Danish

I came to live
at the white house
in early November
I have Laura's room
I knew Laura when she
was with Anaïs
I read a lot
love music
Geology
swim fence
enjoy walking
staying fit helps
my anxiety
Flavia has followed
me on BlueSky
I think I'll like
living on the estuary

And thank you too Lory. Keep safe. 😊💫😊
Thank you Lory, I really do care. I can't bear the thought of this appalling excuse for a human being doing what he thinks he can get away with! And, when it comes to Canada which is a mosaic of nations and not a melting pot it really incenses me to anger! Do keep in touch my friend. 💫☯️🍁🌻
Good evening Szuszanna my friend. I'm sorry my German is pretty limited; it used to be quite good at one time. I hope you've had a lovely day. X 💫☺️☕🌹
Iphigenia at Aulis

waiting for the waves
to decide my fate.
red hair hanging
long to the waist
why further time
on men's ambitions
let a large wave take
my arms out wide
with my red head hair
floating free too
their wild selfish wishes
waning in a sea swell
while I am loved at last
#poetry
Guten Morgen Szuszanna, und der Wald also. X 💫📚🌹☕
I may sound naïve Lory, but I just didn't think it would be possible for one western country to annexe another! I'm with you and all Canadians every step of the way! We all have to turn our backs on trump's America, it's a money tree! He's a dictator! My best thoughts to you and Canada! 💫🍁
Oh Lory, he's a nasty piece of work! I don't want ever to see Canada annexed! It's a wonderful huge country; surely no Canadian would let that happen! I was appalled when trump came to Britain, was treated so well! Most British people hate him; only farage likes him, he's a creep! 🍁
What Tales You Could Tell

after birth deposition
from mother river
mud merely high flood's
whim
first sunsets seen
after perpetual darkness
moon and tides arrival

you sit nonchalantly now
here in light and shade
green growth on your
back insects tickling
your history's solidity
#poetry
The First Time

I heard her play
movements
of her mouth gave
away how emotional
sensitive to music
her body was inclined
a viola is a resonent sensual animal
in driven hands
Anaïs seemed able
eager to exploit
the instrument's
abilities
I saw this
the first time
I watched her play

I've walked right up to the top of the Sagrada Familia Dane. Beautiful views. 💫
How I love Barcelona Dane! I think Dane is a beautiful name. I like to think it's your own and not just for BlueSky. 🇩🇰
A lovely photo, thank you for posting this my friend.

I deleted mine a year ago this month. I left behind a lot of dear friends but they're mostly coming back to me, finding me on here. Nice to connect with you! 💫📚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Thank you Lory. Why do I see some Canadians talking about keeping your Sovereignty? Your Sovereignty will always be Canadian trump can't take over Canada; you're a vast Sovereign nation; also a member of the Commonwealth aren't you? I love Canada! And I hate trump! X 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍁💫
Absolutely a scary place to be Lori! trump is evil! Good to connect with you my friend! 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍁💫🍀
Hi Lory, thank you for your follow. I'm British and am in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇨🇦 I remember your PM well when he was governor of the Bank of England; he was brilliant! So glad he's PM of Canada! I think a lot of countries will be turning their backs on a trump USA. 🇨🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🍁💫 📚🍀☕
Vance needs to shave that awful beard off, doesn't suit him; it adds to how devious this liar is!
