HELLO AND MEET MY FRIEND EDDIE aka THE DARK BLUE
KNIGHT

*~*~*
My, my, can't seem to remember when we first became
acquainted.  It seems someone referred me to his website,
and I spent quite a while there, just amazed at his beautiful
style of writing poetry.  Also looking and reading about his
very interesting and adventurous background.  I do remember however writing to ask if I could put one of his
poems on my website.  Which he cordially agreed to, and
I remember how I was a little nervous about doing a page
that he would approve of.  Afterall, I was not use to publishing poetry written by men.  Before long his sweet and laid back spirit eased my mind, and the matter of
gender wasn't an issue for me. 

Eddie soon became a wonderful friend to me and has always been very supportive of my websites, and we have
become great friends. 

He has sent some wonderful photos of his homeland,
and some of himself.  I hope you enjoy meeting my
friend, Eddie, The Dark Blue Knight.
