Nan
zei mij
oh Titia lief
wees jij zo vrij
schrijf jij nou een rhopalic
in je eigen taal
dan lezen wij
de vertaling
allemaal
Nan
told me
oh Titia dear
please feel so free
do try to write rhopalic
in your own tongue
we will try
to read
along



not a good one yet, but I'll keep trying

Oh well, just learned from Vicky's rhopalic, wasn't paying attention in class, so this one sucks. I'll make another one. Just got confused a bit

Titia-
   Don't beat yourself up, my friend.
   This is wonderful!
   There is NO way, I'd be able to do
   a poem in Dutch or any other language
   for that matter!
   I, too, stand in awe...I salute you..

   hugs,
   ~vicky

You're too kind, but I won't be satisfied till I got it right. In one two three words it's not too hard, but syllables is more difficult because of my lack of knowing many words in English, synonimes (different words meaning the same). But I won't give up.

Actually I can make myself understandeble in English, German and French because in my time highschool we had to learn those three foreign languages. Nowadays English is obligatory and you're free to choose another one.

Thanks again for your sweet support

Titia ,
I too must agree . It's tough enough for me to say what I want to in English , much less another language . Cudos to you my friend .

Titia - This is great - and you didn't get confused - We didn't give you any guidelines except for the increasing syllable count.  Vicky just gave it a great twist - As you did here... I'm smiling..

Great work!  I thoroughly enjoyed this.  Dutch is a beautiful language indeed.     If only I knew how it sounded aloud.
