I've always wanted to post some of my own texts but I really can't translate them in acceptable way -so I hope there are some people here who can read French...:rolleyes:

I suppose I'm not the only one in this situation -problem is, if you write in Finninsh, we might have some problems to understand (altough I really love the way Finnish sounds)... Waht do you think of it?

Hre's a short text I wrote for a contest about autumn fairytales in forests -strange thing.

I have a pitifully limited command of French, but I can understand surprisingly much of that. And it looks absolutely beautiful, even if I don't know what all of it means! :D Amazing, Arebeth - really.

Hey I could wrrite something in Finnish for y'all. :D Problem is, I hate writing poetry in Finnish for some reason.. At least the classical rhyming kind.
Haha, then we could hold a Translation Contest - if you can't translate it you can guess what it says! :D

Ok, I would like to attach some of my poems in Bulgarian. I hope that there are people who understand Bulgarian. :)

And here's an essay with which I won a competition. First price but it's no big deal...:p

I know Bulgarian!!!!
Great poem my beloved Findi!I just cannot explain with any words the feeling!!
The problem is that most of the people maybe do not have Cyrillic and I suggest you to publish them with Latin letter.Because they will see only strange a,e ,o,u not real letters.

Exactly what I was going to say. ;)
“ В Рая трябва да има всичко дори и Ад “ Родих се! От пяна чиста на райски водопад, от облак пурпурен на небесни царства. И дишах..., дишах златни

Arebeth,you are from the French part of Belgium?
BTW MorgothsBane,there is no Belgian language.There are three official languages in Belgium-French,Flemish(a kind of dialect of the Dutch language) and German.:)
