giving LIP to English, August

those of you reading this now are a beautiful part of my poetry and a beautiful part of my world. your presence, your comments, your reflections, are woven into my continued writing. if i have not let you know recently, it is only because i am taken away by other participations. currently i rarely have opportunity to visit other sites but i think of you and wish blessings on the work you do that i love so much. from time to time i think of you and call you by name (albeit your virtual name). i have just accepted the opportunity to edit two books during the next three months, and those by an author i love, and to have time to continue my own writing i will not be able to visit others. please know i love your expressions and wish you every blessing. thank you for letting me know from time to time that you are here.

today i am adding to nasra's tribute to english, august here at LIP.

english, august is a force in the world of poetry blogs, a leader displaying delicate creativity and tender depth. his audience is dedicated to his work.

i took great pride in the day early in my blog-writing that i discovered that a: had given his site a link to my own at feminine expressions. (after a few months i still consider myself new in the blog-writing world, though i write two in toward consciousness and feminine expressions.) my connection with his site brought me a deep sense of honor.

his use of a comma between english, august has given me cause for study. is he an english fellow and august as well? (this, my favored explanation, as he truly does inspire awe and reverence.) is his last name english and his first name august? (as in smith, robert?) i have wondered if this be true, as he then refers to himself as a:.

there is always an edge of uncertainty in my interpretations of a:'s writing, causing me to go deeper, giving me various pathways of exploration (life is the same). his art is as rich as his craft.
english, august is more than a skilled artist but is also a significant support among the beautiful poets who read his words. he is faithful to attending their own beauty and leaving his footprints on their paths.

my congratulations to english, august for the accomplishments recognizing his efforts and for the wealth of spirit he creates in a virtual world.
