For Fanny Obadia
An Acrostic Alexandrine
Fruits abound in her garden and on her body
Opposite an ocean and memories aroused
Rested for four decades, they again embody
Fanny smiling and laughing but with something housed
A time before social networks, AI and Wokes
Negating everything logical and sublime
Nothing was more important than love, except oaks
Yearning to be loved, no matter the secure rhyme
O Zeus! Part of me will always love your Daughter
But the other part still looks for reality
Always tainted, never perfect, like pure water
Draining whatever was able to remain free
Is the Sun going to explode soon, before noon
After Fanny willed to give her tongue to the Moon

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
