Plus there are a lot of things going on all the time as well. For a small village, it offers cultural activities beyond anything I have encountered anywhere else.

Your facility with languages is amazing, Audrey … as is your background and expertise in music and song. Your writing, I have always thought, is beautifully imbued with qualities that are uniquely yours, Audrey … wonderful, mesmeric words rendered in stunning cadences … and I daresay, your plethora of talents shine a very special creative light on your poetic pieces.<br /><br />Thank you for taking this on, Rosemary. I appreciate all the contributions the staff at Poets United make on behalf of our community of poets. Great job on this, Poets!

I share the intoxication with life the poet describes in the second poem. So uplifting to read in these gloomy times. I also feel how finite time is as we pass midlife and the road ahead is not as long as the one behind. Wonderful poems, Audrey! It is so lovely to read you. An awesome goal, to live in the light, as we age....and shine some of that around for others, as poets try to do. I am ASTOUNDED that you speak and read Russian and Japanese. Wow! I didnt know you spoke Russian first. Wonderful feature, Rosemary and Audrey!
