Welcome, my dear friend! <blockquote>The ink of your brain makes a lifeless heart to pound and a setting sun to rise!</blockquote> Very poetic! Thank you! And keep writing poems, <i>kabsat</i>. You are among the greatest bilingual poets I know. I MEAN IT. (I always mean it when I praise. Because when I don't appreciate something, I just keep quiet.) I especially love your Ilokano poems.

I love what you said on your post, about "They give dreams their powerful wings, let hope soar, and allow peace to descend." I love how this means to me. This in itself is magical, when in the hustle and bustle of the city, intellectual oases are a necessity to remain in wonder, in awe, in our short existence. You take care, ha, always.

Here’s a short poem by EE Cummings which made a great impact on me, in direct relationship to the poem itself:

when god decided to invent

everything he took one

breath bigger than a circustent

and everything began

when man determined to destroy

himself he picked the was

of shall and finding only why

smashed it into because

it’s a great post and I’ll be back tomorrow

:)

I'm honored and humbled by your notice. I've checked out Void and An Island, and whew, they're now my favorites too. So prolific in emotion and imagery, and very no-nonsense metaphoric talent. Your blog is Art Herself. Don't stop, okay? You take care, okay, and God bless. Dear, thanks ha. I’m honored and humbled by your notice.

Thanks for sharing links to Cendrine's poems. Yes, I remember loving her French poems which you translated for me. There is an English poem by Cendrine that I love. Just can't remember it. Need to go and look for it. Hmmm... Ah, sometimes, this language barrier saddens me. You know, I'd also love to feature lots of Ilokano/Iluko poems. I have lots of Ilokano poems on my list. :-( <b>PS:</b> Thanks for translating for me. Tsup! Hehehe Hey BUDDY! Thanks for sharing links to Cendrine’s poems.
