Women in Motion
April 19th, 2007
OOPS! A couple of corrections have been made to last poem if you get it on Google reader. Thank you to my loyal readers for helping me catch mistakes and making my writing better. A comment from the man himslef, Mr. Baca, via email: “thank you for kind words…and i like your poem very much…” Call me darling and slap the gloat out of my face tomorrow; today I bask (Texas, ya’ll, Texas.) Did you know Sandra Cisneros, Maria Palacios and Ed Sanders have been among the few famous visitors to this blog? Famous bloggers also include tisha, latimer, tonnet, mailart, Ronald, Jonathan, Marty, villager and you. (Marty, I am so not techy savvy but I promise I will do some more updating to my site and getting a feeder button.) It’s about the art form and the connection and I appreciate everyone’s feed back; thank you for reading.
Around town: My mentor will be presenting her original craft on the life of Frida at TBH this weekend.
Poetry News: The joy of being in the blogosphere have brought me these wonderful sites starting with Lederer’s “have tongue will travel” site, Kurt’s rules on writing poetry from gotpoetry.com, and the wonderful wordorigins.com. The website I gravitate the most still continues to be poets.org now with a find a place where you shout the poetry that quivers in your little soul: the poetry map. BTW, I have to thank MyBlogLog.com for the amount of exposure and connections to my site. The Blogosphere will observe a day of silence for the victims of the Virginia Tech incident, pass it on.
I’ll end with the following: “When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, even our virtues.” given by L. Rivera from Ry’s and Flaco’s version of “Girl’s from Texas.” Because the wrong man can drive a woman to insanity and the right one can bring her back in motion.

Thanks for the comment, Claudia. The audio thing is new for me. I’ve been doing it about a month now – and consider it the fun that follows the labor of writing. I am equally energized by both, in different ways, and I really think you should try it. You have a very nice blog.

I like the news update, Claudia. Kind of a WLTC feel to it. :o) I think you should consider a new category and keep it going.
PS: Oh, and I’m not famous, either. I only get visited by robots. ;o)
