Pretty challenging to transliterate any tongue to English pronunciation, but Alqonquin. At least no one can argue with your spelling. Nicely done. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

The Algonquin Nation, I am sure would be so proud to know someone had an interest such as this. You should send your poem them. I bet they would really enjoy this. This is a wonderful poem. Enjoyed. http://www.algonquinnation.ca/ JL  She said: ”You look cute in the dark.” |

You prove, again, that poetry can be a language unto itself. Well done!!! *smile* |
