Agreed! Making real friends - from around the world!

I appreciate your readership and feedback - you are no slouch yourself in the poetry department! I read the mists on the river that remind me of you 😉

I dabble in all kinds of creative stuff including poetry, writing, knitting, sewing, painting, photography, and digital art. The only thing I'm not good at is music. I can read it and I can play my keyboard with a bit of practice as long as I have music to follow. I used to take guitar and violin lessons too.

Sounds like you are a well rounded artist! What fun 😃

I took up sumi-e painting just a couple of years ago. I had not painted since high school!

@ecoinstante sometimes pulls me into the less linguistic arts - without her I would probably never draw, sculpt or paint.

But doing these things can be very refreshing, and I find that it can even free me up to write and think better, like some sort of karmic unblocking!
