Thank you so much for your attentive response upon my poem. Thank you for your precious visit and kindest coments.
Correction in my response: It must be comments. Please, read below, the last word. Thank you.
passion is for passie(pronounce as pussee) ...........reminds me of the word, which can be used in relationship to passion (as a woman's body part) , , OR used to refer to a house cat, and even more. please can be spoken in a pleading/begging way, but isn't usually in my experience. bri ;)
Thank you for your kind comments. I have only mentioned the word and the meaning of the Dutch word Passion, nothing else. Please, don't go astray with your thoughts. Keep it within poetry.. Thank you!
Writing is a passion and as such we write to our own rhythm unmindful of what others would think. Keep writing Sylvia. I love how you create your craft always from the heart.10 Nudershada
Thank you so much for your lovely support, Nudershada. You put the words in the correct order, since you are a poetess too who loves to create, you feel exactly what was going on in me.Thank you for th 10.
You are more a brand than of a poet. Whatever you write is a comfort, a thrill to read. YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON OF HUMANE APPROACH. yOU HAVE SO WELL EXPRESSED YOUR VIEW POINT. lOVED TO READ AND ENJOY IT. PLEASE KEEP WRITING YOUR PLEASURE OR ANGER, WHATEVER.
I get the giggles, Subhas! You make me feel like a product, but I am the one who is producing/ creating poems. That is my response on your first comment and for the rest I can only say myriad thanks. Bet that I will keep writing, poet! Thank you for your ardent comment. That really means a very lot to me!
Though there is a slight differences between the Dutch and the English, you have excellent command over both the languages! After all, creativity matters! You may put it in both the ways! However, a brief note in English will always increase the visibility of your work (i have already mentioned it in one of your poems) ! Liked the photo too!
Thank you, thank you so much, dear Poet. Yes, I know, you have mentioned that and I was very glad to read that. Today I just transposed the Quote on the Card which is in the Indonesian language into the English language. Thank you that you like the photograph too.
Yes, I will Rini. Thank you so much for your concern. You are absolutely right.
Dear Sylvia, during my long stay in Holland's, have visited art museums, keukenhaf..found people so nice.And Dutch as a language, ofcourse it is a difficult language but very very interesting.More interesting is the loving nature of Dutch people. Your poem reflects that.keep it up.10.
Ow, nice to hear that dear Debendra. Indeed, the Dutch people from my generation are very friendly and helpfull.That I cannot say from my grandmum's generation. I must admit that you have come to the Netherlands during the most suitable times. Thank you so much for your compliment, dear Debendra and also for your generous 10.
There are many common words in Dutch and English. Few words are there those are used for constant forcing and such activity provokes thought. Although you often write in English still you write in Dutch as Dutch Poetess. This is so sad if any Dutch poem is not commented. But we hope poets and readers of multi-lingual choice will definitely read Dutch poems. Your every art is smart. This poem is excellently penned....10
ONE: Your support means very much to me and I most appreciate that and I have deep respect for The Masterpoet of my choice but you ARE a true Masterpoet of PH poemsite, I reckon. Such a highest compliment like this lwords you added here: Your every art is smart.
TWO: Inherited from my late Paa, Sir. His every deed IS Art, oft I say My late Paa, then it must be: His every deed WAS Art. GBU, in Abundance constantly Sir, I am directing to The Masterpoet of PH. Most appreciated and respected, humbly Sylvia Frances Chan

I don´t want to offend the British people the English language is concise but not logic for instance " please" sounds almost begging but in reality, they are used as a constant forcing.. your analysing mind created a wonderful poem. tony
