A bit like a male Mafalda!

Surprising work. I enjoyed the gypsy influence.

I must have seen Dracula
Steve Martin

It took me a while to warm up to Steve Martin's brand of humor... I remain lukewarm. I liked him in "The Big Year" which I've caught on the telly a few times, but have yet bothered to go to the theater to watch one of his films. I've enjoyed his banjo virtuoso the few times I've caught him on the telly.

SM-I´m not so fond of him either. Anyway he is from California

I've heard of "A Taste of Honey" but have never seen/read. She looks a bit like an older Jeanne D'Arc from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure".

Love him.
Alexandre Dumas... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Dumas
Me too, and Thank you... re: RF - Wonderful poem. re: DP - incredible wit and interesting use of the vernacular. Quite the woman about town. My pen's name is Parker and is of the feminine vein, though not named after Dorothy (rather the manufacturer)

Free verses! Very usual here but haven´t come often across them in English language poetry!

Beautiful: "For an instant it seemed/I heard in field and stream/Rumours of war, unclear,/Whence came that deep grief/Neither pink nor rosemary/Had retained the scent of tears."
André Malraux... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_Malraux
I totally disagree with this quote attributed to Malraux: "Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures."
