Un Confit Pour Toi--A Sweet For You

Aimeriez vous une chevaline rouge 
Composée de sucre d’orge?
(would you like a red horse made of barley sugar?)
Vous pourriez faire la race de
Plaines aux tires d’eponge.
(you could race across sponge toffee plains)
Vous amènera à un bosquet d’arbres
Faites de réglisses à la menthe
Ou des bariolé jujubes croissent au lieu de feuilles.
(would bring you to a grove of trees
Made of mint liquorices
Where multicolour jujubes grow instead of leaves).

For Debbie Guzzi's biLingual Poetry Contest
you wished for me to write something sweet, Debs:))

Hello Mikki, What a neat poem here for sure with the bilingual rendition of French and English!! Great Work and very interesting. "Jujubes" -- huh?? So perfect and appropriate (LOL)!! Being someone, like yourself, who navigates in languages other than English, I always find it refreshing to use snippets of other languages in some of my writings too. I think this helps to make all of us better writers when we push the foreign language envelop at times when each of us writes. SEVEN!! Best, Gary

I glad this poem was bi-lingual. Enjoyed what I read though I wish I could read French now. Also, I see from the comments that this won a contest. Congratulations!

well, I am seeing this one won in the contest. It's a good thing. You sure put a lot of work into it!! Yes, I would love a cat, but until I can fix the odor the other one left in our carpet, I am afraid to get a new cat that might be affected to continue that nasty habit left by my Lilah cat!!

this is VERY Sweet. Did you use a translator or do you actually know French. What an awesome language it would be to know! Good one, sweetie.
