There isn't much of #NaPoWriMo left this year, but I'm still trying with the daily prompts. Today the prompt was to write an American Sonnet. Basically it's a poem of 14 lines that usually ends with a bang. I co-wrote the Cornish and English today and I'm quite happy wiith both, though I'm not sure about my bang, but here's my attempt.
rann y'm kolon os a wrug ow holon ragov,
goos rudh ha kogh ha glas ha gell a liv dhymm
a-dhyworthis jy ha'n pols bian rennys yntra dew,
yntra tri, yntra milyow ha milvilyow usi ow resek ha strivya
dhe wruthyl chons ragov dhe strivya erbynn bilvilyow
erel. meur ras dhis a'm furvya a bri, hag eskern, ha spit
dhymm yth os a ros dhymm pubtra ha'm maga
dhe gara'n kamm ha kasa'n kamm, kamm, kamm
dhe-ves ahanav rag my dhe dhefolya linen dha gryj
ha dieth ov, rag meth ha sham y skollyav ow anal
yn hweth du kostek hag y hwastyav ow kneus
erbynn rusken onn a rygyow koth a les a-dreus
dhymm yth ov an gwettha rann

An American Sonnet in Cornish in English
you are a part of my heart that made my heart for me,
red and scarlet and blue and brown blood flows to me
from you and that small shared moment between two,
between three, between thousands and millions racing and striving
to create a chance for me to strive against billions
of others. thank you for making me from clay and bone and in
spite of myself you are the one who gave me everything and raised me
to love wrongly and hate wrongly, a miss-step
away from me as I pollute the lineage of your belief
as I am a shame, for shame and shame I spill my breath
in an expensive black puff and I waste my skin
against the ash’s bark of old cattle warts that spread across
to me I am the worst part
in my heart.
