Welcome to my over-stuffed port. Grab yer blanky if y'fear my bark. I'm breezy meadows; I'm freshly mown lawn. Most everything bites, so be fair warned. I write about Nightengales, yes 'tis true; yet, 'tis the Meadowlark, I fear is true! I write and I write and poetry spurts out. I love orange and green, Basho's hokku scenes, the plays of Ibsen, bittersweet chocolate, the tristesse of French movies and Tarjei Vesaas' novelettes. My present blog: "Porthole" , travel-blog: "On The Write Path" . Visit my old blogs at "L'aura del Campo"  (poetry) and "Enga mellom fjella"  (prose).
