Analysis of Kaleidoscope



Running crystals, red touches, purple creepers, yellow stalkers,

green dancers,myriad rainbow formations!

Delight runs amok

of this ever changing scenario,

stopped by stops, returned by turns to challenge

vision’s adaptability to unharness mind’s

free-lancing forces at

In the south of Brazil, where there are many foreign-born citizens who speak other languages natively, she used more German, Latin, Italian, French, and Spanish, as well as Portuguese and English.In addition to her concert career and international travels, she is a teacher, parent, grandparent, publisher, editor, patent holder, philosopher and published poet and author. She has traveled to more than 15 different countries and has had more than thirty-five years experience in the creative arts and education.
