It was an honor. Your writings reveal a subtle person with a great sense of humor and mastership of metaphors and imagery. In this interview you add your integrity and principled side. Again, thank you very much!

I have two books by David McCullough I’m reading now so I’m glad to see he said that. I’ve been a musician for over fifty years and started when I was very young. If I couldn’t write (which for the most part I can’t anyway lol) I’d be hitting a drum or playing guitar.
You did a good interview here, Elke. Nice job.

Thank you very much for reading and commenting, Tim! Your musical career sounds very interesting, especially because my own experience in music is pretty poor, besides torturing the violin for some years. Watch out! Maybe you’re the next one i’ll torment with questions…

It’s interesting to get a glimpse of the authors behind their words. And, perhaps we find a few things in common that we didn’t predict prior, like their personal beliefs, even.
After all, we are not generic souls hashing out the same results. Diversity is strength, even when the tastes are not always agreeable.
Good job, Sappho!-

Thank you so much, dear Styx, i agree to you absolutely. It’s always enriching to get to know other people and their opinions and beliefs. Open mindedness and tolerance are values we can cultivate by experience.

Hoi hoi chère S., and chèr A.,
This is the 4th time I came back to the scene of the Rhyme, to be submerged in this ocean of beauty.
I’m no hero with alcohol, so I Raise my glass of chilled freshly squeezed orange juice.Cheers to the interviewer; cheers to the interviewee!
This one is a solid proof of what Roger McGough said:
Keep it simple
Let’s not take ourselves too seriously
And (this one I love the best):
All this talent is fine, but bring your empathyAlive and gigging – as far as I know he still performs – 88 years old.
This interview floored me with a deeply felt (or feld) human touch questioning. As well as simple but bulls eye answers.
Raise the flag and sound the trumpet.
I wave extra warmly to Sappho and to Atticus

Your pen has power, Naajir. You weld it like a trident of discourse. Because you see that discourse and use it against itself.
Always well spoken with a keen wisdom.-

This was one of those vibes that started one way but ended up
on a more inspirational tone. I like those moments.
Big thx for such a profound comment, StyxianMuch respect

We read this thinking of all the people now wanting to claim innocence, The supporters of Nero and Caligua who supported the emperor even after discovering their madness. The mad rulers campaign on their sickness and still found themselves in power. There is no depth to the madness, you lose yourself using the normal routes to navigate. Tight

Your poem reaches out to my soul, dear Drieks. The power that it holds is perfectly transformed into music. Excellent work!

There should be an audio upload right below the poem. If not, maybe the device you’re on doesn’t support it correctly 🤔

This is an excellent socially critic writing. Especially the perspective it is written from speaks louder than a thousand words. It reflects exactly what we are to the people in power: nothing but in significant bugs. Great work my friend!

You started this brilliant piece with an almost verbatim quote from the colostomy bag in chief and then proceeded to emphasize how he and those who follow his cult think and feel. Very powerful

The idea of angels vs devils is intriguing. Brings to home the truth, we are all a balance of light and dark. Just depends on which side we swing further into at any given time. Apathy is a thing I simply cannot condone. It’s a passive agreement to side with dark. Just boldly side and be honest, in my opinion. I know people like you describe up there. Aggravating

Thank you, Elke. It’s not often that I speak of my privacy and I couldn’t care less how some perceive me. I am what I am, hitched to a higher being.
