POEM STARTER

Write a poem where the opening line is in a different language.

If you don't know another language you could look up a common phrase said in your language of choice that is linked to the theme of your poem.

A Fleeting Prayer

Poetry

Ais kamei xi feila—

That I might dance to the battle-song

That heralds none but death and violence now.

Give me this hope.

[Written in Alamour— a personal conlang.]
