I just came back from our Ägainst forgetting bi-lingual reading at the Australian Immigration Museum. it was quite interesting hearing ppl recite poetry in all these different languages. There were many ppl singing poetry in Hindi, and this woman did a passionate recital of a love poem in English, French and Italian. Very dramatic and nice to hear... especially French and Italian. ah! The romance languages. I read a poem in Cambodian and English. it was quite an experience using both tongues but it did incite some "ooohhhs" at the end, and lots of people telling me how beautiful it was. I actually only wrote it last Friday, and completed it on the train ride to the event, so i didn't really practice it much but it was OKAY in the end. Here you go:
