Sweden today

Sweden today
 
What happened to Sweden throwing off her neutrality like it was an old overcoat and to make matters worse joining old NATO, that is a moribund military organization.
I remember Ingrid Bergman, a great actress when I see her, I wonder, why Ricky had 
a nightclub in Casablanca 
There were many famous Swedes, such

Premium MemberI Met You In Stockholm

It started with a handshake,
then a hug, and then a smile;
We’d never even met before,
and still I felt it all the while.
I felt the silence breaking
and the wall start coming down,
and soon I’d trade my aching
for a renaissance fair crown.
 
We walked around til midnight
in an unfamiliar place,
The city streets in Sweden paled
each time I

Premium MemberThe Kingdom of Sweden: Parting Compliment

The House of Bernadotte.
Oh my, what have you got?
It's been more than a year,
Swede reporter made clear,
adultery in the land of Moose,
high up the ladder may vamoose.

Yet after all, he's just a commoner,
until he married, King Gustav's daughter,
the heir apparent to Sweden's throne,
wedded tryst to the roamer of Stockholm
poor Crown Princess Victoria speaks true
Princess Estelle,

a letter to Sweden

A letter to Sweden

Every year, I say, Come August, I will travel to Sweden
but when I go to buy a ticket, the price has gone up and
I decide to wait until next year.
Once, I met a girl in Stockholm who spoke a beautiful 
Swedish, it was clear the Swedish language is as
beautiful as the Italian

Oland

In Oland, where the wind meets the sea,
A love story once began for you and me.
We walked along the shore hand in hand,
Promised to love each other, never to disband.

Old fate had a different plan heretofore,
As you were called to heaven's door.
My heart shattered into a million pieces,
As I struggled to accept life's unpredictable creases.

The

Premium MemberSweden

Eden of my eye
Beauty in culture of ten million
Garden of my eye
Haven of brethren and sistren

Values never weakened,  in words spoken
Freedom strengthened, heritage golden

Sprinkled love in dynamite
Ceilings of heaven in stalactites
Grounds softened by stalagmites
Citizens' history, written in strobe light

Magnets of loving people
Ore of the grounds supple
Blanket of salvation
Tablet and core of the nation

Abisko Day

Abisko Day

It is the intensity of the light I notice.  Vivid autumn colours of yellow and gold bathe me in their warmth and brightness.
A deep sense of peace transcends. Can life really be this good.  I feel protected. Fears and worries subside, replaced by a joyful sense of being alive and well.
There is

I'Ll Be Waiting For You In Sweden

i will not blind you,
and I will not strike you with my brightness,
if you want to find me
you will always find me in the same place, on its axis
motionless,
endearing statue admiring the cute pigeons kissing,
i will not run after the sun,
i will not run after other stars, or
after the moon
for
i'm not made to walk from

The inventive Swedish town of Gayle
Every winter holiday without fail,
makes a forty-three foot goat
Out of straw and an oat
It’s totally true, not a wild tale.

Guns In Sweden

Guns in Sweden 
 
Sweden has problems with too many guns
shoots hole in the night.
Many refugees came to Sweden, who thought
when the refugees discovered a Nordic paradise
they would become Swedes overnight.
The inhabitance of this Eden has a discriminatory heart.
The glance of an eye tells the truth.
There was a clash of culture.
People of the same philosophy

Premium MemberPretending To Be On the Phone

we've all done it
or we used to do it
nowadays we can feign 
sending messages

in touch-and-go back streets
in dodgy areas at night
in the office to appear 
being busy

to avoid babbling 
with a colleague
to avoid a bothersome
old lady at the bus stop

bell didn't invent the 
gossipy horn
he jibber-jabbered 
with the mutt

which is another
prop you could
pretend to be
