  Absolutely love this poem and photo. Have you thought of pub­lish­ing a book or at least a cal­en­dar of your work? Would love to see you do that.….just wonderful.

  Dear Son­dra, thank you very much for your kind com­ments and encour­age­ment. I can say that for years, even decades (ever since I was a child) I have been imag­in­ing pub­lish­ing my writ­ings (and to a cer­tain degree I did when I worked as a free­lance jour­nal­ist). So far I have never seri­ously and con­se­quently pur­suit it though, I have been some­what stuck at the “one day, when…, I will get seri­ous about it”. But a com­ment like yours cer­tainly makes me stop and ask “What ‘when’ am I wait­ing for?”. And I never thought about a cal­en­dar, that’s cer­tainly an inter­est­ing idea. Thank you again and I hope you have pleas­ant time in the BYW class.

  Hi Thorsten,
  Another thought is print­ing the image on cards with the poetry inside (on the right side). I am check­ing in as often as pos­si­ble and plan to read the pre­vi­ous pages.….I am amazed at your work and am spread­ing the word. I could also see your work printed and made avail­able for mixed media artists/scrapbookers, in addi­tion to quil­ters — hav­ing a CD avail­able whereby they can print your work on fab­ric and use it in their quilts. Your work is so incred­i­ble, there are many places for it to be appre­ci­ated by oth­ers. Now you have got another com­pany!
  Best to you,
  Son­dra
  BTW, BYW is won­der­ful.….…

  Thank you Son­dra, your com­ment really made my day, or bet­ter night here. I have to say I feel rather invig­o­rated now, those are some really inter­est­ing ideas, thank you so much. It’s really nice to have some­one like you stop by and pro­vide some really valu­able input, much appre­ci­ated (and def­i­nitely much to think about now). One thing I have been con­sid­er­ing is a photo book with my poems accom­pa­nied by music I com­pose. I actu­ally released a CD three years back, some­thing I called a “Music­novel”, a sort of Sound­track that tells a story. It was pro­duced in very lim­ited quan­ti­ties so it’s out of print right now but I’d like to pick up on such a project again and com­bine it all into an inspi­ra­tional pack­age.
  I am glad you enjoy the class, there is a lot more good stuff to come and I am stand­ing by to pro­vide fur­ther tech­ni­cal assis­tance. I’ll prob­a­bly write a post on BYW towards the end of the class, focused on the tech­ni­cal aspects of blog­ging.
  Have good day/night and thank you again.

  A photo book.…what a cre­ative and unique idea…that would be a great gift item. It is dif­fi­cult to come up with some­thing that is dif­fer­ent these days, but that sure is. I hope that you per­sue that in the future — poetry, music, images…very unique and inter­est­ing com­bi­na­tion.
  Have a good evening, hello to Holly.
