JUST NAMES - Historical figures - June contest
Einstein and Pufendorf
Grotius and Baudelaire
those names and others
that make us laugh
but why
'tis they who changed
the clocks of human minds
rewound their inner thoughts
turned their routines into
something else
saw anew the mundane lot
gave us in many ways
a different plot

About Me
About me
My dad being born in1898, gave me the genes of a past era,
they tend to colour my way of writing, perchance!! :)
OAP but go long strenuous walks in nature, my muse,
her ever changing atmospheres contain many metaphors
and colourings that inspire me.
Not conventional, somewhat free by nature I think you
could say.
Not schooled in English beyond the normal General education in GB,
but have written all my life, specialising in long hand written dip pen
one's to my mother and close friends. Or just to myself.
Have written two books with my partner, Also many articles
in magazines such as Illustrated Science, SAS, Travel journals...
With photography-grandfather made silver plates for his camera.
Painting, paper sculpture, Fencing, tennis, walking, swimming...
dancing, travelling. Smiling...:)
Location: Oslo and Flatdal, Norway., NOR
