Ukrainian Poetry Translations 2 by Michael R Burch
Love in Kyiv by Natalka Bilotserkivets translation by Michael R. Burch Love is more terrible in Kyiv than spectacular Venetian passions, than butterflies morphing into bright tapers– winged caterpillars bursting aflame! Here spring has lit the chestnuts, like candles, and we have cheap lipstick’s fruity taste, the daring innocence of miniskirts, and all these ill-cut coiffures. And yet images, memories and portents still move us... all so...

Ukrainian Poetry translations by Michael R Burch
Dear God! by Taras Shevchenko translation by Michael R. Burch Dear God, disaster again! Life was once calm, serene... But as soon as we began to break the chains Of bondage that enslaved us, The whip cracked! The serfs' blood flew! Now, like ravenous wolves fighting over a bone, The Imperial thugs are at each other's throats again. Zapovit ("Testament") by Taras Shevchenko translation by Michael R....

ukrainian regrets
There was poetry, In the open fields, On the slanted blueberries, On the skirts of schoolgirls, There was poetry, In the sunny cupboards, In the quiet gardens, In the sweet air of spring, There was some poetry In the caressing hands, In the chalk of the school, On the obsolete words, There was poetry, In the fruit basket, On the laughter of the boys, On the wool of sheep, There was...

Ukrainian Horror
To hunt with a full stomach To bite into the neck of the smaller Without hunger Fangs clamped to the back of her neck Her face Devoured crumpled paper Spit up Re-smoothed to creases Eyes nose mouth map Her splintered village Smoldering Over her shoulder Shreds of scarves blouses skirts Blown to the astonished charred limbs Of her bare front yard tree As if the widow should believe The willow was...

Premium Member Souls and Bodies We'Ll Lay Down
“Souls and Bodies We’ll Lay Down” Ominous clouds have Invaded my soul; Thrust swords into my heart. Darker than the midnight air. Stars gone forever more. Bloodied hands in my dreams. I dream not of tranquility But of lightning and thunder Pain and hunger. I pray for your peace Your hope and honor. For blue skies and golden wheat. I pray that your Trident, Strikes the heart of...

Premium Member Ukrainian Sea Shanty
Murderers and rapists they all be Vlad Putins scumbags, his army They should all be hung from a tree For all the world to see. (huh) (Chorus) They bombed cities and towns as well And made the landscape look like hell The Russians claimed it was only a drill But it's their excuse to kill. In close combat Russians can't fight Despite their superior military...
