Who is knocking at my door ?
Is there a thief tapping  on his car,
is there a star falling down
in my familial garden ?

Is there a carpenter
hammering the props of a dream,
is there Babe Ruth breaking a bat
or making a home run ?

Who is knocking at my door ?
Is there a poet
rewinding a memory as a clock,
None of them, it's simply my heart
just ticking along, I'm still alive.

2islander2,

This is pretty good.  I’d make a little change in the line:

“or making an home run?”

I’d change that “an” to “a”.

Yann, I enjoyed this & having read it a couple of times, I changed the last few lines in my head to " It's simply my heart, just ticking along" the reason for this was I was expecting a further reference to the clock of a few lines before. I am not trying to rewrite your work for you, just offering up a different take & hopefully constructive critique. I know you are trying hard with the language and you are doing a good job. The improvement since your first post is very clear to see. Well done    John

Bonjour Yann... I haven't responded to any of your work to date... but I do like this one very much...   Where in France do you live? I love Paris and will be back in September for a month...   RDB

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Thank you Roniece for your kind comment...I live in Brittany (extrem west of france) in a town i'm sure you have never heard in Australia (Brest)....I find you very brave to come in France because of the 24 hours of flight,  there would not have been these 24 hours i would have surely visit australia since a long time...i hope to go some day...
Once again thanks for your kind comments...

   Best wishes
