A very very short poem
July 15th 2008 18:46
I was genuinely proud of myself for this poem. I love it to bits because of what it means: I'm learning Japanese! I love Japanese, I have an appreciation for the culture, the anime, the manga, the language. The religion. To me Japan is a place of beauty-culturally if not physically.
And this is why putting this in my novel felt like such an accomplishment-it comes with translation, of course:
"Kurai ya denki issho ni
Ane Ani tomodochi issho ni
Sensei Gakesu issho ni
Kurai ya denki issho ni"
Meaning:
"Light and dark together
Older sister older brother friend together
Teacher student together
Light and dark together"
My enthusiasm for writing goes beyond the English language. It goes towards Japanese, to French, to German. I love languages, I love writing.
This is my passion. And I look forward to the day when I can write an entire novel in Japanese. Won't that be something to feel good about?
