poets say they have no readers
but after all
whether they write from themselves to themselves
what are they complaining about?

///

os poetas dizem que não têm leitores
mas afinal
se eles escrevem de si para si próprios
de que é que se queixam?

To be able to write, to paint pictures with your words, to create something beautiful is a gift in itself I think Armando. If others read and appreciate that is a bonus and I guess to a writer that gives some sort of justification to their work but I would be just so happy to be that creative.

Happy New Year to you and your lovely wife and your family. Please also know how much I appreciate your kind words of support.

Dear Carol, what you say is fair enough to keep me going forward. Anyway, I am writing for myself while possible, and time by time nice reactions like yours feed my ego! Thanks much!

In 2024 you will be currently welcomed into the select people's group I love to go along with pleasure.

Certo, escrever para nós e gostar do que escrevemos senão como poderíamos ser entendidos?
Ataraxia, saúde e amor são os meus votos para vocês.
