Short Bonjour Poems

I draw
the curtains-
in the sunshine
the clematis beams a 
bonjour...

as the sun rises, daylight says bonjour - and the darkness bids adieu

Return journey flight
Peeping through the window pane
To my sheer delight
Clad with snow and misty clouds
Himalaya greets "Bonjour"...

In the world we have war
Look at it a little more
Every country has a word for a greeting
Why can't we end war by a simple meeting...

Something you won't need to know
Good morning to you
Whereas you say the same to me
Hola, me llamo

Bonjour, je mappelle
Nothing, it is still a secret
Shalom, shalom

My name is a secret,
Something you won't need to know,
 So hello to you too....

Good morning, bonjour
is it AU or EU
I've had a undertakers dream
That I cannot tell the difference
Mr Bishop can you give me your Latin leadership
I regret my misunderstandings
French is such a revoir
Tell me the difference between
AI or EI
My progress is transfixed
between the real and sought after...

Love will find you in many ways
A way no one will expect in a million days

It will come when you least expect it
It will grab you and make you fill like you have been hit

It is a magical feeling
One that is sure worth telling

I have found mine I know for sure
Don't be afraid to speak up and say Bonjour...

i am strange the fly in the sky
to greet you every morning
with bonjour hello sayonara
 
a trip to the bodega for a banana
to eat with blueberry and a look at the sky
children waiting  for the bus to nowhere

adios you kidding me the wonder of a pass
the future of me shoveling the snow
not a wonder the grand ma...

Bonjour mon cher, how did you sleep?
I hope that your ears didn't ring
For all night long 
I spoke your name in song
From sunset until dayspring

Your sweet sounding name, my heart rendered aflame
With thoughts of you filling my head
And those eyes, and that smile
Inimitable style
Rendered breathless, my thoughts left unsaid...

I will write about what you want me to write
Just e-mail me
I will send you an email to tell you that your poem just get posted
And will delete your email so I know that you have been addressed
Something God put in my heart to do
I think we will have fun
I will not mention your name in your poem
Bonjour and Bon ton
Hope you enjoy it!...

Les bras du cœur sont grands ouvert 
C'est le temps dit chanté 
Venez en profiter 
Lance-moi vos sourires 
Je vais même vous faire rire 
Notre destin est libre 
Voilà, l'équilibre 
Dieu protège et rejoint 
Seigneur, je te retiens 
Au fond de mon cœur 
Où demeures 
La profondeur 
Merci Seigneur 
La suprématie 
Bonjour mes nouveaux amis...

Hello

Bonjour, Hola, Hello,
These are the greetings I know.
Good Morning, Evening, Goodnight,
There are the greetings I like.

I enjoy the funny and the fair,
like Howdy, Hey, How goes it there?
The ones that make me smile a bit
Whats new, Whats up, Yo, Howzit!

So many ways to greet a fellow,
My favorite of course is still hello!

Take a chicken
From out the yard
Wring its neck
Until it's not
Put the carcass
In a pot
Filled with water
Boiling hot
Add some spices
Mainly salt
Plus some celery 
By the stalk
Pick the bones 
From off the bird
Nice and tender
Is the word
Save the juices
I have heard
Common colds
It is the cure
Pick it up
And say bonjour
Lick your fingers
Afterwards...

Avec grande amour
Joyeux Noël et bonne année
Faut toujours bien se rappeler
Notre sourire est précieux
Au bon Dieu
Réjouir
Des beaux souvenirs
Les liaisons 
Parmi nos chansons
Chaque note
Nous emporte
J'admire
Vous faire rire
Bonne humour 
À tous les jours
Passion d'amour
Chacun son tour
C'est bien Moi
J'ai confiance en soi
Venez mes nouveaux amis
J'ai les chaises sorties...

It wasn't hard to say goodbye
Until I saw my sister cry
Then so did I 
As we drove away.

It wasn't hard to say chaio 
To the laugh lines in the brow
Of my Dad who showed me how
As his hug wished me to stay

It wasn't hard to say bonjour
To my mother at the door
As our tears started to pour
In the last hug of the day

It wasn't hard to say adieu 
To everything I knew
Looking forward as I flew
To finding my own way....

she was on the right hand side,,
i greeted her once
i called her a Madam,
she agreed once,
ouch once upon a time,i greeted her by a Madam once.

it'would be different story if i did pounce to her
it would be less than an ounce 
it 'd been a natio-wild
in her biology.
a Madam 
dabbing my fingers on a table,
Bonjour  Madam 
a cog Madam.

the computer screen if facing me,
the poetry competition, write anything about Madam,
i greeted a woman by  calling her a Madam....

Nous venons
Nous errons
Et nous allons
C'est tout ce que nous savons.

Nous venons sur terre
Nous errons sur la terre
Et nous partons sans rien
Sans argent, de sous et de biens.

Bonjour, nous disons
Nous discutons, rions et chantons
Et nous nous échappons sans rien
Sans frères et sœurs, jetons et liens.
