World Poetry Day? Here is my contribution, written with my heart blood:
“TAKE MORE TIME.”
Just sitting there.
With big brown eyes, you looked at me
to tell me – you are mine.
And I – pretend not seeing you
because
there was no time.
Because there was no time?
You loved the car. You want to come?
One step – you stopped, then ran,
you couldn’t resist to be with me
One nod was all – oh man!
When I lay down – you did that too
you were so close to me.
Oh little dog, where are you now –

Interesting - but at times, it's a bit tough to read. One remembers too many happenings when things 'happened' in real-time, and it is somehow difficult to get going, reading again. For me, I started 'thinking' too much and stopped reading. I am abou

“And I don't believe in such a thing as "happily ever after". There's only happily every now and then. I find the hardest trick is to recognize the now-and-thens, and to bask in them when they come. Happiness is a choice we make, like how to wear our hair, or having coffee with breakfast and tea at night.”
― The Passion of Dellie O'Barr

“We are intelligent and compassionate creatures and we can make choices. We can fortify our hearts in goodness and do the right things. Or we can turn our heads the other way and pretend again that bad things are not happening. That they will disappear because they have nothing to do with us, because we are not accountable. Well, this is also our choice. But in that case, I am afraid, this world will be lost for us.”

Ann Victoria Roberts is a writer who uses wonderful English. She pulls you along when reading her stories - you can't help 'inhaling' her books, can't put them down. What a brain this lady is, what a writer! And she started out writing a million dollar story while her husband was at sea, away from home. The rest is history. My favorite books by her? "Louisa Elliot" and "Liam's Story." - The captain of the "Titanic" is also breathtaking, especially if you have seen the movie. I love-love-love this author.
Looking at the incredible list of books available almost makes you dizzy with a desire to read them all! Time! Time is of the essence! When to read and when to write?
James Kostelniuk: We Don't Talk About That is a truly remarkable book that reads like the cinematic unravelling of a Steven Spielberg movie. I am reading it aloud to my wife, Marge, and we are now up to chapter 14. We brought Kleenex for our tears. I am obviously so deeply moved by this true story that at times the writing takes my breath away and I have to stop reading. Our hearts are overflowing each day with the author's courage and initiative as a child in war. The real child depicted in the story certainly was enterprising in her search for food and friendly contacts who might help her family, and as a result, she saved lives.
