Today sees the publication of ‘Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings’ by Gabriela Marie Milton – known too many of us online as Gabriela M at Short Prose – a writer, a poet and a good friend.
I got to know Gabriela, as so many of us do, through the exchange of comments on our posts of poetry and prose – our first exchanges the Spring of 2018, I recall, each finding our online way – a like, a word of encouragement, a follow – Gabriela does this for so many, and two years on, her posts liked and commented on by us in our hundreds – a poet we love to read, a woman we love to interact with – the charm, the talent of Gabriela so evident to all.
And for those who may not have read her, may not yet know what lies within her ‘Passions’ – here are links to two ‘love poems’ – no more from me – Gabriela says it all:
‘The miracle of you’ linked here – and ‘I am the one’ here.
agreed with every word ( and I got the book today 💃💃💃📚) ! yay!

Gabriela’s book I feel will be one I’ll keep re-reading . Thanks for asking about my book, Diana – ‘Shorts-a take on poetry’ – will be published on the 12th May and the e-book can be pre-ordered on Amazon at about one dollar/one pound/one euro. If you’d like to see the publication blurb its linked to a post I made on the 13th April. All the best. Eric

Eric, thank you so much for sharing. Thank you for your beautiful words. I am beyond grateful for your support and encouragement. Every word you wrote humbles me. I will never forget your talent and your kindness. You touched my heart in ways you will never know.
I look forward to reading your book too.
Yours
Gabriela

Thank you, Gabriela – I’ve gone back to my roots, well lack of, felt the need to put my hat on, it’s the first photograph I used online and the one I most feel is me.

You were wearing that hat when I “met” you. That phonograph is very dear to me.

That hat is dear to me – I bought it in Corfu and it was quite expensive – in a relative sense that is – and now it’s priceless atop a head of memories…

I’m glad you liked this, Gabriela – as usual with me my conscious mind couldn’t quite figure out how best to write this for you then after a day or two I woke early and my sub-conscious put these words on screen – congratulations – may the ‘sales’ be with you! Take care. Eric.

I love your words Eric. They mean the world to me. The fact that you thought about a day or two has a special place in my heart.
May the “sales” be with you too. The “sales” and your muse.
May you be happy and creative.
Thank you again. Enjoy the lovely weather.
Yours
G.

Thank you, Gabriela – the sun is shinning and I’ve been mowing the lawn with a push along mower – trying to keep fit in these days of isolation – in truth my petrol mower is terminally broken! I’ll be in touch again this week.
