New Publication, KREATIV SA: Vlas tot Goud.Flax to Gold

Missing image
Update: I wish to gift each of you poets with a free copy, but as the postage fee is so very high -- about R130 per book -- I need find a sponsor first ... Please be patient! Thank you also for your submissions, making you part of the KREATIV team. Love to you all, Myra Lochner, September 22, 2009.

Author notes

What a wondrous journey with poets from all over South Africa and the rest of this world! Thank you so much, Poets, for being part of KREATIV SA and its projects.

This anthology is available and can be ordered from me at my e-mail address: myrataal@mweb.co.za.

The painting on the cover I did in Paint Shop Pro, using a photo of my beloved children, Gerjo and Louise, dancing in the Vineyards near Stellenbosch on their wedding day. Dankie, my kinnerkies, vir die toestemming om hierdie pragtige foto te mag gebruik!

      It is easy to be a foe ...

      very difficult to be a friend. Should it not be the other way round? Hallo, Friend.

        To me it seems like everything is here for the world to function as it was intended and yes Friend is the way it should be, nobody said friends cannot have disagreements but I do believe that we should truly once and for learn to live together in peace and harmony.

        Hallo my new found friend.
