The Scribbles of a Lonely Traveller

[Danik 2016]

Not at all angliholic. In art as in life the period of realism follows that of romanticism. I think it takes maturity to deal with aging and decay. It is another kind of love.
I hope I wasn´t too realistic. I forget that people from the orient sometimes take the things very serious.

Couldn't agree with you more, Danik. I've been a daydreamer all my life but sometimes, I'm very realistic though most of the time romantic.

I think it takes maturity to deal with aging and decay. It is another kind of love.

Well put. Impressed.

It's a myth that people from the orient take things very seriously. Tastes differ as people are different.

I wasn't aware that
you paid a visit
on this sweltering hot afternoon
while I was taking a nap.
Only after
I opened the door,
stepped outside,
and found
the street was still wet,
was I flabbergasted at your graciousness.
You've been gracing my humble place,
bringing more hope and happiness
to me than my mistress.
Thank you for the painstaking efforts
you've made for me.
Without you,
I don't know how to survive
this inferno-like summer.

Continue to enjoy the charm found in your atmospheric poetry.

Thanks, Buh4Bee, for the nice feedback which I just read and which surely made my day. Because of your praise, I'm willing to pick up my rusty poetic pen and scribble something again.

Should we have a toast
for the end of the scorching hot days
or should we sit weeping quietly
and ceaselessly
at the edge of a maple forest,
for all the young green leaves
are turning yellow?
Would you please, my friends,
be so kind enough as not to ask me?
for I don't know the answer, either.
The only thing I know is
that I've given up flying freely
in the Peter Pan's sky
for a long long time,
having long lost the privilege
to daydream from time to time.

Nostalgic verses, angliholic. Glad to read your poem in the last days of winter chill, at the brink of spring.

I wonder how much I still fly "in the Peter Pan's sky".

thanks, danik, for the kind feedback. And i guess you must dwell in australia now--weather and everything opposite to us.

Not as far as that. I live in Brazil,in the southern part of the hemisphere.

Thanks, Danik, for the reply and in fact, I never thought you're from Brazil, which is a real exotic country to me. I'm from Formosa, Taiwan.

I know Forrmosa only from one or two films I saw about it.

Formosa is a heavenly island which I take great pride in and love more and more. By the way, isn't your mother tongue Spanish? How come your English is so terrific?
The following is a link about Taiwan.

Seeing
how graceful and flexible the weeping willow is
when swaying with the wind,
I start melting
and feeling tired of being obstinate
as a rock all my life.

I enjoyed this poem about flexibility!

Thanks for the link, angliholic. My mother tongue is German, but in Brazil we speak Portuguese, though we are surrounded by Spanish speaking neighbours.
Here is a general link about Brazil:

As for my English, I still have a lot of dificulties, specially with written English.
Litneting has helped me to become more fluent.

Thanks, Danik, for the crystal clear explanation and the link. English is still a foreign language in this part and it's really hard to have a good command. That's why I write poems in English simply to use it more.
