This haiku has been posted today on PureHaiku (www.purehaiku.wordpress.com)! I thank you heartily, Freya Pickard!!!

no more time for love

heavy inside my pocket, harsh

memory stones hurt.

My Bite Sized Blog Tour has started toaday on Dragonscale Clippings (www.dragonscaleclippings.wordpress.com) ! Here is a beautiful Cento Freya Pickard wrote about my poetry collection "Variations". Huge thanks, Freya, for hosting and supporting me so much!

Cento – Variations of Sky and Soul

my naked feelings

wounds turned into glass

as sharp swords

imprisoning one’s mind

the song of the leaves

tiny white petals cling to

my dreams, your touch feels so soft

enraptured fingers

pull back the curtains

as a reborn hope

Di vita vibra
la furia di fantasie -
l'onda s'infrange.

Night chill - vitreous
streams through stiff veins; my choked words
spill solitude drops.

Vuoto - singhiozzi
in una plumbea notte
di luna piena.


Pelle bruciata -
ferite rattoppano
il mio dolore.

Papier d'ivoire à
côté d'un stylo - entre
nous, correspondances.

Distese in fiore,
trilli trasvolan cieli
tessendo tele.
