snowman's grave -
some of the memories
rinsed out




This one is a formulation for an old idea:


not yet ready,
     the snowman -
child's afternoon nap



There is not any more snows here, though we just got some sleet,
or perhaps not any snowmen seen around here.


An explanation for this problem was this text variation:


running spring waters
rinsing out -
snowman's grave




All this is from a piece of paper
that was hiding inside Louis Zukofsky's "A", page 376:

"An inequality /// wind flower"

(Copyrighted By Louis Z.)

Tasting that text and I should put the word "flower" as "flowers"

?-)


Ps. I understood that Mr. Zukofsky's son does not like to see his father's text borrowed nowhere, but here is just so few words that perhaps no problem?-)

Just a few word
among all the world's poetry
are inequality?

mayday

Snow is frozen rain.
It is soft and white
and often settles on the ground.



(From Oxford Wordpower Dictionary, Oxford UP 1993.)







sleet celebrating
the global warming -
1st of May



Here is definition for snow
from Webster's Third New International Dictionary, page 2158:



I prefer that one from small Oxford more poetical one ?-)

freezing cold --
though the global war
getting warmer and warmer


Here I'm tasting the words 'war' - 'warm'...

a farmer
snuggled down -
all the bugs
deeply silent


This one is because I had to write something around the word 'snuggle'.

Anyway, just a few war-news, Afghanistan, Bangkok, Ukraina.

And in Finland somewhat just cold.

And due to Chinese money world economic is going forward.

Yesterday our sun was up from 9:25 to 15:17.
Today 9:25 - 15:18. Wau!

sunny Autumn morning -
a thermometer's
chilly night



Draft version for that was as:


Silently the Autumn
watching the thermometer -
approaching winter

false autumn -
migrating birds
flying northwards




Last week's Northeasterly cold winds ceased. Someone perhaps called that wind as Murmansk-wind ?-)
Today it is quite warm, westerly winds, and sunny.

a blast

A peacemaker

I got a pacemaker a year ago,and I was warned f.e. airport's security check-gates. I have a warning card for those.

When visited Hong Kong and Shanghai I walked through the security checkpoints, At Helsinki the officer said "no problem, it does not hurt your pacer, just walk through..." I did and I felt simply nothing. The gate did not alert, either.

Then when leaving Hong Kong the officer was afraid: "You got a pacer?!" Yes, I said. Looked at the poor officer, and remembered what I was told at Helsinki, and walked through the gate. Just silence. My pacer was calm and steady.

But when I used my pacer-card at Sanghai airport the officer was alarmed. "Take gate nr 5!" I turned back and tried to see where is gate #5. Luckily a polite officer joined me and we went to the gate # 5. There was just two kind female security officers, they checked me with their sensitive fingers... Shortly I had to join my group. And when flying over the Siberian back to Finland I still had a nice memory. O Shanghai's security check! I'll return, some day!

This short text I wrote when left Turku when heading towards Lapland:
security check -
 my pacemaker echoing
   jump            
                jump 
        jump
