I wish it was my voice. Unfortunately between covid & asthma I no longer have the pipes I once did. My daughter…she’s got the mother-lode in voice skills. But no, it’s not me or my daughter. Thank you for the moment & welcome to the Stars. Look forward to seeing where you take us

One can’t feel loss if they’ve never had anything to lose.
Terrific write. Poignant and personal.🙏💋🙏🙏

Great write willow.
This touches the soul and gives it a squeeze.
Wonderful writing chica:)

No always a good reason to write, perhaps, but you always write them good. Tribute poems are the “in spite of death”. It can never be final as long as we never let go.
This is a statue, done in delicate honor. You created another corner in heaven.
Well written, Willow.

Life is a battle. And there are those who battle for us. It is hard when we lose those people. Great ink friend.

Beautifully penned, Willow. Loved the arrangement. Starting with just vocal & piano, then introducing another instrument every verse throughout. First the bass line was nice, add some light drums, some strings, add in a build, then a harder drum beat, really enjoyed your choice of music. It pulled at my heartstrings my friend, the subtle changes added layers. Excellent work!! A lovely tribute. Appreciate you.

Makes us think of the month of Abib and the Exodus, why?

Thank you. When do we get to see your words on the screen? There’s not a lot of interaction happening here these days, but I’m happy to hear new voices and support talent and heart!

Get some words up and I will be there for them. I haven’t figured out the support system here yet. I started out trying to comment on everything I could but some never reply, many don’t reciprocate and eventually I gave up. I will never be part of the “it” crowd, but I am solidly in the corner of sincere crowd, if that fits your needs. There are a few who are incredibly supportive. I’m grateful for them, support in return and don’t stress the rest. At the moment this is the best option available. Hopefully it will remain that. 😊

All the Moons have their hold on me. This lovely poem held me for a spell and I was fearless yet tinged with a healing sorrow felt for the many dear folks that have flown.
I was born on a New Moon. It is always enlightening for me during its waxing.
Be well friend.

Amazing art and amazing poetry Adelphina. I love wildlife and your poem oozes it.

Thank you!!! I really appreciate it:). It took a minute but so worth the time.

Beautifully penned, Adel. A perfect one, two, punch. Amazing work my friend. Appreciate you.

​What a creative and powerful idea! Using the language of flowers to capture the essence of the Kenyan wildlife is so unique. I especially enjoyed the imagery of the elephants’ “large petal ears” providing shade and the lion with its “mane of flames.” You really capture their survival, beauty, and grace.

Hi Romaj.
I’ve been struggling for the write. I had the pic finished a while back but waited to let it simmer before I sat down to write.
I’m so happy you caught all the details. I love all the patterns and colors of wildlife.
Have a wonderful evening:)

A beautifully rendered poem, Adel. The language is exquisite and the picture awesome. 🙂

This is my fav pic that you’ve done. You know that I am extremely observant! I have to pick out every animal, every nuance and detail. So this one is super interesting for that reason.
Your write does not disappoint either. Your art is obviously your first passion as of late. Yet I know that the words are there to be built around the graphics. You do it all so well. Every time you come up with new material, I smile.
You’re awesome completely.

Nature’s creative hand always inspires awe. I can smear a bit of paint around on a canvas, but wouldn’t know where to begin with digital art. Clearly, you don’t have such a handicap and can dazzle us with images of the real thing. This fine poem reminds me of the deserts that burst forth in magnificent colors when blessed with rain. Life is tenacious in it’s will to exist.

Hey, yes of course, I don’t mind at all, in fact most of my family and friends call me Nev, I kind of like it really .. Oh’ n thanks for the additional background info .. I have a thing about Africa too having spent three rather long periods of time in relatively recent years volunteering at a West African psychiatric hospital which I have written extensively about .. Anyway, like I said before, ‘Bloomin bootiful’ .. Neville 😎🌹🥀👍
