Chapters 19 and 21 are PL OK. Well done.

Listening to these poems is relaxing.
It's never jumbled, garbled, or taxing,
But now I must go take a nap,
Lest I spill coffee in my lap.

Oh Lomond! Your verse got me laughing out loud. Thanks for that hearty laugh. Such a surprise when I recognized that you rhymed it! Thanks for having such fun and sharing it!

I'm working intensely on the French verses. And the cover. Wrapping this one up!

I saw something somewhere that requested soloists to limit the Genres to around three, so I moved the remaining ones to Keywords.

Got it, thank you!

As far as the links, I don't need them for the final project. Because the book has one "author" collecting these verses, that is the only author that we have. If this was a collection, where you collected the verses from many different sources, then I could use them if the authors didn't already have a wiki link connected with them. But, thank you for thinking of me!

I'm using the following image for my cover.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/matthew_lancaster_2/22908211223/in/photostream/
"Public domain"

https://search.creativecommons.org/photos/662d0bbf-6637-448e-9810-7ce9f0c1419e
"This work has been marked as dedicated to the public domain."

I want to verify that I can use it.

Should I attribute it to Matthew Lancaster, whom I think photographed and posted it online? Or to Rodney Matthews, whom I think painted it?

Thanks

Cool picture! I would ask in the cover makers thread, just because the people who run that thread know better than I do. I will make sure that you are reserved for your project!

I did some more research. I see that the person who put the illustration into the public domain was not the illustrator. The illustrator sold the picture to a band that used it for an album cover. He continues to sell his prints.

I got a completely different idea for the cover now.

Thanks for all of your support.

Still working on my French. I thought I'd take a shortcut and use text-to-speech for these poems rather than meticulously applying the pronunciation rules for each word. Well...I acquired bad habits. Kitty/Sonia's tutoring is helping, but I've needed a lot of practice. I'm getting it. Each time I record it I like it better. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.

Yes! Done! That one was a vigorous workout!!! So many mistakes that were so hard to fix as I learned a little something about how to speak a little French. When I woke up reciting the verses, I figured it was time to finish up and move on.

My cover is ready for me to add the final time for this file and the total. Thanks for your patience!

Greetings -

Aaargh!

Sorry for the delay in getting to this, Grace. Life...ah, life...

Chapter 18 is PL OK. Your French sounds just fine to me. :-)

What next for you?
