The Son of the African Sun

Thank you very much for reading and commenting erich. It is very much appreciated your beautiful comment. I hope he will think so too. Iris

erich, if you wish to go back to the poem, you’ll find a nice surprise. Someone was inspired to do a piece on it. She did three versions to it, but I had to pick one. So if you go back, you could see and click to see the other ones. Iris It will do me and her an honor. Thank you once again.

Thank you Rick. I am very glad you liked. Coming from you is a special honor. I mean it. And thank you for the feature. I means a lot to me. Iris

Rick, pepper08 was inspired to do a piece for this poem. As a matter of fact, she did three versions. I know very well that you will be impressed by her work. All you have to do is click on the right at pepper08. She is marvelous. Iris

thank you very much. He hasn’t replied to see if he likes it.

I don’t know if it is too bold to ask, but a very special, talented artist was inspired to do a piece for the poem. Actually she did three versions. They are magnificent. If you go to the right where it says pepper08 and click on it, you will see the three versions and in larger proportions. I’ll appreciate it for she is marvelous. Once again, thank you.

Thank you very much. You are always there to give support valzart and that I appreciate very much. love and huggggs Iris

I’m sorry if I’m asking for you to go back to the poem, but pepper08 was inspired to do a piece for the poem. Thing is that she actually three pieces which I had to choose. The three were magnificent. If you go back just click on pepper08 that is at the right of the poem. You’ll be amazed of what she did.

I would love it. Now, I am going to bubblemail him because he hasn’t answered yet about how he feels with this poem and if he liked it or not. Probably hasn’t read it yet. He does have a beautiful soul. And I am so glad you have something in mind for this one. Thanks again. Waiting for his answer. Iris

It’s 11:30 p.m and I finanally figured out how to put your picture in. I’m writing everyone back to see if they go back and see your three versions of it. And thanks once again. This was fun and full of anticipation.

I am so happy that you liked it. Thanks for your lovely comment. He has come out of the closet though. And if you see who he is, then you’ll agree with me Shar. Love Iris

Shar, I would absolutely love for you to go back to the poem and click on the right to pepper08’s inspiration of the poem. She did not only do one piece, but three and I had to choose. It was a difficult one for the three were magnificent. She is very talented. So it would honor me that you go and see her work. Thanks once again for your darling soul. Iris

Well thank you Jono for liking it. And my intention was not to make you into a a puddle of tears, but to make you into a legend. Love you. Now, I’ll feel free to put you up there with my comment for this was my surprise to you. Iris

jono, have you seen what pepper has done with the poem? I think you will be shocked. She did not one piece, but three pieces of the poem and everyone a masterpiece. The bad part was that I had to choose. I finally chose the one with your face at the left and the warrior at the right for your face blends in with the pheonix, the raven is flying high, the lion and the cheetah are there and of course, the moon. You are a creature of the night. The last one I also loved because your face is in the background and to the front the painted warrior is looking at you, ready for battle. The first one, the lone warrior with all of the animals and the moon and his spear is very strong and powerful. This writing was heartfelt, but I didn’t know what the outcome of this would be. It was fun, full of decisions and full of anticipation. Iris

Thank you for commenting, stopping by and liking the poem. And thank you for putting me on your watch list. I also put you on mine. Iris

Glad you did. You are always in my heart and had to show it somehow. Iris

Thank you Trenchtownrock. Coming from you this comment makes me feel honored and has made my day, for you are a great writer yourself. Iris

Trenchtownrock, I know you are a heart and because I ask you a favor, could you go back to the poem? A talented artist, pepper08 was inspired by the poem and asked if she could do a collaboration. If you go to the right where I make my comment, you will see pepper08 there and if you click, you’ll get your surprise. Not only did she did a piece, she did three and they were all magnificent, masterpieces. Bad thing was that I had to choose. It was a tough choice.I know you will love to see them at their larger view. I would like to know then your opinion. Iris

Thank you Thomas, for liking it. And thanks for your wonderful comment. And yes, he is a special person. Iris

Once again, thanks for liking this. But I’m writing back. I would love for you to see the wonderful piece that pepper08 was inspired to do. Thing is that she not only did one piece, she did three and they were all magnificent. Bad thing was that I had to choose and it was difficult. But if you go back to the poem, you will see to the right her link or go straight to pepper08. I ask because she is very talented and I think you will like it. Iris

Thanks for your reading and for liking this poem that was made especially for him. Thank you for your lovely comment. Iris

Thank you Charlene. Thank you for your beautiful comment. I really appreciate it. And thank you for liking the poem. Hugggsss, Iris

Finally I was able to get to comment. Once again thank you for your feature. I am honored and very grateful.
Now, I don’t know if you are familiar with pepper08’s pieces of works, (she is Rhenastarrs sister), but she is magnificent. Now, she was inspired to do a piece with the poem and not only did she do a piece, she actually did three. And they are all stunning. I think you will really like them for she got Africa’s and the poem’s soul out there. I know you will like them if you take a look. Remember, she is pepper08 or I put her link at the right side of the poem in my comment section. Thank you once again for reading and for the feature. Iris

Thank you Marie, for your lovely words. They inspire me to keep writing. My muse is a little slower than yours, but as the turtle who is on the race finally gets there, so does mine. Wish I were able to come out very quickly with my writing as you do. But, there is no hurry for me. Every one is different. Once again, thank you. and yes, he deserves it. Iris

Thank you Sally for your wonderful comment. It means a lot to me. And yes, Jonathan has the heart of an Angel. Love Iris

Sally, I know you are familiar with Rhenastarr, but I don’t know if you are with her sister’s work, pepper08. She does masterpieces with photo and art. Well she was inspired with the poem and it would honor me and Pepper for you to look at what she created. She did not only do one piece, she did three. I had the difficult job to choose which one to put beside the poem. But the three are powerful and depicts the essence of what jono is. I put her link next to the poem or you could visit her at pepper08. Thank you once again, for I know you are very busy. Love Iris

Thank you Cass. And your words are priceless to me also. And a special wink to you also, if you know what I mean. Love you also, Iris

Cass, I don’t know if you are familiar with Rhenastar’s sister, pepper08’s work, but she does masterpieces. Well she was inspired by the poem and did a piece, well actually three pieces for the poem and I had the difficult choice to choose which one would go with the poem. But they are magnificent and I think it would honor her if you saw them. Iris

Thank you very much bluewhite for your wonderful comment. Thank you for stopping by and reading. It is very much appreciated. Iris

I’m writing back because pepper08 was inspired to do not one but three pieces for this poem and they were all magnificent!!!! Trouble was that I had to choose and it was a difficult choice. But if you want you could go to her website pepper08 or back to my poem and to the right you will see her link there which you could click to. Would do her an honor for you to do so. Iris

Thank you Shanina. I am glad you liked it. You should go back to see pepper’s work for this poem. She made three versions, but I had to pick one. But if you see them all, you’ll be amazed. Iris

Thank you very much. I am glad you were able to see the inspiration pepper had also. She is very talented and also has a beautiful soul. I guess that’s why everyone here on RB get’s hooked to it. It is like breathing fresh air. Iris

I’m glad you already know her and have seen her work. And I agree with you the three pieces are great, awesome and to think that I had to choose. lol Thanks for going coming back to reply and letting me know what you thought. She is really incredible. And I think everyone loves our beautiful Jonathan. love Iris

I’m glad you did, Shanina. It was a hard choice though, for the three were magnificent. I picked this one for it showed his face part pheonix and the moon was there. He has mentioned many times before that he is a creature of the night and that the moon is his mistress. Thanks Shanina

Thank you, Isa. I just started to get this idea in my head and then words and that’s how it starts. I have to get them out. So I asked him permision to use his poems and his life history which he added in a journal and he is a son of Africa. Then Pepper read it and asked if she could do something with this and he gave his permision and she did not one, but three variations of it. I was shocked. And yes, it shows the compionship there is here and the willingness to help. And I’m proud of you too. I haven’t forgotten. Just need to catch up with my reading, for with the poem and posting the picture, it took practically all day. Any way. love you cousin, very very much. mwah

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for your loving,beautiful and thoughtful words. I’m glad you were able to see that in here. Friends here are so marvelous. They give and give and offer and help out others. I especially loved the way it turned out, that his mother appreciated poems now. He wrote a journal about it. He wrote that she didn’t care for them, and when he showed her his, she would read them and then discard them But with this one she read and reread and then asked ,”she knows you are not Zulu, right? I guess she started to appreciate the metaphors and how they applied to her son. Once again thank you for stopping by and commenting. I really appreciate it. Iris

So I guess you really got most of the meaning of the words, as to why I say the gods wanted to take him away, because he was too sick, too frail and the adversities he’s had to endure and he was born in Africa. Thank you for replying. Iris

Thank you Chirstie for your lovely comment. I’m so happy you liked it. I’m trying to catch up with my reading and I have seen some of your work which is amazing. There is a special one I started to read, but wanted to really savor it. I’ll be there soon. Thanks once again, Iris

Thank you very much Jonathan for the feature and of course for your lovely words. I am very happy for this. Iris

Thank you very much Becca and thanks also to Jonathan. I am very grateful and honored to be featured by two very talented writers. Loves and hugs, Iris

Your welcome. And thanks, for coming this from you, it is a real compliment. I tried to get the essence of him here. Now, what Pepper did was amazing. And not only did she do one image, she came out with three and then I had to choose. Boy, was that tough. But he really liked them. And Rhrenestarr took the image she fell in love with and made a poem that had me awestruck. But as always, she does wonders with her words. Oh, he put out a journal about this poem, which I mention because it is funny. His mother didn’t care at all for poetry, not even his. And she reads a lot, but not poetry. So he showed this one to her, and if you want to find out what happened when she read it and the question she asked, please read it. It will put a smile on your face.  Oh, how I love you all.  Iris

thank you once again. He is really a great warrior. Iris
