What others have to say...

„This is one of the most beautiful poems I‘ve ever read.“ - Ariella Kapelner

„Celebration is simply, incredibly beautiful. You have really achieved something very, very fine with this piece and I‘m in awe-I don‘t think I‘ve ever read anything like it, and it‘s truly a spiritual perspective. You painted truth with a feather‘s caress. Perhaps I‘ll ask any of my potential suitors to read Celebration-they‘ll get an idea of what I‘m contemplating.“ - Daveda Lamont

„This poem is a caress. It is childlike, but it is also the reverse of childlike. The child makes believe his toys are real so that he can lavish upon them his real tenderness. Arte creates a ‚make-believe‘ garden to express to us our real tenderness for each other as fellow creators, fellow children. It‘s also a love story. Its deeper implications are fully delineated elsewhere by a ‚multi-colored toadstool.‘“ - Dean Blehert

Celebration is a beautiful play of words, portraying nature that we have taken for granted. It is a love story of nature. Celebration reminds me that as humans we get caught up in our own lives and our problems, yet there is another world around us that we tend to ignore. Celebration is a reminder that „god is in his heaven, and all‘s right with the world.“ - Violet Delee (Age 78)

„Celebration evoked some aesthetic images in me that I haven‘t felt in a long time.“ - Lorretta Catarineau

„Enchantment, enchantment and more enchantment. - M.J. Ericson

„How wonderfully delectable and pleasing to the soul! I so pleasantly glided on an aesthetic wavelength while reading it.“ - Trissie Badger
