An Klok Du

English version below/Versyon Sowsnek a-woles

An bravva klok du ma, fastyes gans kadon owr, yw poos a-dro dh'ow honna avel lien wosa glaw drog. Ow herdhya war-nans war ow skodhow avel kofheans sad y lok dannvenegys. Y lostow pali a sav yn jentyl war awel tomm an hav hag yth ankevav.

Ogh mes y dewlder a drig hwath yn kornellow ow dewlagas, orth ow holya avel figur skeus a'm hunlevow, ow lettya'n golowys ha tenna ow attendyans. Mes y dhiwiska a via koll a neppyth mar deg ha splann, gwrys gans an amal aral.


Unnik yn y dekter ha honen a wel, mar ollgemmyn y halsa bos kerth nebonan. Mes ottomma ow hlok du, omdhesedhys dhe bub gwisk, pub desedhans. Difresyans a'n tomder ha'n glaw, an howl ha'n kloud. Ottomma ow hlok du, ha my a'n gwisk gans gooth moredh.

This finest black cloak, fastened with a golden chain, weighs heavy around my neck as a scarf after heavy rain. Pushing down on my shoulders as a constant reminder of its understated presence. It's velvet tails rise gentle in the warm summer's breeze and I forget.

Oh yet it's darkness still haunts the corners of my eyes, stalking like a shadowy figure from my nightmares, blotting out the light and drawing my attention. But to take it off would be to loose something so beautiful and resplendent, crafted by the other side.

Alone in its beauty and isolated from sight, so ubiquitous that it could be anyone's. But this is my black cloak, matched to every outfit, every situation. Protection from the heat and the rain, the sun and the cloud. This is my black cloak, and I wear it with melancholic pride.

The third attempt at NaPoWriMo 2025 with the prompt of writing a poem that obliquely explains why you are a poet and not some other kind of artist. I'm not sure how oblique my attempt is, but I started writing at quarter to six this morning and finished after parents' evening at work, so... Deray My a gar "art". Pub eghen a "art". Pub blas yn kist tesennow "art". My a vynn gul "art", Avel peber "art". Mes py par? Ilewydh yw mester Gen gitar ha band Ow kana hag ow seni Kanow ha sonyow Rag delit an bys. Ottena "art" Ha my bardh.

MiSkriBa 25 - 01/30 - Korsen

 Otta ni, MiSkriBa nowyth ha vyvy heb postya omma a-dhia'n diwettha mis Ebrel! 😬 Mes bledhen aral, assay aral. Hedhyw an prompt o skrifa bardhonek a dhevnydh terminolieth ilow po art na wodhyen vy kyns, ytho y tewisis vy "korsen".  Here we are, another NaPoWriMo and I haven't posted here since the last one! But another year, another try.  Today's prompt was to write a poem using music or art terminology that is new to me, so I picked "kinetograph".  Korsen Y kopi kors Y kway an kowr A gemeras.  Dre dan den Daffar delit Hag a hag a.   Lost y lergh Yw bysyel bras Yn tibenn skwith. Kinetograph   It copies movement  It moves the giant  That took.  Through human fire Gears of joy Which go and go.  The route of its queue So digitally grand Endlessly tired.

Today's prompt was a challenge to write a poem that directly addresses someone, and that includes a made-up word, an odd/unusual simile, a statement of “fact,” and something that seems out of place in time (like a Sonny & Cher song in a poem about a Greek myth). With this poem I wanted to write to Walt Whitman, a poet I adore, creating the word 'mastranger' from 'master' and 'stranger'. The rest of the poem can speak for itself. Mestron ...
