Poetinmi, 67

Poet Seeking Muse.... Creative & Intelligent Womenr Apply... I like coffe houses, poetry readings, live music (there is a band in D called the Sugarcoats, man I dig those cats...), fires in the night, moonbeams, fireflies, flowers wild and those not so, a good word, a found talisman, a bound ribbon, island coffee, mountian tea, wild strawberries, toothy smiles, Castillian lisps, subtle puns, my left hand, the vieux carre, gumbo, Jack and Allen, Woody and Bob, gypsy violins, the wolf (Chester Authur Burnett - my adopted and adapted grandpap), the feel of a guitar string, the wind when it howls, the rain, snow mornings, spice, Slyvia Plath ( I fell in love with her voice long long ago)...

I love listening to music, all kinds. One of the great joys is finding a new sound. I grew up with folk music and the blues. I love thier authenticity...latest joy is the fado group Madredeus...it is spiritual...and some folk music of East Turkestan.

I love reading, from cheap mysteries to real literature, biographies, history, science ( I am nuts for quantum physics), poetry, and philosophy. I have a goal to read at least one book by every winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, I am about 3/4 done. I am reading a book by the Hungarian author Kertesz and find him infintely intregueing. Last author before him was the Portugese author Jose Saramago, I can not get enough of this man's prose.

I am funny, gregarious, kind hearted, an animal lover, creative (I write poetry and paint). I have a dog and three cats. There are long stories behind each of them. I like a good laugh. I have been known to recite a few of my favorite poems around the fire (my all time fav is a mimic of Dylan Thomas reading a poem by WH Auden ... "the nightengales are sobiing in the orchards of our mothers, and hearts that we broke long ago have long been breaking others..." god, if only I could write that!
