About me

Self potrait

I took this selfie in summer 2017

You can enlarge the picture by clicking it with the mouse cursor.

I am 71 years old retired male who lives in Lapland, Finland. I have one son and one grandchild. In my spare time I read, write, play the guitar and hike. I also like to watch movies.

I have published three books of poetry, Valkoinen vitsa (1989), Paljon on meneillään (1994) and Postrahavasta (2012). Unfortunately they have been written in Finnish but I try to translate some of them onto this blog later on. Now you must content yourself with what I got here,  a couple of poems. I have written also songs. You can listen to them on my Home Page at: http://www.yellingrosa.com/musiikki01.htm. The music is an international language. They are on the Musiikkia -category.

I have uploaded 3rd of February 2012 two of my poems here at https://yellingrosa.wordpress.com/poems The one of them is from my first book The White Lecture (Valkoinen vitsa). It is called If I Seek You (Jos etsin sinua). A Young Woman Made Herself Next to Me poem is not on either of my collections. It is my intention to upload some verse every now and then. Anyway, now it is easier for you to find my verses as they are on their own page, POEMS.

I have published two stories in English on my Home Site  at http://www.yellingrosa.com/stories01.html. It is my intention to published more stories there when time goes on.

Because I have used all my free space here, I will continue this  blog at: https://yerosacom.wordpress.com/

 I hope we will meet there again.

All the best.

    Hei! Sinä olet toinen suomalainen johon olen törmännyt täällä WordPressissa 🙂 Blogisi vaikuttaa mielenkiintoiselta joten aloin seuraamaan. En ole koskaan käynyt Lapissa..aion vielä joskus käydä siellä talviaikaan…silloin maisemat siellä ovat aivan uskomattoman kauniit ja se ajankohta on täydellinen minunlaiselleni talvi-ihmiselle 🙂

        Kävin katsomassa runokokoelmaasi. Tykkäsin kovasti ironiasta ja huumorista! Olen itsekin Lapista lähtöisin, joten tuo huumorin laji tuntuu kotoisalta.

        Joskus voisi olla kiva vaihtaa kokemuksia Wordressin käytöstä, bloggaamisesta tms. Olen jossain vaiheessa avaamassa uutta nettisivua, joka liittyy tulevaan työhöni. Kiinnostaisi tietää esimerkiksi, onko monimutkaista tehdä samoille sivuille sekä englannin että suomen kielistä versiota.

        En tiedä oletko Facebookissa, mutta minut sieltä löytää, jos jättää kaksiosaisen sukunimeni loppuosan pois.

      Thanks and the pleasure was all mine. I really enjoyed visiting your blog.
      It’s a funny incident because I thought earlier in the Sunday afternoon as well how we all are the same, citizens of this one globe, made of the same wood with the same tools by the carpenters alike. In some point of evolution we have started to become differentiated. I believe that the language has a conclusive part in this. It has been incapable of following the migration of people and nowadays the fast engineering in trades. It has not designed to describe the abstractions to a great extent. The language is the tool for concrete objects and when it is used to express ideas the misconception are unavoidable.

      Where this will conduct us is a good question. I don’t have an answer for it and I believe that every soul on earth is at a loss what to do at least in some degree. The experts in different lines have developed the specific jargons in order to get things done but this lends itself to the larger disintegration. The growing amount of micro communities dealing with themselves doesn’t bring us together. Of course, we manage with the words in the future somehow but we should see that they are not infallible. They can fool us if we are not reasonable.

      The modern poetry is one expedient to express the human inner entity. Sometimes it hits the target because it has managed to free the words from all the used objects: beliefs which are trying to build the bridges between the concrete things and abstractions. It goes without saying that poems can’t compensate the everyday language, but they can be the moments of a human consistency which we really need to understand that we all are the same.

      Thank you for giving me the courage to expose this. It was easier when I got the proof of our similarity from you.

        I love words, the way they look and sound, their many meanings and change of usage over the centuries. At their best they point us in the direction of something remarkable. I have chosen in the past couple of years to use colour as my language allowing words to appear sparingly. Looking without thinking requires practice but allowing a moment of space between looking and verbal communication can result in some very perceptive thoughts. Many thanks for your thought soothing and provoking blog posts.

I have listened to your music a bit, sang along with it. I particularly like: Yot etsivat yksin. I’d like to sing this. Do you have any sheet music? It would be good to have the lyrics at least and also an English translation. Ann

      You are very welcome. I have notated all my songs but the lyrics are in Finnish. It is my intention that I try to translate at least one of my song in English. Anyway, it is not so simply. The poems you can read here are more rewritten than translated but when it comes to lyric I should be faithful to the story and of course the syllables must match the melody.

      I have uploaded some sheet music to my home site at: http://yellingrosa.com/nuotit01.htm but not Yöt etsivät yksin lohdutusta (Nights all alone are looking for the comfort). If everything goes fine, it will be there sooner or later.

      PS. 25th of September 2013
      I have uploaded Yöt etsivät yksin lohdutusta to my Nuotteja page.

      I am afraid that the Sami culture is more or less ruined as all the other indigenous cultures by the invaders and later by the mass culture. It is a sad process where the majority rules the way of living and it keeps on going as long as people don’t understand that the differences are our similarities. There can’t be two identical souls without saying there could be two identical nations. The easiest option is to deny divergences but this means automatically that someone will cry in the end.

      There is much to remember in my language because of the cases (15). On the other hand there are much derived words. If you know the main verb you know all the words that are derived from it. Of course you must know the affixes.

      Thank you for the comment. I am almost American but I didn’t make myself at home in Florida where my parents moved in the early seventies. I live 185 miles from Suomussalmi to northwest. I am able to see Sweden when I am on my balcony; distance from my home to the border is one mile or so. Do you speak Finnish at all? In which state do you live?
      All the best of luck for you in 2014.

        My grandparents made their way to Palm Beach in the early 50’s by way of New Jersey and New Hampshire. I live in Alabama now, on the Gulf Coast.

        I speak very little Finnish. I grew up listening to it and understand some, but I was never formally taught. My dad always thought it would be more practical to learn Spanish as a second language since I live in an area where there are very few Finns. Happy new year to you as well.

      I can see Sweden from my balcony. It is about one mile to border or so, even though it doesn’t feel like crossing the border. Because Finland as well Sweden are EU countries, there is no border formalities for us. I had a nice evening walk there tonight. I live in Southern Lapland, 1021 kilometers from Stockholm to north.
      All the best for you all

      Thank you for being here. Your blog was a pleasure to me. Here, on my blog, I try to be as plain as possible, sometimes even childish without using any tricks. I feel that it is more convenient to visitors. Yelling Rosa is my author pseudonym name. It has a long history and I have used it from the sixties when I played on the rock band. I liked the name Rosa after being in Spain when I was a child, so I was called Rosa already as a boy. Because I sang high and with the loud voice on the band, other members of the band started to call me Yelling. So I got the first part of my name.
      All the best for you

      Thank you for your comment. I am happy that you found my verses enjoyable. I liked it at your place too. I couldn’t guess that you haven’t written longer. I am very reserved when I am asked to give guidance in writing. The world is full of people who are eager to give advice but sometimes that kind of guidance can be harmless. My own main thread is that honesty is the best policy but it is not easy way to speak. Sometimes you are not liked when you say things as they are but how it could be the other way round. The art is the way of describing the life. If the author gives up being honest, he/she turns into a designer. Sometimes it is imperative that the disadvantages are mentioned, because without them the advantages are not recognized. The other night I put it down in my note book that the confusion is the mother of the order. Of course this doesn’t mean that everything must turn upside down to get things right, but when we are aware of the opposite, we can respect the right act.

      I am sure that everyone will find the best way to write on their own. It is like whatever skill in this world that practice makes perfect. You know your capacities so just adjust them to your verses, and read much. Besides, it’s your freedom to decide how seriously you will take your poetry. Don’t try too hard. If the writing will be obligatory to you, the flame will fade away. “Colors of Poetry” is a good start.

      All the best for you

Even though I haven’t seen my grandmothers for over 40 years, I still call them back to my mind every now and then. They represented the good human values we have unfortunately forgotten to respect. They had the courage to stop when the speed was too fast instead of running away the troubles. I wish you and your love ones all the best of times.

    Thank you for visiting my blog, Yelling, thereby introducing me to yours. Like you, I love poetry also and at age 77, am blogging for the first time and also publishing my first book. My grandparents came from Tampere and because of that, Finland is very dear to my heart. Keep up the good work, it is a pleasure to visit your blog.

      Thank you for your return call. It is nice to have you here. A man is never too old for the first book.

      It is a large amount of people which have emigrated from Finland during the last two centuries. Wikipedia: Finnish Americans are Americans of Finnish descent, who currently number about 700,000, in USA and Canada.

      I wish you all the best wherever you are and whatever you do!

    Really interesting blog,Yelling Rosa. And thank you for visiting mine. I haven’t blogged for quite a while now – all my time was taken up writing a novel. But your visit, along with that of another respected blogger, has persuaded me to take it up again – perhaps on a more occasional basis. Very interesting to hear where you live. I live in South London, UK and am on holiday right now in central France. Best wishes to you.

It would have been very stressful to do two things at the same time: blog and writing, but when you are ready I like to read more blog articles from you. All the best for you and nice holiday.

    Thank you for visiting my blog. I’m not much of a poet, preferring to write novels; but you never know what you might find posted. That’s the reason it’s called ‘quirky’.

    I really liked what you wrote about yourself. I imagine it must be very nice to have published books of poetry! I work in physics and published a book on physics in Portuguese. I’m happy because the English version of the book was accepted for publication recently. I also have an only child and he makes poetry, plays guitar, translates poetry from English into Portuguese and is doing his PhD.

    It is interesting that your last name appears to be Portuguese. It is the same surname of my mother: Rosa. And Rosa, of course, it is the flower rose.

    Thank you for having enjoyed one of my blogs (Magical world of Tania ..). If you have time look at my blog where I put my own paintings: ARt_BRAZIL Tania. I love to paint!

    Congratulations on your blog!

      Thank you for your comment. I am glad to hear that there is or will be an English version of your book.

      Yelling Rosa is my author name. I adopted the last part of it when I was child. Our family spent a lot of time in Spain where I fell in love with that word. Later when I sang hard and high in the rock band, other musicians started to call me Yelling.

      I enjoyed being on your blog and will happily to see your paintings.

      Thanks for the encouragement.

    Thank you for liking my Thank You Tuesday post Yelling Rosa! I’ve read over your about page and definitely respect that you have an awards free blog. I always like to see artists who say that they don’t want any awards and are content with the continued loyalty of their readers. I wonder what’s the psychology behind it though. I never quite understood it. I suppose since I’m not a published author I haven’t had any level of satisfaction when it comes to something concrete and finite that I can touch and feel and call an achievement I’ve obtained via my writing. Alas, I digress… if you would like to make it to my next Thank You Tuesday post then be sure to follow my blog and I’ll put a nice link back to yours on this upcoming Tuesday Post!

    Waaaaaw!!! Here is United Nations Of Poetry! Hello Mister Yelling! Some time ago, I remarked a few “likes” on my poetry blog, that coming from Finland. At first, I thought it was just a fluke, because I did not think, that there may be a connection between a poem written in Romanian and a reader from Finland (the differences between the family of Latin languages and the family of Finno-Ugric languages, are very big; not even Google Translate, can not compensate these differences)?! Then I thought that “likes”, are for graphics?! Today I had the curiosity to see where and why, coming these “likes”. Now I found out that these “likes”, coming from one “Institution Of Poetry”. You are a real “Institution Of Poetry”, Mister Yelling! Your appreciation (whatever are their motivation), ennobles my poetry blog and for that, I thank you Mister Yelling! Warm greetings from Romania!

    Post scriptum: I read your post “Paola legit linguam latinam”, its’ a great idea, I like Your sketch latin and english translation 🙂
    I think also that’s OK speak Latin with Italian to day’s accent, but it’s necessary to have an Italian mouth (accent).
    This is not easy for a foreigner.

      Hi Guido,
      Liking your blog was my pleasure.
      Paola is a digital human voice that uses Italian accent. Of course, it is not the same thing than a real human voice. Perhaps, I am going to find someone who reads my poems in Latin if I ever write them. Have you recited poems or do you know any Italian who has.
      Your English is perfectly well.
      Have a nice week which is just behind the corner.

        But my wife recites theatre, it’s her hobby, it’s not professional. I told her your wish, my wife replies to me ok.

I have studied a little the artificial language called Interlingua, because I can’t tell which one of the Roman language I should concentrate. Interlingua gives me a something from all of them. By the way, I have been very long time ago in Barcelona. At that time there where Camping Masnou where I was with my parents. It was a little way from the town town, north or east that I don’t remember. Yep, to the north I looked from the map.

    Thanks for stopping by Life in the Slow Lane and “liking” my post, Soothing Souls. A now deceased brother-in-law was born in Finland but moved with his family to Washington state as a young boy. He told many stories of life in Finland and continued to receive a short newsletter from his home town in Finland until he died. Love meeting new folks from around the world. Hope you’ll visit my blog again.

    Hi YRosa,

    “Nothing is better than null.” We are on the same track. I wrote: “Nothing matters” as in nothing really matters. Too bad I can’t read Finnish. Things in Mexico going well, if you don’t count the 400,000 dead and missing since 2006. We have a new president and the whole country is pretty much behind him. Okay, hope you are healthy, happy, wealthy, and wise and two out of four is not bad. Thanks. Duke

    Thank you for reading some of my poems and for giving those the thumbs up. I have read some of yours. The ones I read were short and also profound. I wanted to comment on them but there appears to be no commentary box.
    I see that you hail from Finland. I have a lovely Finnish friend and she is a great cook. My family love her Korvapuustis or ‘ear-bang’ 🤗.

    Hi YR: Thanks for visiting my site and for liking my posts. Those simple gestures of reaching out to a stranger thousands of miles away are very powerful. Your writing is very touching and I can see from all the comments, you have reached so many hearts and brought them comfort. The truth is, we find ourselves reflected in nature and you seem to do that very well with your words. And it’s comforting to know, albeit sad, that we all struggle from time to time. But the most amazing thing about you is that you take the time to reach out to your visitors, and that, to me, is inspiring. Thank-you, for making a difference. Monika R.

    I’d imagine translating poems must be very hard. So much can get lost in translation.

    Hello, thank you for reading Will and Alice Part two. I’m glad you liked it. My grandfather Anshelm Gustaf Lauren came from Turku, Finland. He was a shipwright, and arrived in Australia when he was 30. Sadly, he died when he was 98 – three years before I was born.

    Thank you for visiting my blog articulation.me
    Your “like” led me here and I have been rambling about and seeing what you are up to. I find you to be very talented and am impressed by what I have seen. Please visit me again. I think I am subscribing to you – although I confess I am a bit confused as to which one of these sites you are presently keeping up. Crossing my fingers I have chosen the right one.
    Peace for you in the New Year.
    Linda
