About one year ago, I shared my views on this whole thing of International Women Day , or International Day of Women, or Women International Day, whatever. I wrote them on this post called Woman Beings.
This year, I´d like to share this poem : The Other Princess . It´s based on Andersen´s story The Princess and the Pea. You can find the story here.

La Vie Champêtre

A frequent visitor, this woodpecker has no idea my cat is keeping an eye on him.

Like I said, that woodpecker had better choose the highest trees.

Meanwhile, Dracula the lizard goes out for a stroll.

As for us, humans, we´re busy  being people.

My poem To Poe With Love was published at Contemporary Literary Horizon , a multicultural publication from Romania. Thanks to Keiko Amano for introducing me to the journal and its editor-in-chief, Daniel Dragomirescu, and thanks to Daniel for publishing it. I really appreciated it! You can check the work of many talented and multicultural contributors to the journal here.
