With great elation 
Yet the headlines in 
Norwegian newspapers were

The norwegian 'scream' Edvard Munch
liked oneliners with a punch
to his love Tula Larsen did send
'art is my greatest love' I can only be your friend

Norwegian Tanka

Norwegian Tanka 

This day had sunlight 
Light shone through small windows
My office was a stable
The beast of burdens´ air reminds me 
That my work is not yet done.

Loneliness

LONELINESS

Loneliness is like cold Norwegian ice, so pure it hurts in a numbness like fire.
But loneliness is better than silly little English girls messing one around.

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

Norwegian Elkhound

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.

A Starry Summer's Night

An
observed
perception
of time is seen
from a hotel room
window in front of a
stony beach and linden trees
on a calm, starry summer night,
where starlight reflects off the waters
of a secluded Norwegian fjord.

The Cruise Ship That Just Didn'T Quite Make It...

She was an Italian liner,
Whose path crossed
Unfavorably with a 
Norwegian ship
Out at sea....

She went down that day
All aboard were sad
I just hope that Joe's wife
Was not Andrea by name,
Cause it was the Andrea Doria
Whose fate played to her fame.

Norway

Norway is on my bucket list
blonde haired beauties I want to kiss
I must go to “Norwegian Wood”
everyone says I really should
but first I must land in Oslo
hope to watch the aurora glow
I will have to try some Rakfisk
that sounds much better than Lutefisk

Poseidon's Possum

The strangest things happen
in the Northern hemisphere
dancing dervishes
become the norm
in the mid Norwegian Sun,
mercator projected
A bird in flight
caught by the car lights,
travelling incognito.
Recess to be free,
there's a longing ;
in the upper atmosphere
see the lodestar disappear.

Cuddly Animals

Cuddly Animals

Little small cuddly animals all full 
of colourful coats and lots of fur. 
Every type is here from little mice 
to black Norwegian goth guinea pigs 
to chocolate drop pussy cats 
that love to be stroked. 
All animals are there to be loved 
with lots of care in nice warm homes.

I Don'T Know

I don’t know,
Whether I am French or American,
I just doubt,
I am a poet or a fisherman,
Cause, now I love you as ever.

I don’t know,
Whether I am Texan, or Norwegian,
I just doubt
Whether I am dead or alive,
Cause, now I love you as ever.

I don’t know,
whether I am a book, or a glass,
I just doubt,
I understood ma and pa,
Cause now I love you as ever.

Unknown Factors In Tai Chi

When I did the
hug-a-tree today,
I could feel my
breathing in my fingers
as the air
in my body moved my blood.

That Norwegian professor,
when I was 25,
told me that would happen.
One body, he told me,
like a fluid-filled bag,
like a decorative icing
squeezer.

Several times today
I could feel time stop
and I could feel the
gap between my fingers
tremble.

                         I`m not a skilled poet
                         I`m not good at writing in rhyme
                         If I write rhymes in Norwegian
                         It fit so perfectly
                         When I have to translate it to English
                         All the rhymes are gone

Once upon a time, Norway was a shipping nation
thousand of people employed in this endeavor
because she was a low-paid country and could
haul, mostly American cargo around the world
Alas, oil along her coast, was found, no longer
poo, wages rose that was no good

Other nations, running lower wages, took over
and the Norwegian shipping culture 
was history

Armies

Armies
A general so proud
Now he is burned to crisp
And we are told by a cowardly press to rejoice.
Revenge!
Don’t look at NATO only a naïve Norwegian can
Believe in this useless rust machine.
What we need is a new army
Helping the French to extract more oil from
Central Africa.
Who is the enemy or not depends?
On how effective the propaganda is, but 
As the rule is: Generals are all stupid.
