Had my fill of Finnish fish pie food
it only put me in the mood
for a Swedish meatball
which really and truly
duly answered the call
followed by a Danish bacon pastry
all in all it was quite tasty
hoping I won't glow in the dark
in Iceland I had fermented shark
and creamy tangy skyr à la mode
it's yoghurt with ice cream in Norse code
but of Greenland's daily delicacy
homemade soup I must reveal
a staple of Inuit cuisine
the main ingredient is seal
and for a Norway repast
(as that bird has flown)
I'll leave it 'til the very last
but for cellulose as grub goes
what good
is Norwegian wood?
One of a kind specimine.
That kitty cat of mine.
Runt from a litter of three
A prince of royal decree
Norwegian Forest cat
Treading softly across the mat
A regal mane
A gentle frame
feline ancestor
of the norwegian forest
welcoming autumn
Dedicated to Mooney who is up in cat heaven ~
norwegian fur ball
intelligent and cunning
feline soul sister
AP: 1st place 2025
norwegian feline
with woolly insulation
winter devotee
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
Norwegian elkhounds, proud and bold,
With curly tails that wag like gold,
In forests deep, they roam and play,
Hunters of night, they stalk their prey,
In every heart, their love unfolds.

Utterly cold waters for two southerners from Oslo.
They take our breath away when swimming.
The land of the midnight sun and the gorgeous
Aurora lights are featured at Uttakleiv Beach.
Kept our eyes open too for unusual sights at
Lofoten Islands in northern Norway.
Eye of the Dragon was one showpiece - a most
Intriguing natural rock formation -
Visibly impressive, virtually unmatched.
Both my wife Nora and I, have our bucket lists.
Each of us have longed to visit our northernmost
Arctic Circle area and its famous fjords.
Colossal - the Trollfjordan near Lofoten which
Hails as the best holiday site ever in Norway.
April 12, 2023
if my voice could breath sweet melody
and loom across the ancient sea
shall crimson lips breath thy last goodbye
northern winds shall carry sweet reply
unto a gloomy grave thus thine fled
the Norwegian Theresa I vow to wed
and thou I be in dreadful loneliness
leap from the ocean tide in hopelessness
many the days thy face appears
hidden in a moist and misty veil
'tis my love that shall prevail
and thou thyself myself doth cheer
I watched the wounded night fade
twilight's sky turn to jade
a jeweled crown the day renown
for of my pilgrimage have settled down
thou my spirit wonders forth
from the Viking cities of the north
unto the seven seas of mythology
remaining true without apology
a sultan’s palace and the throne
what sorrow brings to sail alone
and turn my eyes unto the south
journeying to the Nile's mouth
for; lo what changes time can bring
and hear thine heavenly voice but sing
what incantation life may bring, yet, I care not
this beleaguerment 'twas what I sought
and caught the twilight while yet aflame
calling Theresa, Theresa my Norwegian dame
to norwegian blue
another more solid version
of me and you
another varicose vision
of wood and glue
If you have ever had the pleasure of being stalked by a Viking Forest Norwegian Cat
Then you understand what it feels like to be played with before you are eaten.
If you have not, then this poem may not be for you.
For it is the tale of the VFNC and what she is capable of.
She is a magical cat, the queen of cats, the ultimate fat cat if you will.
She stalks her prey, jumping on its back, breaking it, so she can enjoy the taste of the face.
Yes, she is a hunter, this powerful opponent.
She is fast, and she is mighty.
If you have ever been eaten by her
You will appreciate this.
If not, you cannot possibly understand it.
Oh, she is patting you down?
Great.
This is her first step.
The Norwegian club
We went there last night
it was set in a wine bar and the prize,15euro each,
I refused to pay that much.
The bar was almost empty but for a group
of Norwegians who sat whispering in a corner
And there was no one to welcome us.
I was donating some books to the club
left some of them on a table.
No one stirred.
I thought the scene was surreal.
We left and had a meal at a Portuguese
restaurant.
I suppose the books were thrown away
after closing time.
How blessed I am that you are in my life
Amazing grace whistles through the valleys one tune
You make my body sizzle with your kisses
Fireflies light up blazes in a night sky faraway
I enjoying my dreams and fantasies
Where the sunsets and kisses the moon goodnight
And everything will happen because of you
Within starlight flashing blossoms explode beautiful
No mountain's reach so high
On the peak of every promise colours rainbows
I love you for many reasons
Some beyond the human grasp of reality
I’ve never had such thoughts before
Holding hands walking away with sunlight
I listen to the sound of your heartbeat
Golden tasting chocolate melting echoes
A sweet and soulful symphony
Reaching the highest temple of an angel's choir
On a thrilling journey to a lovely place
Distant drum rolls howling chants in winds of time
