WELCOME...
To those fellow bloggers who have wondered who is the poetess behind the lyrical words…well, here I am. Miss Delaleuverses herself. I’m not good at displaying pictures of myself since I tend to be overcritical…which of course are my own insecurities. Slowly but surely I’ll come out of my shell.
I wanted to share my Gratitude Wednesday this evening, I won’t be available tomorrow to display my gratefulness so here goes:
GRATITUDE WEDNESDAY, 11/8/06
1. today, doze off to sleep for 20 minutes during an MRI exam without an anxiety attack and the nurse made me laugh
2. the heat in my apartment feels like summer in California (ahhhhhhh)
3. Being in a writers’ group with the coolest poets and writers who are like an extended family
4. Blogger friends who still drop by to visit my poetic world and I am grateful
5. my digital camera is FINALLY working and I’m ready to snap what I see as beauty in this fast-paced life
6. my cousin (pictured in black shirt) is my favorite “cousine”, I love her like I love upside-down cake
7. dreams getting sweeter whenever I write poetry before going to sleep
8. chirping sounds of birds outside my bedroom windows waking me up on the weekends
9. the aroma of rice and beans with chicken coming from my landlord’s apartment…ummmmmmmmmm, there’s nothing like Haitian food
10. the sound of my fingers making love to the keyboards on my laptop, that’s how poetry is created:
THOUGHTS AND PAPER
The earthy smell of water taste like altitude sickness
Down the coast a French film crew sits and watches
While I putter hands on your flesh
Leaving reminders of our reality show
I prowl on neck, chest and lips
You are afraid of the mass media
prefer privacy with morning brunches
You drive through San Fernando Valley
with a hungry appetite for summer
I prefer to wait for you
in an evening marketplace of silk, art and souvenirs
I pause with the ink of my pen
Space turns into black paper
Thoughts are left unspoken

Lyrics, poetry and art all meshed together

your list is great but your pictures are even better! thank you for coming out of your shell for us! :-)
Great to finally see you. Looking good.
Scott
Quand j'ai offert mes services en tant que photographe c'etait serieux. Tu est ausie belle que charmante, mais je le savais dejas. Je m'imagine avec mon apareille, caressant ta peau illumine de feux d'artifice, afin de capter le moment de l'inspiration. Et toi, aveugle a ma presence et pourtant maitresse de toutes les couleurs de larc-en-ciel, Jouis en souriant, au moment ou tu donnes naisance a un nouveau chez-d'oeuvre.
Forgive the spelling. I love your list, I love your work, You do things... Please don't ever stop!
You should feel good to show yourself. You are lovely! Your smile is beautiful.
:)

I must say you're super-pretty.
By the way, would you mind trading blog links?
I loved the poem and the pictures! You look wonderful!
Why Miss Dela...
You are as Beautiful as your poetic inspirations... and this is a knowing "without" seeing your Beautiful face!
(the still busy)
Miss Libra Moon
It's great to finally have a face to go with the words (unecessary as it may be...the words have a life of their own and don't need a face).
I think your face looks Marvelous in person and on screen!
This is the third time I've tried to leave a comment saying I like the new look of your blog, your photos - beautiful - and your poetry, amazing as always. Hope you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving!
