May Peace, Love and Hope
Like a rainbow in the sky
Dance a joyful dance
May your soul soar far and wide
As free as a bird

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 5,700 times in 2014. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.
Dear Fellow Bloggers!
This is my last post for this year. The time is right to take a little holiday. I’m not going anywhere, just need to stay away from the Internet for a while.
I enjoyed visiting your blogs and commenting as much as time allowed and I also wish to thank you for appreciating my posts.

December Haiku
Frost, snow, icicles
crystal chimes – cicadas sing

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Cheers 🙂 Irina

In the olden days
A girl fifteen, going on sixteen
Met a boy seventeen
On a summer night
Side by side they strolled
On the Adriatic coast
His bright blue eyes
As blue as the sea
She could not resist
When he did insist
“Let’s take a walk tonight.”
When the full Moon rose
She led them to a spot she chose
Where mermaids play and sleep
And sometimes weep
There under an ancient olive tree
They stood transfixed…
He pulled her gently closer
Felt her shiver
Like a flower in the breeze
“Have no fear, my dear
I’d never harm you,” said he
“Relax. Set your mind at ease.”
Then his eager lips
Gently touched her longing mouth…
Like that they stayed
In the sweetness of young love
For a long long while
And the Moon approved
With a smile
“Oh, wow! Will I have a baby now?
Thought she, a bit alarmed
“Little fool, stay cool, “ said the Moon
“No offspring has ever sprung
From a kiss as gentle as this.”

My Dad’s Youthful Memories
(This is an excerpt from “My Dad, Volunteer in WWI”, a memoir I intend to finish, hopefully, by the end of 2015.)
Bogdan Stojić, medical student at Graz University, was conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian Army at the end of June 1914.

After Bogdan’s defection from the Austro-Hungarian Army on 4th October, during the Battle of Drina, he was sent to serve in the military hospital in Niš, 180 km south of Belgrade. Continue reading
A wordo is a weirdo
As the word implies
A lexigeek, if you wish
Coining words is his obsession
Coinawordricity, he might say
In a word he’s a wordnerd
When his trick is clever
And he makes it stick
He’ll say he’s made it strick
I wish he’d end his
Babbledegook –babble
Bubble, no more trouble
Now my head’s a-buzz
With wordo’s nerdy words
My poor brain’s a-fuzz
Alas, the time is rife to take a rest
Bid adieu to wordplus nerds
Yearn I do for a wordless nest.

Blue tongue lizard
Lazing in the sun
Motionless for hours
Until the day is done
Teach me please
About your lizardry
To be more like you
Doing absonothing
All day through
Throo-lee-loo
Throo-phee-phoo
Lullabied phee-phoo
By the pan flute from Peru.
