Poet for the Month June 2008

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:11:06 GMT

Our Poet for this month may come as a surprise to many of you. She has so delicately belayed posting her poetry to make this presentation.

Introducing...

Our very own lovely lady from Romania. There is no need to praise her poetry and tell you how great she is once you begin to read it, you will know.

She does say, "As I made a promise you, I will try to translate some of my poems. It isn't easy for me as my English isn't so good but I tried to keep the basic idea of my poems."

She is a very busy lady right at present so we will present the poems in her language later.

Adelina Ghita

Now, let's start the month with celebration of Love, Relationships, Beauty, and Wonderful Times!! Come celebrate with us while we cherish this lady's work.

Not Enough Time for Love

In thousands of kisses

and moments of joy,

I’ll make you my lover,

I’ll make you my toy

To play all night long,

next day play again,

There’s no time to sleep

letting time pass in vain!

Being tired so that

to get flow like a stream,

Your dream will be love

and your love will be dream!

Time is passing so fast

like a traveler dove,

There’s not enough time

to live our love!

After years and years,

giving you one more kiss

In a long dream I’ll fall

of sweet memories…

Be loved !

Adelina Ghita ©

I Was a King

I’m lying on the seaside…

am I alive or dead?

It seems that winds are crying

and song of waves is sad …

What I am doing here?

So high I used to be!

Why looking to the sky

it looks so far for me?

No rain, or snow, or storm

was staying in my way!

Why I am feeling cold

just in this sunny day ?

I wish to have no answer,

but feeling broken wing

I wish to cry but I may not

because I am…I was a king…

Three minutes

Three minutes more of summer,

the last three minutes of today…

Autumn is knocking on the door,

the wind began to play.

A night more black than every night

was falling down over the street,

Just she and he walks hand in hand

by counting every feet.

It’s raining now with little drops

but they look not to care.

She stopped to caress a timid cat

that just came from nowhere.

Diffused shine of a street lamp

trying to spread a yellow light,

Is standing up just like a candle

in darkness of the night.

And the old man is watching

under his sloppy hat.

The time looks to forget him

But he cannot forget…

Exhaustion

I wake up in the morning

more tired than last night.

I run down in the street

before the morning light.

I get up in my bus

and take one ticket more,

I’m looking for a seat…

What to be angry for?

Can hear lot of voices,

some jolly and some sad,

A lot of men and women

just woke up from their bed.

The bus is stopping coughing…

It means my journey is done.

I tell myself: “How bad!

I must get down and run!”

Arriving in this place

that I was running for,

I wasn’t so surprised

to find just a closed door.

I get up in my bus

and take one ticket more,

I’m looking for a seat…

What to be angry for?

I will be back tomorrow!

Let’s see what it brings!

But now I feel exhausted…

I’ll take a sleep…Sweet dreams!

Enjoy, my friends and thank you, Adelina!!

Hello Sara :-)

WOW, WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE AND HOW WONDERFUL POEMS!?

ADELINA, I barely find my words to fit here!
I know how difficult it must have been as I also tried to translate a few lines (of other poets) and only seldom I managed to do this, keeping all the poetic features
(the message and at least the rhymes)

click!

CONGRATULATIONS!

and I'm so happy to find you here and more happy I could ever "met" you :-)
With lots of friendship hugs,

Hello Sara,

Thanks for bringing Adelina to my attention. I wan't even a friend to a fellow poet! Not good.

Adelina,

Your poetry is wonderful. I loved Three Minutes, I think it is my favorite. I also enjoyed "Not Enough Time for Love". Heck I loved them all. Please keep writing and expressing yourself. Words have a wonderful power to inspire us. And the world needs inspiration.

I hope you got my friends request.

See the sunlight dance on the moons naked shore.

Sunny Greetings from California to Everyone!

Thank you, Sara, for this special forum.

Dear Adelina,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful poems.
I always admire the folks who have talent to write good poetry in their native language. I even admire them more when they can translate their work into another language and still keep the integrity of their poems.

Congratulations on your literary achievement and on being featured as Poet for the Month, June 2008!!!

Let's have a toast with a cool and refreshing Strawberry-Mango-Rita drink from me.

Thank You Sara. What a Wonderful Choice.

Hello Adelina,

Will you never cease to surprise and amaze me?

You already know how much I admire and respect your dedication in Inspiring young minds to Think, in challenging them to Ponder and Explore, and in Shaping their developing Lives, through your example of Love and Caring.

Now, thanks to our Dear Friend Sara, I find that you can also Inspire this somewhat older mind to Imagine, this time-chiseled Heart to feel, and you allow me to experience the pure Emotions of this many faceted world in which we live. You are indeed an Artist, as you paint Beautiful Pictures with words and touch down deep into my Heart.

My Friend, you are an Inspiration and your Friendship is one of my Greatest Blessings.

Have a Blessed & Beautiful Weekend,

Phil

Adelina!!!

I don't even know where to begin. LOL!!!
Okay, first things first...
GREAT BIG HUG!!

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to translate poetry from one language to the other with trying to find similar rhyming words and such, but you pulled it off with the skill of a master translating poetress!

I like the flavor of your poetry. It reflects in such reality about life and the things that we go through. And TIME is what we all seem to like to write about. LOL!!!

Thank you for sharing of what your heart has spoken! I will sit here a while and read them again because I am so amazed. You have a beautiful heart.

Bravo to you!!!

Joe

Adelina has brought us another of her wonderful poems. She is so concerned about her translation but she did a wonderful job!! I know you will all agree. It is priceless. (I love the Kitty!)

Thank you so much Adelina.

Guilty

I saw him limping out of the jail

And I was listening to his tale.

Something so queer

Is hard to hear

And so I hold

That what he told

To let you know.

“About twenty years ago,

I felt one day to be the man

And got in drunk with some more beer.

I don’t know why, I don’t know when,

They brought me here…

That was God’s plan.

One of those empty days

Trying my fate to face,

Asking myself if there’ll be

Some better times for me,

I saw a bug!

Oh! What a mug!

Why is it free and I am not?!

That was the only thought

When crushed it,

But then I felt that creak

So sharp into my heart…

Such feeling is too hard

And leaving me no more,

So, you can see what for

From that black day

I’m limping on my way…”

Hello Adelina,

I am in awe when I read your poems and realize that these words were first assembled in Romanian and then translated to English. Isn't our heart's language very clever and unique?

Busy as we all seem to be this month, this has been a very special time for all of us who admire those who can and do write poetry. Thank you for blessing us with your wonderful gift... and we should thank God for blessing the world with your heart.

Adelina, just coming back. Thank you so much for your gifts to us this month and sharing your beautiful works of art with words and pictures. Romania must be a beautiful and wonderous place. You have used another talent so few of us have, translating your words to English. We appreciate your ability to do that and for sharing with us.

Joe, thank you for stopping by and enjoying Adelina's poetry from the heart.

Phil, dear friend, thank you so much for your support and for being a friend to all of us.

We hope you will continue to stop by and post some of your poetry. Now we can read it here and later in your own forum.

Sorry for being so late here. As you know, life isn't made only of pleasures. Some of my duties kept me away from online world. I was so touched and proud of your words than I didn't read them only to my children but also to my friend from kindergarten. I can't thank you enough but just to give you the biggest and the warmest hug! God bless you and yours!

As you see I wasn't online lately and I'm so happy to find you here. I just wait to tell us more about your journey / Gus and Corey wedding!

I was and I'm still sad these days as we lost our new fur baby. It's so strange as we live in an apartment on the third floor. I don't know how he could ran out. Still hoping to find it. Sorry for the sad moment.

Thank you so much for all the beautiful things you offered me! God bless you and yours!

This is him!
