Australian poet and blogger friend Gabrielle Bryden has written a poem about my koi and remembers our mutual friend the late Paul Squires in whose poetry magic got caught using words. I feel very honored to have my koi swim in a poem, and when I tell the koi they will be splashing. Read it, experience it, here.

Thank you Aletha – it was a pleasure (I was having a bit of writers block and then remembered I had promised you a poem – and it just swam came out 😉 )
Words swimming out is very appropriate!
I love how this turned out, it looks fabulous, and I love your colourful, energetic style of painting. lovely, lovely, lovely.
As one could see from the post I published a week or so ago (http://whatsnormality.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/course-selection/)
it would appear as though I am not quite sure where I am heading with my future career. I have enjoyed following your art-rich blog for a while now, and I wondered if you had any advice on how I may go about choosing a path, or how I could go about expanding my portfolio; you seem like the right person to ask.
If you like, you can e-mail me, or post on my wordpress, thank you!
I have posted — and thank you for asking the question. I love to give advice! I’m a regular Dear Abby.
