"Langauge Lessons"
In honor of National Poetry Month, here is my poem "Language Lessons":
Language Lessons
Latin is an incantation, a spell.
French is poetry, in an endless circle.
German is a seizure, controlled contempt.
Italian is a festival with fireworks.
Spanish is a pot of boiling water.
Japanese is softly falling snow.
Russian is a stack of large wooden blocks.
English is empty promises to children.
