Yann Rolland Poet Free verse

a shooting star

Tell you this again,
When you see
A shooting star,
Someone loves you,

Someone tells you
“Eat chocolates”
Offer jewelry,
Think of me, then,

Pineapple flavors,
Mango flavors,
On a distant island
There is happiness,

Tell you this again
When you see
A shooting star,
There’s someone who loves you.




Dites-vous ceci,
Quand vous voyez
Une étoile filante,
Quelqu’un vous aime,

Quelqu’un vous dit
Mangez des chocolats
Offrez des bijoux,
Pensez à moi, alors,

Parfum d’ananas,
Parfum de mangue,
Sur une ile lointaine
Il y a du bonheur,

Redites-vous ceci
Quand vous voyez
Une étoile filante,
Quelqu’un vous aime.

Speaks Volumes November 30, 2023 at 7:58 PM I don't read French quite well enough to go alone on the second one, but I loved the English version Yann. C'est magnifique mon ami. Yann Rolland November 30, 2023 at 10:45 PM Merci beaucoup SV, for the compliment that touch me deeply, have a sweet day

Mystic Rose Rose November 19, 2023 at 7:14 PM I like it in both languages lol Yann Rolland November 30, 2023 at 10:45 PM i miss your comment Rose, oopppps, thank you

Anisha Dutta November 19, 2023 at 7:09 PM Bengali proverb says, if you wish any thing when you chanced to see a shooting star, your wish will be fulfilled. Nice piece. I enjoyed. Yann Rolland November 30, 2023 at 10:46 PM thanks a lot Anisha , this is a wondeful proverb, i will remember lways take care

Maria Fernandez-Garcia November 19, 2023 at 2:59 PM Yann, I agree with you. The stars talk to us and the most of times we don't even see them. What a waste of time for them to make such a big effort, when we don't even appreciate the light and the strenght that give to us. Well done my friend. I really loved this. Stunning! Yann Rolland November 19, 2023 at 5:17 PM thank you so much, Maria, i guess wa have always to make some effort ( not so big), enjoyed your gracious comment

Jerry Brotherton November 19, 2023 at 12:35 PM some profound words my friend. Yann Rolland November 19, 2023 at 5:15 PM thanks a lot, Jerry, i love looking at stars, they inspire me, and they really exist have a nice week

Silent One November 13, 2023 at 1:41 PM I dont see any shooting starts... does that mean no one loves me? lol.. Great poem and you must be a great wordsmith to write in two different languages.. Yann Rolland November 13, 2023 at 11:08 PM thanks a lot SO, there are the limits of the "theorem" of the shooting star, may be someone loves you, i hope so

Ilene Bauer November 13, 2023 at 12:42 PM very lovely, yann! i rarely see shooting stars, so i guess that doesn't say much about me, but i love the idea you've expressed... Yann Rolland November 13, 2023 at 11:08 PM thanks Ilene, very much, i love the idea too have a sweet day

Daniel Turner November 13, 2023 at 6:43 AM Very nice Yann. I see them quite often but really never associated them with anyone loving me. Im not that nice, really. LOL Yann Rolland November 13, 2023 at 11:10 PM thanks Daniel, I guess it is just a superstition, but it helps some days
