Born poor. Had wonderful teachers who helped me climb out of the hole. Lived in East End London 5 yrs, then Wales (motherland of Mother) where we were even poorer. Obtained a SRN certificate; escaped to N.A. joined MRT dramatic art school in Montreal, obtained certificate after 2 year training in order to read my poems and those of others in a professional way. Lived in Quebec, married with 3 children- moved to New York then to Paris and have lived there ever since. A nobody who believes she's a somebody meant to pass on her messages. Boasting was once a Greek attribute, so maybe I've got some Greek blood, along with others, as I believe the genes hve their proper memory. Panmelys 2015 This name only to be used on all artistic work: please, thank you. PANMELYS
warm winter overtones
of a sunset's glow
poet paints deep emotions
of an epoch's passing
...
Vanity is an integrated part
Of every artist:
Even their modesties are suspect,
To be understood
...
For you small child of delight
with your wild wayward cries
this world I would remake
...
Time has stood still in this village
where young voices no longer giggle.
Dogs bark, birds chirp, streams still trickle
...
this is not that hour that was,
nor ever shall be, what once
ran wildly -
with the wind's frenzy
...
