See comments at my Afrikaans translation, "Jy troos my met jou Trane". Thank you.

I like to use direct translation: to illustrate that it is possible to maintain poetical impact, and even the heart of the poem, by keeping as near as possible to the source poem. Sometimes I experiment with more creative ways of translating ... Perhaps I also like to oppose the 'Purists' in Literature ... Please forgive me if I sound mischievous, but I belief some academics lost the freedom of creativity ...

The most creative poem must first have the 'picture' of structure, and that is a dinamic process of pushing the structure to the subconscience and 'lifting' the subconscience to the awareness ... Then you get the amazing result that you can 'see' alliteration: e.g. 'four feathers in four vases' directly translated in Afrikaans: 'vier vere in vier vase' LOL Point made? LOL LOL Now follow suit ... WINK

This is just the lamer, first virsion, (sorta), of my poem "Promise".

One of my less dark poems. Gives hope of Life and explanation that you mustn't waste a moment of your life.
