they're counterfeits, you know my kindness and love --Shinko Tokizane ニセモノですよ私のやさしさも愛も　時実新子 Notes: ニセモノ -- "forgery, counterfeit, imitation, sham, fake"; ですよ adds a kind of emphasis, which I represented here with "you know" Take 2: they're fake! my kindness and my love #senryu #translation

Must English language poets eschew strict syllabatics because an English syllable isn't equivalent to a Japanese 'on'-- "rain" would be transliterated into three 'on'. In fact many Japanese poets also eschew strict sound patterns.

Shinko TOKIZANE, I think; was largely successful with #senryu because she did two things. She was previously a #tanka poet. So she naturally brought the expansiveness and freedom of emotion, self, and content into #senryu. And I think she tapped into the fullness of Haikai as a genre.

Translated from the German, my maiden name means "of the mountain of the red deer hind". In Japanese, my married name means "forest." My husband's first name is Glenn - a clearing in the forest. And here I am, living in the middle of a large city, with a constant urge to be among the trees #vss365

A poem by enslaved Black Creole, Pierre, included in "Louisiana Creole Dialect" by Prof. James Broussard. It's titled "Mo Las!" /I'm Tired!/ It was written in gallicized Kouri-Vini, and I translated it into our modern orthography.

Kouri-Vini started out as a pidgin. By the time the first and second generations of children belonging to the Enslaved were born, It became a bona fide language. Kouri-Vini and Louisiana French (often called Cajun French etc) are sister languages. Kouri-Vini is NOT broken French!
