha de Gött!

Sky drama

Sky drama

The navigation mark ‘Ulsholms Kalv’ in sunset. After a day with an absolutely clear sky these dramatic clouds appeared.

Sun in place like a whole note on the staff . Birds sing out the last tune of the evening. All is lined up for the evening drama.

(I hope I got the music terms correct. Whole note is according to Wikipedia, American English and the British English term is semibreve.)

Stay in line, ha de Gött!

Fast and Slow

Fast and Slow

Fast flowing water splashing down the steep.

For a moment, by night frost stilled.

By the suns warming rays, join the joy ride to the sea.

All that matter, solid, liquid and gas, ha de Gött!

Capital of Violence

Capital of Violence

Brass, straight lines, motion in perfect symmetry

Capital of violence

Cohesive, chest ornaments, balcony of small men

Capital of violence

Fear, drumming boots, waving of enabling masses

Capital of violence

Heroes, historic claims, brothers in arms

Capital of violence

King, leader of choice, our way of life

Capital of violence

Portrait, son and daughter, tears of a mother

Capital of violence

Flags, coffins draped, flapping in the wind

Capital of violence

My heart goes out to all mothers seeing their sons and daughters coming back in a black bag.

Ball

Ball

Kicked around, goal, netted, offside.

Laughter, cries, joy, celebration.

Desire of twenty-two, referee, cheering crowd.

Trimmed lawn, sidelines, corner shot.

Still, locked in, forgotten, rotten.

Round the ball is, ha de Gött!

Playing

Playing

play mates
forest and water
swirling down the hill 

in an whimsical stop and go

water push trough 
forests attempts to hold back
its friend 

float along 
branch and stick
see where it goes 

to the noisy roaring ocean wind 

freeze a moment in cold north wind
rippling to birds accompaniment
and treetops whooshing

till we meet again

Stay in the moment, ha de Gött!

Sail Away

Sail Away

Lonely fisherman sailing out to sea

Navigating shallow waters, inserts and island

Cliffs scraped naked by wind, not a single tree

Confidently steers along coast and strand

True and simple, a way to be

Life is a voyage, navigate with caution, ha de Gött!

Frozen seeds

Frozen seeds

Waiting for the playful spring winds

sail away to the soft thawing soil

kissed by the innocent April sun

sprout out tall bright and green

eaten by a hungry cow, shit!

Green, green grass of home, ha de Gött!
