New Blog Coming Up

Hi all.. Sorry for my rather long silence - soon I shall back to blogging, hopefully regularly. In fact, I've got a new blog coming up (on the side - this one will still exist, too). My other blog will focus on my travels and my experience teaching English to little French kids, so stay tuned!

I now have three blogs - this one, the main one; my Lost in Linguistics blog about my language learning journey; and now, my travel/teaching blog. I will do my best to keep updating the main one regularly, but will also post travel and language specific posts on my other blogs.

Will provide links as soon as my first post is up!

Promises - Poem

Wheat field image from  Stockvault   Promises I will think of you As the sun sets on wheat fields I had said, convinced Field rampaged, violent Winds pushing continents a part of me, of you. We were mere strangers. I discovered new wheat fields Basked in the warm glow The sun not setting and the colours not fading But I was a rose With thorns too prickly Oh, emotions - too needy A tiger to be. Two kites were broken I'm the victim and culprit Add another stripe.

Wrong Turn on a Holiday Walk

Shared on Poets United  following the prompt. -- Wrong Turn on a Holiday Walk Parakeets roam the beach Investigate the sandcastle we could never make. A breeze, in the warmth leads us to the ocean's edge. Here, some postcards, an ice cream box. We turn left. Here a hotel, and a pool with nobody in it. Early morning for the holidaying women and men, The sun not fully burning the skin. The woman in front is very red With thin white stripes on her shoulders Tourist's tattoo. We glance at each other, our olive skin, second home. Time has passed and there are trees A forest, we joke, with wolves. It wasn't here before and now we figure We went the wrong way. Walking forever that day, uphill, mostly Passing rows and rows of coloured houses and cats, who make the island theirs. Perdon , I think, practising asking for directions. We will not be lost visitors. I take matters in my hands. I will lead u
