Salut ! et moi je suis nΓ©e en France et allΓ© vivre aux US une bonne partie de ma vie ... l'inverse de vous ! mais finalement de retour dans ma non-patrie ... la rΓ©gion Parisienne .

j'aime beaucoup de poème ... de la vraie poésie, on pourrait dire ...

Γ  plus !

Ahh merci, AndrΓ©. I do try for real poetry, to varying degrees of success, but I thank you for your kind words on this one. Where did you live in the US? I love the reverse trajectories of our lives. A fun parallel.

I do agree with you on this β€œreal” poetry question…

I lived for a couple of years in NY … and then more than 20 years in LA !

then back in the Paris area quite a few yers ago … I’ve moved around a lot and for years, now I’m pretty much settled in …

how about you ?

Fascinating trajectory. I have moved around a bit as well. Born in New Orleans, bounced around the midwest, Colorado for a short stint studying Buddhism, and now France bound! Hoping to make that one last for a while.

In France we say …” Les voyages forment la jeunesse” Voyages shape the young” … so we’re good on that !

Buddhism is tops …

So I take it you’re not here yet ? let me know if I can help … cheers
