BLASTS of COLORS*

Color me human
Red as in flesh
Red as in blood
Red as in cross

Color me life
Red, yellow, and blue
Orange, green, and purple
white and Black too

Colorful flags
signs, signals, lights
Colorful spirits
free us from fights

Color, shades, opinions
Terror forces religions
to wash out the red in human blood

Tanks, missiles, bombs
Blasts splash colors everywhere
legs, eyes, human hair
London colors -
Hope ya'll still there

Sup? I'm Laila Chris Burden. Welcome to Cellar Door. English isn't my mother tongue, but that's the language in which I best communicate. Besides a blogger, I am a teacher, a poet, a stationery junkie, a married woman, and have two cats. I teach languages, do pilates and therapy, and major in psychology. I speak Portuguese on the daily basis. Brazil is the country where I live and in here people speak this awesome latin language. I also speak German, Spanish, some French, Mandarin, and Japanese. I am a visual arts freak, although I'm very fond of music. I lived in Florida for a while though my trip was part of an exchange student program. I went to the US to achieve another college degree. I studied Liberal Arts in Saint Petersburg, Pinellas County (Tampa Bay area), USA. I had also taken another college degree course in Brazil before moving to Uncle Sam's land. I hold a bachelor's degree in Journalism. Another interesting fact of my life is that my present occupation is not actually based on writing or arts per se. I teach ESL- English as a Second Language. Never would I imagine becoming a teacher in this life. Well, maybe I should have since my both parents are ESL teachers. My husband manages our ESL school, PBF, and teaches English as well. We live along with a Siamese cat called Tibby and a black short-hair one called Pancho Villa. I am terrible driver but a wonderful chef. Hubby's name is Roberto and we are both from Sao Paulo. We have been non officially married for 14 years and we have been officially dating since September 1991. Btw, I'm in my mid thirties. Hubby and I have been going through gizillions of ups and downs in this life and yet we keep on moving. We work hard to pay utilities including the broad band Internet wireless connection which allows me blog on. We do struggle. We do love what we do. I love my writings, my husband, my kitties, my occupation, my blogs. I love being the kind of monkey I turned out being.
