I write only for you

I write only for you, Not for the king, so smart, Not for Paris, Not for the mirrors of the sky, I only write for you. I do not write for the abbot Who weeps before God, I don’t write for the publisher Crying without Morand And believing only in money, I write only for you, By for my dead mom, Not for the general Of the armies of Ukraine, I only write for you. I don’t write for the devil, Often in need of love, I don’t write for the city, Who thinks only of butter And for your money, And steal our thoughts, I write only for you, That haunts every morning, Not for the king, so clever, Not for the blue angels, I write only for you, I write only for you, Not for the French, Not for the liars, Neither for the Parisians, They eat our cauliflower flowers, I write only for you, Not for the thieves, Not for the picards, Nor even for glory, Nor even for the sky, I write only for you, Not for Saint Germain des Prés, Not for the church of Madeleine, I write only for you, Not for the dear friends Who went up to heaven, I only write to please you. Je n’écris que pour toi, Pas pour le roi, si malin, Pas pour Paris, Pas pour les miroirs du ciel, Je n’écris que pour toi. Je n’écris pas pour l’abbé Qui pleure devant Dieu, Je n’écris pas pour l’éditeur Qui pleure sans Morand Et ne croit qu’à l’argent, Je n’écris que pour toi, Par pour ma maman, Pas pour le général Des armées d’Ukraine, Je n’écris que pour toi. Je n’écris pas pour le diable, Souvent en mal d’amour, Je n’écris pas pour la ville, Qui ne pense qu’au beurre Et à l’argent du beurre, Et nous vole nos pensées, Je n’écris que pour toi, Qui hante tous mes matins, Pas pour le roi, si malin, Pas pour les anges bleus, Je n’écris que pour toi, Je n’écris que pour toi, Pas pour les français, Pas pour les menteurs, Ni pour les parisiens, Qui mangent nos choux fleurs, Je n’écris que pour toi, Pas pour les voleurs, Pas pour les picards, Ni même pour la gloire, Ni même pour le ciel, Je n’écris que pour toi, Pas pour Saint Germain des Prés, Pas pour l’église de Madeleine, Je n’écris que pour toi, Pas pour les amis si chers Qui sont montés au paradis, Je n’écris que pour te plaire.

A noble choice, to only write for your Mother... Too many others write just to make a dollar ... An emotive piece of poetry here, Yann. Great work!

You have someone very special in your mind. This is a beautiful dedication to that person and not to anyone else. Warm feelings of love touchingly expressed, dear Yaan.

You have the passion of a poet, my friend, Yann. Your poet today has a smooth rhythm to it and the repetition was used well for emphasis. I'm sure your mom is pleased with your poetry. Write On! Bill
