Response to #110


The exercise this time is on Transliteration above is the online translation of a poem in Czech and below is my response.


To Push


Is more or less

To ask yourself

How you can go on

When you're stuck

Going round about all year

Knowing that you're a slob

Reaching deep in your soul

To discover who

It is you want

To find in your heart

Waiting to be moved

Drawing on Emotion


Sometimes I think I am a stone

A person too simple to like,

I thought emotions were like froth

Surging up, not buried alone

Beneath infertile gound, I strike

With a shovel, yet can't sunder,

I can't even shoulder my phone

So I don't question what my psych

Brunt as it is says about me,

I wish I could be Hercules

Strong enough to feel what is me
