  Dragii mei prieteni si cititori, In aceasta seara magica de Craciun, vreau sa va transmit cele mai calde si sincere urari de bine. Fie ca steaua de pe cer sa va lumineze drumul cu speranta, iar caldura focului din vatra sa va aduca echilibru si liniste in suflet. Sa va fie casa plina de zambete, de dragoste si de bucuria reintalnirii cu cei dragi. Fie ca spiritul Craciunului sa va inspire sa impartasiti bunatate si sa va bucurati de darul pretios al momentelor petrecute impreuna. Va doresc un belsug de sanatate, fericire si un an mai bun decat cel pe care il lasam in urma. Craciun fericit! A voastra, Victoria West ********** My dear friends and readers,  As the first light

  POEM: The Alien... 111

  • Moda
  • 16-07-2024 17:27

  What on earth is happening on this planet?What on earth is happening? What on earth? On earth? What is happening on earth? I used to love this lush blue planet. It used to be my favorite vacation spot in the galaxy. And look at it now, recklessly overconsumed. All their treasures are gone. Oh, dear God, if I had the privilege to live on this precious planet, I wouldn’t take it for granted the way these silly earthlings do. They obnoxiously think they will have it forever, what a delusion. I would give up an arm and a leg to be its citizen, Too bad they don’t acknowledge aliens. And apparently, they don’t know the difference between male and female anymore

  POEM: The Café in Paris... 79

  • Moda
  • 03-07-2024 12:42

  There was this time in Paris on Champs-Elysées,You and I were sipping coffee at a corner café, It was a bright morning, We had an astonishing view of the Arc de Triomphe. You looked into my eyes and said, I love you, And I looked into your eyes and said, I love you too. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my book of poetry Despair and Hope (2024), page 100.

  Despair and Hope... 101

  • 02-07-2024 03:14

  I thought there couldn’t be anything worse than a global pandemic,Yet we find ourselves on the edge of destruction again. We live in a hopeless world, But I still choose to nurture hope. We need hope. We must hold on to hope. Hope is all we’ve got. I trust humanity will overcome the despair. I trust we will see better days. I trust we will see hope. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my poetry collection Despair and Hope (2024), page 81.

  Time... 74

  • Moda
  • 24-06-2024 15:36

  What is time but our planet’s movement around its star,And the star’s movement in its galaxy? We fantasize about time travel, But the truth is We’re too small in the face of the Universe to change its laws. Our only chance is to move forward, Because the Universe moves forward. Time is this social construct that we invented for ourselves to make sense of it better, But in reality It will be here with or without us, For as long as the Universe exists. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my new book of poetry Despair and Hope (2004), page 93.

  The Solstice... 145

  • Moda
  • 21-06-2024 13:21

  They say summer starts today.Today is the longest day. I sit on my porch and soak in the sun, Up until the very last moment of it, Till the last bit of sunshine. The last sunrays of the day gently kiss my skin. It’s always a glorious day, The longest day. There is only one sour note about the longest day of the year – All the other days are inevitably shorter. But the sweet note is that there are still many sunny days ahead, And I will embrace them all. The days after the solstice may go shorter, But the summer goes ripe once its longest day is over. ~~~~~~~~~

  POEM: Inspiration... 187

  • Moda
  • 14-04-2024 01:20

  She’s a lovely but moody lady.She doesn’t come to me when I call her, Or when it’s a good time for me to write. She only comes to me when she pleases. My book depends on her, literally. There wouldn’t be a book if it weren’t for her. So, I learned to listen to her when she wants to speak up. I learned to make her creating mood work for me. I treat her with coffee and cookies when she makes an appearance. We sit together at the table when she visits, And we start writing. I absorb every word she says, And I let her lead the way. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my book of poetry Sunset in Toronto, page 122.

  The emperor decides to update his wardrobe.He hires two tailors for the job. Apparently, they are the best tailors in the kingdom. Everybody raves about them. The tailors arrive at the palace. Work starts with no delay. But there is a catch. Only the worthy can wear the magnificent robes created by the skillful tailors. If you are unworthy, it will not fit. Work in progress. The council comes to see how it goes. But every time a courtier checks on the tailors, They squirm uncomfortably in the shop. What is going on here? Am I seeing things? Do my eyes deceiv

  POEM: Poetry... 168

  • Moda
  • 03-04-2024 18:22

  I sit at my desk,An open notebook in front of me. My fingers tremble with anticipation. The blank page stares back at me, A canvas yearning for the brushstrokes of my words. I close my eyes, Seeking solace in the depths of my thoughts, Where emotions intertwine and memories whisper. And then, like an ethereal muse, inspiration begins to bloom. Words dance in my mind, waiting to be brought together on the white page. I grasp my pen, And I let the ink flow freely, Like a river finding its course. Sentences form, weaving a tapestry of emotions and experiences. Each word, carefully selected, holds the weight of my feelings, my longing, my pain. It is in this sacred space that I find solace, Where my heart spills onto the page and transforms into poetry.

  Happy Easter!... 211

  • 31-03-2024 18:30

  Today is a beautiful spring day. It's sunny and bright. A gorgeous blue sky with playful clouds. It's a mild tempretaure today, 7 degrees Celsius. And it's Easter Sunday. Easter is a time of the year when Mother Nature fully awakens from her winter slumber. Nature doesn't wake up from her deep sleep instantly, but rather she takes time in stages to come back to life. To me, the very first sign of spring is March 1st, the first calendaristic day of spring. The winter months are over, and March is the month that officially marks the beginning of spring. Then the daylight saving hour comes along during the second weekend of March -- in North America at least. We move the clocks one hour ahead to make a better use of the daylight. Now we SEEM to have longer days, the afternoons are
