Re: New poem

Hello @StuF 

 

I found your poem to be very profound..

 

The true meaning is yours and how the words reach others is what poetry is about..

 

Keep on writing ..

 

I would love to read more of your work..

 

Hello all fellow readers @greenpea @TAB @Meowmy 

Anyone else a budding poet?

Re: New poem

poetry was never my thing @Sophia1  writing perhaps. My brain goes 'ugh' at poetry same as abstract art etc

Re: New poem

Hello @StuF 

 

Yes share away ...

 

I would love to read more of your work...

 

Poetry is not as easy as some might think....

 

Hello @TAB 

 

I have attempted to write poetry over the years and for some reason I seem to be stuck on everything rhyming concept.

 

Then there is prose which is different again.

 

I have done some writing also Tab and looking up the definition of prose.

Some of my writing might fall under prose.

 

Only the experts would know.

 

I studied 5 years of french and latin and then 1 semester of night school of italian...

too far to drive too tired after full day's work so stopped.

 

I love languages including english.

 

These days I get them all muddled up laugh.

Can make interesting conversation ..

Can also receive odd looks from people who actually speak french and or italian fluently..

I love authentic italian food..

Re: New poem

Hi @Sophia1  my first German teacher used to say I had an accent and she couldn't quite place it. 
I was so flattered. Took me decades to realise what I was coming up with was a mish mash lol. Heard 5 german speakers as a child none of them sounded close to the others

Re: New poem

well at least you caught the attention of the german teacher @TAB 

 

I imagine that they have dialects even in Germany...

I can't be bothered with capital letters today..

 

Then of course some people are naturally lazy in there speech..

then there is slang..

 

So you probably did know more than the teacher....

Re: New poem

When I used to listen I didn't know a word, just sounds. And they All sounded different to one another . One was from Sudentenland, one from Berlin, one Schlesien eg. @Sophia1

Re: New poem

Yes there are dialects @Sophia1  some areas even so different are classified as having their own languages. I stayed in Trier w cousins boyfriend who was a local. She had found him an Asterix book in the local 'language'

 

Re: New poem

oh wow @TAB 

 I am surprised that Asterix was allowed there.

 

So Trier is close to the border.

 

Where did you live then if you are able to say?

Re: New poem

when I was there , was former East on the other side. Can see from yellow carriages its U bahn not S bahn ok strassebahn or schellbahn in East. was a big train station on east bank of river where all old lines intersected, had to get off one to get on the other

um then I stayed in Hannover , Trier after dropping in to Dusseldorf on the way there and back, then Jerxheim near Wolfenbuttel before getting a lift back to Berlin.I loved the trains there.
