«...I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.» «The Road Not Taken» By Robert Frost

My Creativity.
«Creativity means different things to different people. For me, creativity is a soul exhaling, a combustion of thoughts and emotions, a stream of consciousness channeled into verses and rhymes, or sometimes without rhymes. I have been writing poetry my entire life. It tends to come as a surprise to me when people ask me how I reconcile my creativity with my career in finance. Who says you are not allowed to be well-rounded? What you are as a person isn’t always what you do for a living. As a person - I am my poetry. I welcome any reactions from readers to my poems. They are all harlequin seams running across our multi-dimensional universe of energies and emotions».
Sincerely yours, Alla Bashenko

What People Say About Me
«As was proclaimed in Bulat Okudzhava's poetry, Alla Bashenko's verses are «written on paper just as they come out of one's soul when breathing»... Tender and nervous pulse of life, full of author's love towards people and the world in its unmeasurable entirety, comes through clearly in Alla's poems via masterful and often unusual combinations of classical poetic canons and white verse... Alla reacts to the challenges, gains and losses that time brings us fearlessly and with an open heart - that is her life's choice. Feeling such a deep embracement of life's paths cannot possibly leave any reader ambivalent towards artistic works of this talented poetess.»
