Upside

Upside

Sometimes life feels upside down

it’s hard to turn around

everything just flips and spins

Reflect

Look down to see the way up.

Took this yesterday evening when the water in the fjord was on its very best behavior. Ha de Gött!

Mosquito

Mosquito

Little ordinary mosquito
flying so incognito
buzzing in the wood
looking for blood
a promising success
ended in dire distress
his sneaky attack
ended with a whack
now this cunning mosquito
is all finito

One of the summers more annoying little creatures. Still so important for the circle of life. Ha de Gött!

IT?

IT?

Laptop, a bent knee

Desktop, the Sunday roast

Mouse, wire_less

Printer, ink stained fingertips

Bug, on the windshield

Hard drive, hole-in-one

Root, pull the weed out

Library, oh those books

Archive, just in case

File, secret volumes

Keyboard, Ebony and Ivory

Firewall, hot topic

Virus, turns all to zero

IT, Intelligence Terminated

With all those down to earth words how the ….. can it be so difficult? Ha de Gött!

Agunnaryd

Agunnaryd

For home decoration went to IKEA
thinking, what a splendid idea
Took the escalator to the maze
furniture, furniture like a haze
Stumbled down the stairs
families and in love pairs
Grab a four wheel trolley
isle after isle, what a folly
Package after package all flat
collecting it all like a rat
Full car, what have I done
my little wife is all gone
Put me in a dire spot
forgot her at the parking lot

In case you wonder IKEA stands for Ingmar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd after the founder’s name and birth place in Sweden. Ha de Gött!

Midsummer Eve

Midsummer Eve

Midsummer eve full of mystery

Midsummer eve pale night light

Midsummer eve flowers and bees

Midsummer eve family and friends

Midsummer eve herring and snaps

Midsummer eve children dance around

Midsummer eve stay up all night

Midsummer eve family and friends

The midsummer celebration is as special to us Swedes as others countries national day. I described this in last years midsummer blog post. Find it here. Ha de Gött!

Barb Wire

Barb Wire

Barb Wire, would not let anybody in

Barb Wire, would not let anybody out

Barb Wire, integrity so strong

Barb Wire, touch and get stuck

Barb Wire, leave you scratched and scared

Barb Wire, galvanized with trust

Barb Wire, neglected to rust

Barb Wire, would not let nobody out

Barb Wire, would not let nobody in

Barb Wire, all alone

Ha de Gött!
