INTERLUDE: WORLD LOVE POEMS

The last section of "Stars, Dreams, and Romance", I have wrote poems to the women of 11 regions and countries of the world. I did this to give them the honor and respect that they deserve. (Again, I say that I could not write to all the ladies in the countries of the world. But know that you have my respect and admiration as well.)This section of the book was also inspired by my favorite radio show, "The World" (On NPR and Pri.org) which I LOVE to listen to. I want to thank the loyal staff and reporters for putting together such a wonderful show. I have learned so much about the world by listening to it.

For example, here is PART OF the poem "Lady Of America"


Dearest American lady,
From a land that spans two oceans
And all the natural wonders within
Does not your heart compare to these?

“America the beautiful” is the saying
Was it also called this because of you?

You walk with magnificence in the glow of the sun
You glide on the beams of the silver moon
You have. . . .

O.K. how about PART OF another poem.


LADY OF ASIA

In the “Lands of the Rising Sun”
There exists a “Pearl of the Orient”
That gem is you, cherished lady

For when the sun rises in the sky
It has also risen in your heart
And that sunshine within you

Has “set” upon the world
Making it a brighter place

Your grace. . . .

And lastly, PART OF one more poem.

SPANISH LADY

My exquisite Spanish lady
With eyes as beautiful as the sunrise

And hair softer than a thousand feathers

Come to me, beloved maiden
So I may adore centuries of passion in motion

For you are . . . dazzling . . . splendid
Was God thinking of the stars
When he. . . .
