There's a cold blue sun on my ridge this morning. The pileated woodpeckers are busy with the dead locust tree out my window. I'd rather watch them than revise . . .Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074374606569366608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357199451052416763.post-49425129854569259652008-12-29T17:03:00.000-08:002008-12-29T17:03:00.000-08:00Vicki, I like the Ry Cooder Malabar, too, but Shen...Vicki, I like the Ry Cooder Malabar, too, but Shenandoah really does it for me. I have a poem sequence by that name. And Machu Picchu really turned Neruda on, didn't it. The Yucatan has many poetic names we ought to think about using to rev up our work. I'd love to go back. Merida, Opichen, Valladolid, etc., etc.Kathryn Stripling Byerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867152753841610044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357199451052416763.post-25324607893625074972008-12-29T16:47:00.000-08:002008-12-29T16:47:00.000-08:00Cartagena -- an enticing and musical name.

Place names can brim with romance, can't they?<BR/><BR/> Others that I find alluring are 'the coast of Malabar' as sung about by Ry Cooder and 'Venezuela' -- 'I met her in Venezuela' sang Harry Belafonte almost fifty years ago. And 'Shenandoah' (Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,/ Away, you mighty river . . ."<BR/><BR/>Khatmandu, Shalimar, Yucatan, Finisterre, Manchu Picchu,<BR/> . . .
