A French sonnet for Mother's Day. |
Ma mère -- Une belle femme, Résolvez tous les dilemmes. Vous êtes singulière. Une femme confiante -- Vous êtes mon fort, Et à moi, ma mère, vous êtes mon confort. Vous êtes très importante. Tu es plus de mots je sais comment dire, M'inspire á rire et écrire. Tu es Maman -- Tu es toujours ici Pour moi, et maintenant, Tu mérite quelque chose spécial, "Je t'aime et merci." (My mother -- A beautiful woman, Solving all the problems. You are remarkable. A confident woman -- You are my strength, And to me, my mother, you are my comfort. You are very important. You are more than the words I know how to say, Inspiring me to laugh and to write. You are my Mom -- You are always here For me, and now, You deserve something special, "I love you and thank you.") N.B. This follows a more French structure of a sonnet which is the rhyming scheme ABBAABBA CC DEDE. However, as noticed with the second quatrain the structure is broken, now making it ABBACDDC EE FGFG. N.B. Reviews: I realize the difficulty in reviewing a French poem (if you don't know the language) so if you're stuck then try just the English part ignoring rhyming schemes. |
