In Fijian there is a word "bativou" for a person who prefers green fruit rather than fruit fully mature "vou" is new and by extension "bativou" a person attracted to those younger often said of men attracted to a younger woman Another word "Mata drokadroka" suggests a fresh gleaming face a baby-face or youthful countenance while "matadrokadroka" is also queasy sickly green faced "Drokadroka" the color green describes vegetation and sometimes fish but not water or the sea means green or uncured firewood following a tradition Fijians names of colors always associated with specific objects "Kara-karawa" blue things the sky, the sea, fish as in "sa karakarawa na draki" a relatively cloudless day with a blue sky formerly meant either blue or green inspired by the color of light bouncing from Fiji parrots depends on the viewing angle "Drokadroka" used for the abstract color of green mainly plants "karakarawa" a species of edible parrot fish blue and green as implied by the name Chlorurus sordidus ―Words from https://ecommons.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/28702/2/Fijian-English_Dictionary.pdf January Peace
Happy New Year may this "January" be spectacular for you and your family may the doors of your heart be open to opportunity and love while the doors of your community shut out conflict "Jānua“ means doors in Latin "Jānus“ is the Roman God of the doors and the beginning of the year he had a small temple in the Forum two doors stood opposite each other in time of war the doors stood open in time of peace or "pax" in Latin they stood shut Dictionary https://marciorenato.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/pokorny-julius-proto-indo-european-etymological-dictionary.pdf Happy Holidays. This year my goal is to discover and share with the world, the word for peace in 5,000 or more languages through blogs, poetry, books, and public events. I have gathered the word for peace in over 2000 languages, trying to contextualize the word and understand nuanced differences. I am looking for funding to continue this project which I have funded out of my own pocket for the past two years. This is a proposal that I become the poet-in-residence (remote as I live in Spokane, Washington) for your organization or one that you know. As the poet-in-residence, I would post daily blogs, pictures, and poetry to social media and run online seminars. Each post would include the word for peace, calm, harmony, or tranquility in one of the 7000 plus languages of the world with a link back to your organization. Some of my work can be found at https://www.nervewhisperer.solutions/peace-poetry/category/peace-poetry Let me know if you see any opportunities. Thanks, Kim Kimberly Burnham [email protected] poet-in-residence Rickett, C., C. Greive, et al. (2011). "Something to hang my life on: the health benefits of writing poetry for people with serious illnesses." Australas Psychiatry 19(3): 265-268.: "We aimed to explore the effect of a poetry writing program for people who had experienced a serious illness. For this study we randomly assigned 28 volunteer participants with a history of serious illness, usually cancer, to one of two poetry writing workshops. Each group met weekly for 2 hours for 8 weeks. The second group was wait-listed to enable comparison between the two groups. We used the Kessler-10, a measure of wellbeing, before and after the workshops and also interviewed the participants at these times. Participants responded enthusiastically and each group demonstrated an increase in wellbeing over the course of their workshop, moving them from medium to low risk on the K10. Participants enjoyed the challenge of writing and the companionship of other group members. Psychiatrists, especially those working in liaison psychiatry, are in a position to encourage patients who have experienced a serious illness to explore writing as a way of coming to terms with their experiences."

The Year of the Poet project was the brain-child of Jamie Bond and William S. Peters, Sr. The original vision was to commit themselves to writing and publishing a book a month for the year of 2014. In further discussion the vision expanded to include the other Gifted & Talented Writers you see below. The objective is to bring the Poetry Community together with the various cross demographic representations found in Gender, Religion, Geography, Culture and Ethnicity. We hope you enjoy the myriad of perspectives represented here. Thank You, Inner Child Press International. Gail Weston Shazor. This is a creative promise ~ my pen will speak to and for the world.

I'm a project life philanthropist, I speak about the non ethical treatment of poor ghetto people. Why? My family was their equal, my great grandmother and great grandfather was poor, my grandmother and grandfather, my mother and father, poverty to my family was a sequel, a traditional Inheritance of the subliminal. I paid attention to the decades of regression, i tried to make change, but when I came to the fork in the road and looked at the signs that read wrong < > right, I chose the left, the wrong direction, because of street life interactions a lot around me met death or incarceration. I failed myself and others. I regret my decisions, I can't reincarnate dead men, but I can give written visions in laymens. I'm back at that fork in the road, instead of it saying wrong or right, I changed it, now it says dead men < > life.

Kate Peterson was watching Bravo’s “Top Chef” when she found inspiration.
