I tried to post on your Duke poem but the weird glitch is making it impossible. since i am able to leave comments on THIS poem, here is my comment on Duke; Cool and informational. i just saw a movie called the Duke and it was for sure not related to this one.

"Waterman" documentary on my Duke! Yes, I saw "The Duke" movie, British film, true story of a want to be writer, who finds a Goya in his closet! Fun movie. Thank you, Andrea...I need to figure out where the block button is although I don't think it's the glitch?

He will always be a roll model for up and coming actors. His poise and grace as an actor outshined many. He was certainly a favorite actor of mine. I will miss him very much. His movies are unforgettable. Your epitaph is lovely Anaya. Blessings xxoo

Growing up watching his movies, I was overcome with tears, finding an affinity between myself, the characters he portrayed, and the powerful way in which he portrayed them. Thank you, Connie, dzai-djen!
