Gina Marinello-Sweeney
“Are many court jesters also bards?” Linetta questioned.

“Any true jaemythe is,” Cornelius said, as if to
suggest that the best of each must be his kind. He bowed low, his large eyes meeting hers. “‘We are masters of mirth and ancient song,’ so sayeth an age-old verse. For, there are always riddles to be had in the mind and heart of a jaemythe.”
Gina Marinello-Sweeney, Prince of Chandeliers

Ana Claudia Antunes
“Pay to go inside Neruda's home
A body lies there with no dome.
But right there in the front hall
Lean a fairy against the icy wall.
Oh Endless enigmas had the bard!

Nice and large and calm backyard
Ends In the middle of a rare room
Rare portrait of revelishing gloom.
Up climbing at the weird snail stair
Does make you grasp for some air.
And there's a room with bric-a-brac:

Old and precious books all in a pack.
Dare saying what I liked most of all?
Enjoyed seeing visitors having a ball!”
Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic
