My name is Adrian Grauenfels and I was born in Romania many years ago. After graduating the School of Engineering I immigrated to Israel. I have always been fond of writing poetry because I have always found it easier in comparison to prose, where one needs the plot of a story, a location in time, well defined characters, and an interesting ending.As far as poetry is concerned, one can develop an idea and leave it unfinished, to the reader's imagination who, in his turn, will suggest new solutions, even a new religion, or even a flight in a hot air balloon. My poems have always been written by themselves, springing out from the impressions or emotions that I have lived up till now. In order to seduce his reader, a poet needs only two or three words that are carefully chosen. As a consequence, I wrote a lot of books in Romanian, but I have no idea if they have been read or not.
