    Francisco Gomes de Matos’ poems are wonderful. I enjoy reading them and I learn a lot from his poems.

    By the way, may I ask you, Mr. Francisco Gomes de Matos, to prepare poems, written specifically from the view point(s) of women, for instance?

    May I ask you to prepare poems, written specifically from the view point(s) of an ethnic, cultural, or religious minority, for instance?

    Once again, thank you very much for beautiful poems.
