Here are the next two poems I wrote for Global Poetry Writing Month. It's interesting trying to get back in the habit, because I used to write poems quite often... I should probably get back into the study of forms and meter and such.
From where comes
this desire to speak
ten thousand tongues
with countless words?
toki mute li pona tawa mi
dw i'n caru tafod y ddraig
la verda lingvo de mia koro
and the language of the birds
each is a unique window
into the wordless mystery
Awen! Awen! Awen!
O Muse, I call upon thee!
Grant my tongue flexibility
In the ways that you best know
Grant my mouth the open suppleness
To drink from your inspired flow
Grant my mind to catch the creative
Spark of your genius divine
And my heart to be native
A faithful receptive follower thine.
