Say "Hi" in this Thread

[abu nuwas]

Hello fellow squiggle-tailed new friends.

I am Luna, a Mokummer, that is to say a resident and local of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Mokum is the name given to Amsterdam by the early Jewish community and it is Yiddish for 'The Place' - as in 'the place to be'.

I hasten to add, I do not align myself with any organised religion, but I am proud to be a Mokummer.

This looks like an on-line kind of Mokum and from what I have gleaned so far, there are plenty of funky chaps and chapesses I would like to interract with in a poetical way.

I am English by birth. A mother of two grown sons and two furry cats.

I lookforward to 'meeting' you all.

Hullo, Luna! I hope you enjoy the site.

My son lives in Friesland, (coincidentally in a road called Mokumstraat, I think, though I would need to check) and was so enthusiastic for Holland that he has now acquired Dutch nationality-- though for the life of me I cannot see what advantage he gains, as he was already entitled to all the benefits, as an EU national (UK). Crikey, how far from poetry is discussion of nationality...!!!!
