I've never opened my thoughts to the public before, maybe it's time.
We'll see.
(Today, 11 june, 2006 I publicly call myself a liar for
what is the majority of my poetry portfolio,
except a small window into my life
which is quickly opened to let out a ray of hope,
or despair?)

Special Thanks to Scarlett for my lovely blue ribbon.

Comments are always welcome, and even encouraged!
Please stay a while and have a cup of tea with some chocolate chip cookies. There is champagne served after the bewitching hour, but it's strictly BYOB - lol.

Three special thanks before closing. First to Kåre Enga en Costa Rica

for the following poem:

Quartet for Strings

for Alfred

Let your bow ply long high notes
or stroke them smooth and mellow.
Caress my supple outstretched neck;
pluck the strings of my cello. [163.399a]

And second to Startiara

for her budding mastery in the Than-Bauk:

Booth is his name

Writing his game
set aflame words
reclaim meanings
Tame syllables

iva*mae

has come up with a new Than-Bauk; the original was lost, unfortunately.

The Man from Paree

The man from Paree
shouts with glee now.
I'm free, he says;
Gee, it feels good.

And here is a last minute addition which I recently found in another blog. Thank you Ski -ster

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Jala Ad-din Rumi
Persian Poet and Mystic, 1207-1273

May the turning of the page be as seamless as the progression of today into tomorrow. Tomorrow is just your future yesterday.

I look forward to the musings, pensees, sketches, mornings, mournings, expiation, and triumphs of the year to come as recorded in your artful words and verse...

I like to think of The Troubadour's Golden Digest as preserved and polished by a dutiful curator so that it can be admired by generations...

I love the verse...If we're constantly growing and evolving, can we ever be truly defined?

The artwork is beautiful and I'm looking forward to a year of reading, learning from you and enjoying your friendship.

Happy New Year, Alfred...and lots of (((HUGS)))

It's been a pleasure to share most of this journey with you and I look forward to many more entries in what I'm sure will be a very classy new blog. What an auspicious day to begin it too.

I remember the last day of my first blog was tinged with sadess and uncertainty but at least now they stay here with the comments for us to look back on.

Happy New Year to you too - may it be filled with pleasant surprises and much love.

I enjoyed the poem. It flows nicely and I like the various internal rhyming techniques. You had a bit of fun with that.

Good luck on your new journal too.

I love the festive tone of the verse, Alfred.

Here's hoping that your New Year's indulgences lead to more pleasant side-effects and that the 2009 brings you lots of peace, love and happiness.
