Dear everybody

IF-'paisley',couldn´t fit better! If you will scroll down a bit, you´ll

see that all my swallows got one on their back:)! So,as you can see,

soon will come a new children´s book in town: ''Stories for smart

kids'' (however,it is just for romanian kids,he,he) with lyrics by

Karina Muresanu Vlad,who kindly invited the ''Artist''

here named to illustrate it:))

Lume,lume! Cum ziceam si mai sus,la un moment dat (intr-una

din zilele acestei veri , speram noi) povestile cu rima si morala

ale Karinei, ilustrate de subsemnata, vor vedea lumina

tiparului. ''Lumina tiparului'' la propriu,pentru ca intamplator

sau nu (Karina stie ce si cum),editura se numeste atat de frumos :

''Lumen'':)).

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill desaster

IF Ripple - joined the project

''It´s hard to make ripples in oil soaked water.

But throw enough stones and you will

It´s not about the politics or the corporation.

It´s about the animals.It´s about feeling helpless

in the face of an overwhelming disaster(...)''

Garden cat -if

Summer´s t(r)ail with garden cat & leaves of grass

Så har vi havens katte :)) Daca tot veni vorba de pisici,vara si iarba,

si daca tot astept ''Centrifuga'' lui T.O.Bobe,

pun si eu o bucatica de rima pt. P.d.s.

(chiar daca-i duminica)

''(...) Si m-as face templu

Nu ma lasa iarba

M-as preface-n mine,

Cu genunchii goi

Si legandu-mi fruntea

ca la baba-oarba

M-as lua de mana

Si-as fugi-napoi (...)''

Prin anii ´90 aparusera intr-o brosurica,poeziile

unei adolescente: Iulia Dora Marinescu .Din ea am

recitat,din memorie( cat de exact am facut-o,nu stiu).

Ce s-a intamplat cu ea ? Cu Iulia?

A mai scris? Mai scrie?

(nica´ pe google,nici macar o alta ,cu acelasi nume )
