My Honey, mine Pretty... thus  I do remember

How thou, just new born, with thine own cry came

Slight like  that Angel, thus as the morn dew tender,

All in devotion, thou we do welcome in frame.

Blast far stormy nights, blast all past days then gloomy...

See in thine gentle pink, ribboned cap, so funny

Thee art.  Whenever  that Chubby Tot you mind,

Remember how Pretty  forever Thou I find:

When a babe thou was... grown-up thee now art,

Daily Happy Birthday Thee live in mine heart,

Thee, Jewel, Tiny Tot, eternally there stay.

Be blessed for thine every smile... Do I pray...

Very beautiful; thou art a master crafter of words.

God bless you Cyraknow ! and thank you. My daughter is keen on each poetic blast like this and maybe it will delight her once more !

What about you . You seem to enjoy poetic art in french, do you likewise in british ?  In my part french is " a magnifique " way to express. Isn't it ?

[Cyraknow]

Yes, I love poetry in both French and English. I'm American, from Chicago.

Where are your from? French people seldom write in English, let alone ye olde English.

Thank you Fitivana for sharing this awesome poem with us ! I an unfortunately not fluent enough in English -not to mention old English- to appreciate all the subtleties of you verses. But still I really enjoy them. They seem like a fragment of life in its best and deepest instants. The last one is especially touching. And the peculiar rhythm makes this poem very pleasant to read.

Well! He.. first ... Glad and surprised in the fact you and me are foreigners and keen on french art civilisation. In my part I'm native of a wonderfull country, Madagascar. I belong to  Malagasy people but dwelling in Reunion Island for more than 60 years now. Very much to tell for a curious life understanding. And WHY my " affection " for english language ... ? I ask myself ...  why  ! I was then about ten and i already had gentle exchange with South African pupils delegation while they had a friendly visit in our college. And more and more occasions later. But don't laugh if I say you that during my stay in Réunion Island I never had opportunity to speak my own malagasy language. By the way, by lack of practice I'm unable for any exchange with any of my fellow countrypeople.  Disaster ...isn't it?

Let's see more again on TLP . See you soon.
