Costa Rican Sun and Poetry
I am here in Costa Rica again. The words of the Nicaraguan poet, Ruben Dario comes to mind:
Now is come the month of roses!
To the woods my verse has flown
Gathering fragrance and honey
From the blossoms newly blown.
I am grateful for the opportunity and hope to write some good poetry here. What do you do for inspiration?
