A youthful 58-year-old classical pianist, a decent sunday poet, Since 1980, I live in the Paris France suburbs where I teach.I have delved into abstract acrylic painting, played Bach on the 'cello, and have learned a lot about poetic rhythm and rhyme here on WDC. My favorite verse is still unrhymed free verse:

my blue eyes stare

past black and white keys

that I delicately massage

into the sounds of friendship
