Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura...
!?...passavo per un saluto!

Eryl Shields said...

Rosa ~ my Italian is incredibly sketchy, so although I can translate most of the words it's a very literal translation that makes little sense, but thank you. I passed by your blog but couldn't leave a comment.

Hi there! I hope that you may have some time to feel free to visit my blog. :)

Hello Eryl,

Thanks for visiting. Glad you've discovered and like Melrose. Hope it lasts! I enjoyed hearing your poem and that you were "inspired" by the bowl to write it. I shall be posting a poem (ahem) tomorrow inspired by the Read Write Poem website's weekly prompt.

Eryl Shields said...

Leigh ~ :)

Jm ~ I will visit your blog in the morning.

Derrick ~ In that case I will come over first thing.

I was quite startled by Melrose: it's so pretty, has a real buzz about it, and it's only about an hours drive along a beautiful road. I don't know how I hadn't found it before!

As this blog has slightly fallen off the twig you can find me more regularly at my main blog thekitchenbitchponders.blogspot.com
Sorry, I have no idea how to put a link in a comment box.

Brilliant. It's amazing the feeling such a simple object can invoke. When I was looking up storytelling pieces I also found this one and thought it was great. I Wanted to share it with others who can appreciate it.

Das Leben dergleichen Halbfaßung
der Welt wahr immer nicht wahr,
nicht wahr? Die fristlos' Entlaßung
am Ende wird kaum wunderbar.

So laßen uns Menschlingen viele
besonders besonnene zum
Zeitweilegem Zeiten als Ziele
des Lebens halbfaßen darum.

Meine deutsche Gedichte

SONNET XXXIX FOR KATIE

I went downtown, saw Katie in the nude
on Common Avenue, detracted soltitude
as it were, like a dream-state rosely hued,
like no one else could see her; DAMN! I phewed;

was reciprokelly then, thank heaven, viewed,
bestowed unique hard-on! but NOT eschewed,
contrair-ee-lee, she took a somewhat rude
'n readidy attude of Sex Prelude; it BREWED!

And for a start, i hiccuped "Hi!", imbued
with Moooood! She toodledooed: "How queued
your awe-full specie-ally-tee, Sir Lewd,
to prove (alas!), to have me finely screwed,

and hopef'lly afterwards beloved, wooed,
alive, huh? Don't you even DO it, Duu-uuude!"

My English Poetry Blog

N'est-que pas que la solitude elle-mème eveille quelque attente fébrile? Voici l'entrée, vide, discrètetement illuminée comme une musée nocturne – la terasse, avec ses torchères ondoyantes par un soir d'Avent étrangement doux – laissant le vestibule et les murmures de voix – la chambre immaculée immaculée et la musique de danse derrière le mur – et le bar à cocktails mondains – le bassin où le nageur s'entrâine, longeur après longeur, il en n'a jamais assez, il doit y mettre de sien – enfin, tournant vers le haut au coin du sombre couloir vient la fille noire et pâle, altière, déterminée et de style épuré, ainsi qu'un moderne avion de chasse suédois.

Exit time. Las chicas dejan el espejo de bar
dormindose en sus corazónes de alta traícion.
El Señor no levanta. Él pastorea a sus pies
los presuntos compradores. Y nos bendice.

Consider Sex and time, procreation, reincarnation. Trigonometry! I envisage the time axis as the repetitive tangens function. Do you see what I mean? What can be tentatively derived from this notion? Clue: orgasm AND birth pangs at tan 0.
