An August Presence: Apropos, #8

By Michelle de Villiers

An August Presence is Book 8 in the Apropos: Epic Poetry series. For many it was a pandemic month of bluster, bragging, braying, and boasting in the political arena, spiced with dire warnings about climate change. We isolated, adjusted our masks, and worried. Words of the Day to the rescue! Harvested at the crack of dawn from online dictionaries, they jumped to the task of taking our minds elsewhere.

Michelle de Villiers

I  scribble , dribble and doodle. I sculpt in clay for bronzing; paint anything under the sun; write children’s stories and illustrate them. I read a lot. When I’m not in the studio covered in paint; working on a new picture story; doodling cartoons, or reading; I reluctantly go to the gym. (In the basement, now!) Or travel to far-off places. (BC)  I once lived in a rainforest. Once upon a time I worked as an engineer on secret projects. And also underground in a gold mine. I have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Relatively speaking. I can wiggle my ears. I have two cats.
