January is the incunabula of the year I embrace hugely like my huggable teddy bear With my new life’s portmanteau inexorably handed over On that last starry night of a very cold and joyful December A new portmanteau of life’s flavors and condiments Portions of joys, pains and many life’s challenges Mysteriously packed all for me in hope to gird up To follow whatever roads with valor, love, faith and delight. I’m eagerly looking forward to what are all in store Perking up with wonder on a brand new portmanteau as I go aboard Wanting to share with you whatever great surprises that I may hold In loving wishes that New Year for you unfolds with moments of gold Jan. 26, 2015 1.15pm May I share with you a New Year's poem I wrote last night/early morning. Once again, my warm greetings of belated happy New Year 2015!

Wow, a word that one doesn't hear very often, and here you have opened it up to all its poetic glory. Great write. In answer to your question, I am not Thai, but my wife is. We will be returning to Phayao in May to see the family. Have a look at my poem "The Girl who ate the National Park", I think you might enjoy at least the first stanza.

My portmanteau is all packed and I'm ready to go. You have taken a unique look at life and the human spirit and have woven a beautifully graceful poem that has a lesson built into the superb imagery. Emile. #7
